Text Case & Slug

Consistent casing reduces friction across APIs, database columns, and front-end routes. camelCase suits JavaScript objects; snake_case fits Python and SQL; kebab-case is standard for URLs and CSS class fragments. Slug generators transliterate spaces and punctuation into hyphenated paths safe for routing.

Automatic case conversion cannot infer semantic word boundaries in acronyms. Strings like HTTPServer may become httpserver in snake_case unless you split acronyms manually. Slug tools should strip diacritics and reject characters outside URL-safe sets per your locale requirements.

SEO slugs benefit from lowercase, hyphen-separated words without stop-word noise. File names in repositories often use kebab-case while environment variables stay SCREAMING_SNAKE. Document team conventions beside generated output so new services stay aligned.

Convert titles and labels locally when they include unreleased product codenames or partner names. Local transforms avoid leaking marketing strings into public paste services during draft CMS work.
