How to use Convert Bencode to JSON
- 1. Paste your Bencode. Paste the Bencode text you want decoded, the kind found in .torrent file metadata or BitTorrent tracker responses, with its distinctive i, l, d and e markers.
- 2. Pick the output indent. Choose 2 spaces, 4 spaces or tabs for the Indent setting to control how the decoded JSON is formatted for readability once the Bencode structure is unpacked.
- 3. Copy the JSON output. Copy the resulting JSON and read it directly, or feed it into other JSON tooling to inspect the dictionary and list structure the original Bencode data described.
When to use Convert Bencode to JSON
Convert Bencode to JSON decodes Bencode, the format BitTorrent uses for .torrent files and tracker communication, into standard JSON that is far easier to read and process with everyday tools.
- Inspecting a .torrent file's metadata. You extracted the raw info dictionary from a .torrent file and want to see its piece length, file list and other metadata as readable JSON rather than encoded Bencode.
- Debugging a BitTorrent tracker response. A tracker returned a Bencode-encoded response and you want to see the peer list and other fields as JSON to debug a client you are building.
- Testing a Bencode decoder's output against expectations. You wrote a Bencode parser and want to confirm it decodes a given input the same way this tool does, comparing the resulting JSON structures.
- Learning how BitTorrent's metadata format is structured. You are studying the BitTorrent protocol and want a readable JSON view of a Bencode sample to understand its dictionary and list nesting.
