A VS Code extension providing essential tools for MuleSoft developers, including secure property encryption/decryption, data formatting, certificate management, and various encoding/decoding utilities.
Features
Encrypt and decrypt sensitive configuration properties using AES encryption, fully compatible with MuleSoft's secure properties format.
- MuleSoft Compatible: Uses AES/CBC/PKCS5 encryption with output in
![base64] format
- Quick Access: Button appears in editor toolbar when working with YAML or
.properties files
- KeyIdentifier Presets: Built-in encryption keys for DEV, FIT, UAT, and PROD KeyIdentifiers
- Secure Key Management: Toggle visibility to show/hide encryption keys with partial masking
- Copy to Clipboard: One-click copy of encrypted values
🔐 AES Encrypt / Decrypt (Generic)
Encrypt and decrypt content using configurable AES settings in a separate tool (independent from MuleSoft secure-properties mode).
- Separate Tool: Uses command
devx.aesEncryptDecryptGeneric and appears separately in the DevX sidebar
- Input Sources: Text, File, and URL (
http/https) input supported
- Details Panel UX:
Details is collapsed by default; use the dropdown button on the right to expand/collapse options
- Cipher Options:
- Key Sizes:
128, 192, 256
- Modes:
CBC, CFB, CTR, OFB, ECB
- Paddings:
Pkcs7, Iso97971, AnsiX923, Iso10126, ZeroPadding, NoPadding
- Key Types:
PBKDF2EvpKDFCustom (with explicit Key/IV)
- Derivation Controls: Hash selection, salt type (
random / nosalt / custom), custom iteration toggle
- OpenSSL Salt Prefix: Uses
Salted__ prefix when derived-key flow uses salt
- Basic Encodings:
UTF-8, Hex, Base64 for input/output and custom key material fields
- Decryption Safety: Auto-detects Base64/Hex ciphertext when decrypting text to reduce encoding mismatch issues
- Output Actions: Copy button in output panel
🔤 Base64 Encode/Decode
Encode and decode Base64 strings with support for both text and file inputs.
- Text Mode: Encode/decode plain text strings
- File Mode: Upload or drag-and-drop files for Base64 encoding
- Copy Support: Easy clipboard integration
🔑 JWT Debugger
Decode and validate JWT (JSON Web Token) tokens.
- Token Decoding: View header, payload, and signature components
- Expiration Check: Validates token expiration timestamps
- Pretty Print: Formatted JSON output for easy reading
🆔 UUID Generator
Generate UUIDs in multiple formats for various use cases.
- UUID v1: Timestamp-based UUIDs
- UUID v4: Random UUIDs
- UUID v7: Timestamp-ordered UUIDs (ideal for database primary keys)
- Null UUID: Generate empty UUID (00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000)
- Bulk Generation: Generate up to 1000 UUIDs at once
Format text by escaping or unescaping special characters.
- Supported Characters:
\n - Newline\r - Carriage return\t - Tab\f - Form feed\b - Backspace\" - Double quote\' - Single quote\\ - Backslash
Format and beautify XML, JSON, and SQL code.
- XML Formatting: Pretty-print or minify XML documents
- JSON Formatting: Format JSON with customizable indentation (2-8 spaces)
- SQL Formatting: Auto-format SQL queries with proper indentation
- Minify Support: Compress XML and JSON (remove whitespace)
Comprehensive certificate management utilities.
- Validate Certificates: Check certificate validity, expiration, and format
- Decode Certificates: Extract detailed certificate information (subject, issuer, fingerprint, etc.)
- JKS Extraction: Instructions for extracting certificates from Java KeyStore
- PKCS12 Conversion: Generate OpenSSL commands to convert certificates to PKCS12 format
📊 Status / Healthcheck
Monitor the health and availability of your services with customizable endpoint checks.
- Service Cards: Visual cards with logos for MuleSoft, Salesforce, Jenkins, Confluent, Jira, Confluence, and more
- Configurable Endpoints: Add custom HTTP/HTTPS endpoints with method, headers, and certificates
- Client Certificate Support: Provide client certificates and private keys for secure connections
- Real-time Monitoring: Check individual services or refresh all with one click
- Response Time Tracking: See how long each service takes to respond
- Visual Status Indicators: Green (success), red (error), yellow (loading) color-coded cards
- Custom Headers: Add authorization tokens or custom headers for authenticated endpoints
- Easy Management: Add or remove services dynamically
- MuleSoft Anypoint
- Salesforce
- Jenkins
- Confluent
- Jira
- Confluence

Encryption Details
MuleSoft Secure Properties Mode (devx.aesEncryptDecrypt)
The MuleSoft tool uses the following format:
- Algorithm: AES-128-CBC or AES-256-CBC (based on key length)
- IV (Initialization Vector): Derived from first 16 characters of the encryption key
- Output Format:
![base64EncodedString]
- Key Requirements: Minimum 16 characters (32 characters recommended for AES-256)
Example
Plain Text: mySecretPassword123
Encrypted (with DEV key): ![YWJjZGVmZ2hpamtsbW5vcA==]
Generic AES Mode (devx.aesEncryptDecryptGeneric)
- AES Modes:
CBC, CFB, CTR, OFB, ECB
- Key Sizes:
128, 192, 256
- KDF Types:
PBKDF2, EvpKDF, or Custom Key/IV
- Hash Algorithms:
MD5, SHA1, SHA224, SHA256, SHA384, SHA512, RIPEMD160
- Salt Types: Random, No Salt, or Custom (8-byte salt)
- Iteration Defaults:
- Custom Iteration: Optional override via Details panel
- Encodings:
UTF-8, Hex, Base64
- Input Types: Text / File / URL
- URL Fetching: Host-side
http/https fetch with timeout and redirect handling
