  • ✓Diff viewer — side-by-side and inline text comparison with change highlighting for code, config files and documentation
  • ✓JSONPath tester — query JSON documents with JSONPath expressions and see all matching results instantly with a collapsible result tree
  • ✓HTML entities reference — searchable, clickable reference for all named HTML character entities (&, <, >, non-breaking spaces and 2,000+ more)

Common Use Cases

  • Test and debug a regular expression against sample input with live match highlighting and flag toggling
  • Compare two versions of a configuration file or JSON response body with a visual side-by-side diff
  • Query a large, deeply-nested JSON response with a JSONPath expression to extract specific values
  • Look up the correct HTML entity for a special character (em dash, copyright sign, arrows) without leaving your workspace

Frequently Asked Questions

QIs my data sent to a server?

No. All tools run entirely in your browser. Nothing you paste or type is transmitted.

QWhat regex flavours does the regex tester support?

JavaScript regex syntax (ECMAScript). Flags g, i, m, s, u and d are all supported. Named capture groups, lookaheads, lookbehinds and Unicode property escapes are all highlighted correctly.

QWhat is JSONPath?

JSONPath is a query language for JSON, similar to XPath for XML. Use expressions like $.store.book[*].author or $..price to extract matching values from any JSON document.

QWhat does the HTML entities reference include?

All named HTML5 character entities with their Unicode code points, HTML entity names (e.g. &, ©, é) and a one-click copy button. Search by character, entity name or code point.
