More Info

DevUtil

Base64, JSON, SQL, UUID, and diff tools for your editor selection — no custom UI, everything runs through the Command Palette.

Commands

All commands are prefixed 🛠️ DevUtil: — open the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P / Ctrl+Shift+P) and type "DevUtil" to see them.

Command Behavior
Base64 Encode Selection replaces selection in-place
Base64 Decode Selection replaces selection in-place
JSON Beautify Selection replaces selection in-place
JSON Minify Selection replaces selection in-place
JSON Escape Selection replaces selection in-place
JSON Unescape Selection replaces selection in-place
SQL Beautify Selection replaces selection in-place
SQL Minify Selection replaces selection in-place
Generate UUID at Cursor inserts at cursor; each cursor in a multi-cursor selection gets its own UUID
Diff Selection with Clipboard opens VSCode's native side-by-side diff view
Diff File with File pick two currently open editor tabs, opens native diff view

Transform commands operate on the current selection, or the full document if nothing is selected. Invalid input (e.g. malformed Base64/JSON) shows an error message and leaves the document untouched.
