What is dot case?

Dot case is a text formatting convention where words are separated by dots (periods) instead of spaces or other delimiters. It places dots between words to create identifiers like "hello.world" from "hello world". This format of words with dots is commonly used in programming for namespaces, package names, file paths, and domain names. It's also known as dot notation or period-separated format.

Tool Description

This tool converts regular text into dot case format and vice versa. You can transform any text with spaces into format with dots between words, making it suitable for use in code identifiers, configuration files, or URLs. The tool also allows you to convert words with dots back to readable format with spaces.
