Frequently Asked Questions

What is camelCase?

camelCase is a naming convention where the first word is lowercase and subsequent words start with uppercase letters, with no spaces or punctuation. For example, 'user name' becomes 'userName'. It's named for the 'humps' created by the capital letters.

When should I use camelCase?

Use camelCase for: JavaScript/TypeScript variables and functions, Java methods and variables, JSON object keys, API parameter names, and anywhere the coding style guide requires camelCase naming.

What's the difference between camelCase and PascalCase?

camelCase starts with a lowercase letter (myVariableName), while PascalCase starts with an uppercase letter (MyClassName). camelCase is typically used for variables and methods, while PascalCase is used for class and component names.

Can I convert multiple variable names at once?

Yes! Enable Batch Mode to convert multiple variable names line-by-line. Enter each variable name on a new line, and the tool will convert each one to camelCase independently.

How does the tool handle numbers and special characters?

The tool extracts alphanumeric words and joins them in camelCase format. Special characters (spaces, hyphens, underscores) are removed and act as word boundaries. Numbers are preserved within words.

Can I upload a file with variable names?

Yes! Click the Upload icon to load a .txt file (max 1MB) containing variable names to convert. Perfect for batch converting legacy code or documentation.

Is my code saved or stored?

No. All conversion happens 100% client-side in your browser. Your code and variable names never leave your device, ensuring complete privacy and security.

Is this camelCase converter free?

Yes, completely free with no registration, hidden fees, or limitations. Use it for personal or commercial development projects.
