Why convert text case?

- **Standardization**: Makes code easier to read and maintain. - **Compatibility**: Some languages or frameworks require a specific format (e.g., camelCase for JavaScript variables). - **SEO & writing**: Titles, URLs, and optimized content sometimes require a specific case. - **Automation**: Save time by avoiding tedious manual conversions. --- ###

Different case types

- **camelCase**: each word starts with a capital letter except the first (e.g., `myVariableTest`) - **snake_case**: words separated by underscores, all lowercase (e.g., `my_variable_test`) - **kebab-case**: words separated by hyphens, all lowercase (e.g., `my-variable-test`) - **UPPERCASE**: all capital letters (e.g., `MY VARIABLE TEST`) - **lowercase**: all lowercase letters (e.g., `my variable test`) --- ###
