Description
A CSV or JSON file can be valid and still break when it reaches Excel, a database or an API. DataToolForge checks for those problems first: long numeric IDs, leading zeros, formula-like values, mixed types, ambiguous dates, malformed rows and other import risks. It also includes browser-based tools for cleaning, validating and converting data. Most file processing stays in the browser, and no account is required.

Could you build this?
Yes The product consists of client-side validation rules and parsing logic for CSV and JSON files, which is straightforward to implement in JavaScript or Python with standard regex and data-validation heuristics.
