🛠️ DevToys New Tab: Swiss Army Knife for Developers
Turn your browser's new tab into a fast developer tools workspace. DevToys New Tab is a dev utils Chrome extension that bundles 30+ essential utilities across formatting, encoding, data conversion, DevOps helpers, testing tools, and image/color tools. Most tools run locally in your browser (offline), so you can work without relying on random online converters.

📌 Local tools + GA4 analytics
Tool inputs are processed locally in your browser. The extension uses Google Analytics (GA4) for basic usage analytics (e.g., feature usage). DevToys does not sell personal data.

🔍 Middle Box Search
The new tab page includes a search box that uses your browser's default search engine via the Chrome Search API.
• Search requires an internet connection.
• Developer tools work offline.

🚀 Quick Start Guide
1. Install the extension
2. Open a new tab OR click the extension icon for a popup view
3. Use the search box to search the web with your default search engine
4. Select a tool from the sidebar
5. Start working immediately

💡 Two Ways to Access Dev Tools
• New Tab — Opens automatically for instant developer tools access
• Popup — Click the extension icon for a quick dev toolbox without opening a new tab

✅ Developer tools included (highlights)
1️⃣ JSON formatter & JSON validator — format, minify, validate, unescape JSON, syntax highlighting, error line numbers
2️⃣ Base64 encoder/decoder — standard + URL-safe Base64 variants
3️⃣ Hash generator — MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-512
4️⃣ UUID generator — UUID v4 with one-click copy
5️⃣ JWT decoder — inspect JSON Web Tokens (header, payload, signature)
6️⃣ URL encoder/decoder + HTML encoder/decoder — safe escaping for web work
7️⃣ YAML formatter — clean and format YAML configuration files
8️⃣ SQL formatter — format and beautify SQL queries
9️⃣ XML formatter + XML validator — format, validate, and troubleshoot XML
🔟 Diff tool + list compare — compare text side-by-side, compare lists (diff/intersection)
🧪 Regex tester + JSONPath tester — test patterns/expressions with live matching
🗂️ Data converters — JSON ↔ CSV, XML ↔ JSON, date converter, number base converter (bin/oct/dec/hex)
📝 Markdown preview — live Markdown rendering for docs and README work
