## About

## 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.
