I hate writing Java DTOs from JSON

I know there are web tools and even ChatGPT for that. But cmon, they are all bad. With ChatGPT, you might end up with weird results, and hello, NPE (gpt likes primitives in dtos). And those online converters, lol, they can’t even fix a comma without freaking out. Plus, that bright white screen in the dark

So, I did what any developer would do—I made my own tool: jsontojava.com It’s simple but does exactly what I need: - Fix those extra commas we all accidentally copy - Dark mode - No garbage on the page, just core elements

You can share your feedback, I'll appreciate it. Maybe that tool - is another piece of trash

I went the other way - because I so much disliked working with DTOs to work with JSON, I wrote a library that allows you to get rid of DTOs in the first place. No more POJO / DTO in order to work with JSON data and much more. You could take a look at https://github.com/americanexpress/unify-jdocs. I think you will find it interesting!
