Code & Data Formatting API

What it does

Code Formatting Tools gives you three small utilities for common text transforms: minify CSS or JavaScript, format JSON, and test regular expressions. Send code or text in the request body and get a structured result back, with validation details when the input is not usable.

Use /security/minify to shrink CSS or JS. Provide code and type, where type is css or js, and the response returns the minified result along with the echoed type and the tool name.

Use /security/json-format to check whether a JSON string is valid and format it. Send text and an optional indent value, or "minify" to compact it. When the input is valid, the response includes formatted JSON and stats with keys and depth; when it is not, you get valid: false and an error message.

Use /security/regex to verify a pattern against a text sample. Send pattern, text, and optional flags, and the response returns whether the regex is valid, plus matches and matchCount. That makes it useful for input validation, content cleanup, and quick debugging in developer tools or automation flows.

About this endpoint

What it does

Tests a regular expression against a piece of text and returns every match and the number of matches. It uses JavaScript regex syntax and supports flags such as g, i and m. If the pattern is invalid, the response says so with valid: false and an error message instead of failing. Use it to check patterns before using them in code, or to extract values from text.

Request Body

Parameter	Type	Mandatory	Description
pattern	String	Yes	The regular expression pattern to test.
text	String	Yes	The text to evaluate against the pattern.
flags	String	No	Regular expression flags. Default: `g` (all matches). Your value replaces the default, so include `g` to get all matches, e.g. `gi`.

Response

A successful call returns a JSON object with these fields:

Parameter	Type	Description
tool	String	Name of the tool that produced the response.
valid	Boolean	`true` if the pattern is a valid regular expression.
matches	Array of String or Any	All matches found in the text.
matchCount	Number	Number of matches.
error	String	Error message. Present only when `valid` is `false`.
