What is a .STRINGS file?
The most common data format on the web.
A .strings file is an Apple localization file that stores translated text for macOS, iOS, and other Apple platform apps. Developers open it in Xcode or any text editor. End users find these files inside app bundles and do not need to open them.

Frequently asked questions
Is my .STRINGS file uploaded anywhere?
No. The file is opened directly from the copy you pick.
My .STRINGS file is invalid. Can you fix it?
We show the exact line and column of the first error. For common problems like comments, trailing commas, single quotes or Python-style True/False/None, click Try to repair and download the fixed file.
How large can the file be?
Up to 50 MB. The tree only builds the branches you open, so even multi-megabyte files stay responsive.
What is JSONPath?
A path like $.orders[3].customer.email that points to one value inside the data. Click any node to see its path and copy it for code, jq or your API docs.
Can I see my data as a table?
Yes. Any array of objects can be shown in the Table view and downloaded as CSV.
