Use Extract JS TODO Comments when you are working with copied API payloads, logs, encoded values, config snippets, identifiers, or debugging data and need a quick browser-local check before pasting the result into docs, tickets, tests, or another developer tool.
How to use it
- Paste JavaScript, TypeScript, component snippets, copied files, or review notes that contain source comments.
- Choose whether duplicate action comments should be removed and whether extracted comments should be normalized for comparison.
- Review extracted TODO-style comments with line numbers, then copy the clean list for release cleanup, technical-debt reviews, tickets, or migration notes.
Example workflow
Copy a small payload or encoded value from an API response, request URL, log line, or config file. Run the focused check here, confirm the output is readable, then continue with related developer data tools such as validation, formatting, decoding, timestamp conversion, or CSV/JSON conversion.
