- Convert multiline cURL copied from a terminal or bug report.
- Preserve request headers and JSON bodies for a frontend test.
- Create an Axios snippet for a quick Node or browser experiment.

How it works
The parser tokenizes shell-style quotes, handles common cURL flags, then emits fetch or Axios with a clear warning for unsupported flags.
Common mistakes
- Review secrets before copying generated code into a shared place.
- Some cURL features such as compressed responses, cookies, and multipart files are intentionally out of scope.
- If a command depends on shell variables, replace them with literal values before conversion.
