How to Use

  1. Paste multi-line text

    Each non-empty line becomes a separate array element. Empty lines are ignored automatically.

  2. Generate the array

    Click Generate to build a double-quoted array with escaped characters and two-space indentation.

  3. Copy the formatted output

    Paste the array into editors, code reviews, or automation scripts as needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

How are quotes handled?

Any double quotes inside your lines are escaped automatically to keep the literal valid.

Are empty lines included?

No. Empty lines are skipped so the array only contains meaningful entries.

Can I change the indentation?

The tool emits two-space indentation by default. After copying you can apply project-specific formatting with Prettier or your editor.
