SindByte tool execution flow: voice command, AI parse, execute, validate, result

Description

Turn Key=Value text into structured data! ParseKeyValue parses configuration files, environment variables, INI files, query strings and any key-value format - automatically and reliably. Manual mapping is a thing of the past!

With flexible delimiters, support for nested values, comment handling and type inference, you turn unstructured configurations into immediately usable JSON objects. Perfect for DevOps, system integration and configuration management!

Why This Tool Stands Out

Automatic Parsing of INI, ENV, configs
Flexible Delimiters - =, :, or custom
Comment Handling - # and ; are ignored
Type Detection - numbers, booleans automatically

Perfect for:

DevOps engineers, system administrators, backend developers and everyone who needs to process configurations. Ideal for .env files, INI parsers, query string processing, system configurations and properties files. Perfect for Docker Compose, Kubernetes, CI/CD pipelines and cloud configurations!

Workflow support; time savings depend on the task

Instead of parsing configuration files manually, mapping keys and converting values, ParseKeyValue instantly delivers a structured JSON object - ready for use in your application!

JSON Parameters

text REQUIRED (String)The key-value text to parse. Can contain multiple lines.
delimiter OPTIONAL (String)The delimiter between key and value. Default: "=". Alternatives: ":", " ", etc.
ignoreComments OPTIONAL (Boolean)Whether lines starting with # or ; should be ignored as comments. Default: true
trimWhitespace OPTIONAL (Boolean)Whether whitespace should be trimmed from keys and values. Default: true
detectTypes OPTIONAL (Boolean)Whether values should be converted automatically to numbers/booleans. Default: true

Example Call

{
  "tool": "ParseKeyValue",
  "params": {
    "text": "# Database configuration\nDB_HOST=localhost\nDB_PORT=5432\nDB_SSL=true\n\n# App settings\nAPP_NAME=MyApp\nAPP_DEBUG=false",
    "delimiter": "=",
    "ignoreComments": true,
    "trimWhitespace": true,
    "detectTypes": true
  }
}

Example Usage

Load the Configuration File

Load the content of your .env, INI or properties file.

Configure the Parser

Choose the appropriate delimiter and whether comments should be ignored.

Use the JSON Object

Use the parsed object directly in your application or API.

Return Values

The tool returns an object with the following properties:

data (Object)
The parsed key-value object
keyCount (Integer)
Number of parsed key-value pairs
keys (Array)
Array of all keys found
linesParsed (Integer)
Number of lines processed
success (Boolean)
True if parsing was successful
error (String, optional)
Error message if parsing failed
