Frequently asked questions
- Does the SQL Formatter run real SQL queries?
- No — it only reformats SQL text for readability. Nothing is executed against any database, and no SQL is sent to a server.
- Which regex flavor does the Regex Tester use?
- JavaScript's native RegExp engine (ECMAScript). Supports the g, i, m, s, u, and y flags. PCRE-only features like recursive patterns are not supported.
- Can I generate QR codes for vCards or Wi-Fi credentials?
- Yes — paste the appropriate string (e.g. WIFI:T:WPA;S:MyNetwork;P:password;;) and it will encode into a scannable QR code. Download the result as PNG.
- What cron syntax does the Cron Parser support?
- Standard 5-field Unix cron syntax (minute hour day-of-month month day-of-week). Parses common expressions and shows the next 5 execution times.
- How is reading time calculated in the Word Counter?
- Reading time uses an average reading speed of 200 words per minute, which is the conventional figure for adult readers on screen.
- Does the Markdown Preview support GitHub-Flavored Markdown?
- Yes. Tables, code blocks with syntax highlighting, task lists, strikethrough, and autolinks all render correctly.
