Input:
{"message":"hello there","id":1}
{"message":"why hello there","id":2}
Example:
{"id":1,"message":"hello there"}
Output:
{"id":1,"message":"hello there"}
{"there":id,"message":"why hello"}For example, I added some information in the example below about which pronoun to use based on gender. Would be really neat to have this sort of information built into the tool.
Input:
{name: "James", age:"30", hobby: "running", genderWord: "his"}
{name: "Erin", age:"28, hobby: "cooking", genderWord: "her"}
{name: "Owen", age:"3", hobby: "playing chase", genderWord: "his"}
{name: "Luke", age:"1", hobby: "reading", genderWord: "his"}
Output:
James is 30 years old and his favorite hobby is running
Erin is 28 years old and her favorite hobby is cooking
Owen is 3 years old and his favorite hobby is playing chase
Luke is 1 years old and his favorite hobby is readingEarlier quoted context omitted.

3. Transformy will look at your example and transform every line from your source data into the same format.

I hope you sell your IP to Microsoft Excel. This would be a major time saver feature for a lot of the Excel world.
I could have used this hundreds of time in Visual Studio. We often process messages with hundreds of fields. So I will have a class from specs (usually excel) with a number of properties, then I need a method to populate each of those from some other object, then I need a method that does the reverse - populates some other object from the properties. This happens over and over for us. Typically I just use a Notepad++…
