What it does
PHP array ↔ JSON is one of 55 tools in Hexkit, a desktop developer toolbox that runs entirely on your own machine. Parse PHP's serialize() format and emit JSON, or go the other way.
Because Hexkit is a native app rather than a web page, anything you paste into the php array ↔ json stays local — there are no uploads, no accounts and no telemetry. You can reshape configs and API payloads even with the network turned off, which makes it safe for tokens, keys and production data.
