About snake_case Converter
A snake_case converter writes words in lowercase and joins them with underscores. Paste getUserProfileName and you get get_user_profile_name, and paste a phrase such as Total Amount (USD) and you get total_amount_usd. It is free, needs no sign-up and runs in your browser, so nothing you enter is uploaded.
snake_case is the usual style for variable, function and file names in Python and Ruby, and for column names in many databases. The tool splits camelCase and PascalCase at the capitals, so it works on code identifiers as well as on plain phrases.
Each line is converted separately, which makes it useful for turning a column of headings, such as a spreadsheet header row, into field names. Punctuation and symbols are dropped.
