Normalize Line Endings

Overview

You send inline UTF-8 text or a UTF-8 file_ref. We rewrite CR, LF, and CRLF to one target sequence, report how many of each we saw, and drop a UTF-8 BOM from logical text while telling you it was there. Output stays inline up to 1 MiB and becomes a managed file above that. This is not encoding detection, whitespace formatting, or a binary rewrite.

Silent newline conversion hides whether a file used CR, LF, or CRLF and breaks later diffs.

When to use it

Scope

Non-goals

• Does not detect or convert character encodings

Limitations

• Does not detect or convert character encodings
• Does not reformat whitespace or wrap lines
• Does not rewrite binary files
• Guessing a legacy code page
• Pretty-printing source

How to call

POST /v1/execute (requires authentication)

{
  "skillKey": "file.normalize_line_endings",
  "input": {
    "text": "a\r\nb\rc\n"
  }
}

Examples

{
  "text": "a\r\nb\rc\n"
}

{
  "preserveFinalNewline": true,
  "utf8ByteSize": 6,
  "text": "a\nb\nc\n",
  "inputHadBom": false,
  "crCount": 1,
  "target": "LF",
  "lfCount": 1,
  "crlfCount": 1
}

{
  "text": "x\n"
}

{
  "preserveFinalNewline": true,
  "utf8ByteSize": 2,
  "text": "x\n",
  "inputHadBom": true,
  "crCount": 0,
  "target": "LF",
  "lfCount": 1,
  "crlfCount": 0
}

Recommended use cases

• Normalize mixed CR/LF extracts before a later UTF-8 diff
• Force CRLF on a checkout that arrived with lone CR

Avoid for

• Guessing a legacy code page
• Pretty-printing source
