Welcome to our "Convert to Camel Case" tool, the only tool you need to transform any text or variables to Camel Case online. This tool converts one or multiple lines of plain/ snake_case/ hyphen-case/ kebab-case text to the same number of camelCase outputs (both lower and UPPER Camel Case). It is easy to use and converts text to camel case (also known as dromedaryCase, camel caps or medial capitals) instantly. Just type, upload, or copy/paste the texts in the "Input" field and press the "Camel Case" or "Upper Camel/Pascal Case" button. The texts will be immediately converted and shown in the "Output" field.

Camel case (also known as dromedaryCase, camel caps or medial capitals) represents a convention for constructing compound words, phrases or variable names where each word within the phrase starts with a capital letter (except for the first letter), devoid of any intervening spaces or punctuation. This terminology derives its name from the "humps" created by its capitalized letters, akin to the distinctive dual humps of a Bactrian camel 🐫.

There are two primary variations of camel case: upper camel case (also known as Pascal case) and lower camel case (simply known as camel case). In upper camel case (also known as Pascal case), the initial letter of each word is capitalized and all spaces and punctuation marks are removed, like in "UpperCamelCaseExample". Conversely, lower camel case begins with a lowercase initial letter for the first word only, and all other words start with a Capital letter while also devoiding all spaces and punctuation symbols, as in "lowerCamelCaseExample". This tool converts your texts/ variables/ constant names in plain text, kebab-case or snake_case to both lowercase camel (it is more widely used and is more frequently required) and uppercase camel (which is also known as Pascal Case).

Examples for Camel Case:

Example 1: Plain text with special characters

Input: The fox(!) jumps over^^ the lazy@ dog
Output in lower camel case: theFoxJumpsOverTheLazyDog
Output upper camel/ Pascal case: TheFoxJumpsOverTheLazyDog

Example 2: Snake Case text/ variable names

Input: SnaKE_CaSe_ex!amp^le
Output in lower camel case: snakeCaseExample
Output upper camel/ Pascal case: SnakeCaseExample

Example 3: Kebab/Hyphen Case text/ variable names

Input: Kebab_CaSe_ex^ample
Output in lower camel case: kebabCaseExample
Output upper camel/ Pascal case: KebabCaseExample

This online Camel Case Converter tool allows you to change one or multiple lines of text into the lower and upper camelCase. Your text can be plain text, snake case text/variable names, hyphen/kebab case text/ variable names, and can contain special characters. For that, it removes spaces between words and all the unnecessary punctuation symbols, and then the first letter of each word is capitalized (for the lower camel case the first letter of the first letter is not capitalised).

It can detect snake or kebab cases from your input text, and converts them into Camel Case with precision. Therefore, the result is a compound word of multiple words that is shown in the output text area. If your input has multiple lines, the tool assumes that you want multiple lines of camel cases of your text instead of just one, and it then simply gives you your desired output in separate lines. It allows you to mix snake_case, kebab-case, and plain text in the same input.

Camel case is commonly used in various scenarios to create compound identifiers or names by capitalizing the first letter of each word while eliminating spaces or punctuation. Here are 10 scenarios when camel case is necessary or commonly used, along with examples:

1. Variable Naming in Programming: In software development, the camel case is frequently used to name variables and functions for readability and consistency.
Example: `firstName`, `totalAmount`, `getUserInfo()`

2. Class and Object Naming: Camel case is applied to name classes and objects in object-oriented programming languages.
Example: `MyNewClassName`, `userProfileDetails`

3. File Naming: Camel case is used to name files, especially in web development, where spaces are not allowed in URLs.
Example: `userDetails.html`, `mainStyleSheet.js`

4. Property Naming in JSON: When working with JSON data, the camel case is often used for property names.
Example: `{ "firstName": "John", "lastName": "Doe" }`

5. Method and Function Naming: Naming methods and functions with camel case is a common practice in programming.
Example: `calculateTotalPrice()`, `getUserData()`

6. URLs and Routing: In web development, camel cases can be used for routing and URL patterns.
Example: `/getUserProfile`, `/productDetails`

7. Database Column Names: Some databases use the camel case for column names, especially when the naming convention follows the camel case.
Example: `orderDate`, `customerAddress`

8. Variable Naming in Math and Engineering: Camel case is applied in mathematical equations or engineering calculations for clarity.
Example: `accelerationDueToGravity`, `initialVelocity`

9. Naming Components in UI Development: In frontend development, the camel case is used for naming UI components and elements.
Example: `submitButton`, `userAvatar`

10. Naming Custom CSS Classes: When creating custom CSS classes or IDs, camel case is a common choice for class names.
Example: `.myCustomClass`, `#mainContainer`

In all these scenarios, camel case enhances readability and consistency, making it easier to distinguish individual words within the identifier or name while avoiding spaces or special characters that may cause issues in various programming or naming contexts.

FAQ 1: What is camel case, and why is it used?
Answer: Camel case is a naming convention where compound words or phrases are written without spaces or punctuation, and each word within the phrase begins with a capital letter. It is used in programming and other contexts to improve readability and consistency in variable, function, and identifier names.

FAQ 2: What are the two common variations of camel case?
Answer: The two primary variations of camel case are upper camel case and lower camel case. In upper camel case, the initial letter of the compound word is capitalized (e.g., CamelCase), while in lower camel case, the initial letter is in lowercase (e.g., camelCase).

FAQ 3: When should I use camel case in programming?
Answer: Camel case is commonly used for naming variables, functions, classes, and objects in programming languages. It enhances code readability and conforms to coding style guidelines, making your code more maintainable and consistent.

FAQ 4: What is the difference between Pascal and Camel Case?
Answer: Pascal Case and Camel Case are both naming conventions used in programming and they are very similar. The main difference lies in how they capitalize the first word within identifiers. In the Pascal Case, each word starts with a capital letter, while in Camel Case, the first word is lowercase and subsequent words start with a capital letter.
Example of Pascal Case: PascalCaseExample
Example of Camel Case: camelCaseExample

FAQ 5: Are there any programming languages that do not use camel case?
Answer: While the camel case is a prevalent convention, some programming languages may have different naming conventions. For example, Python prefers snake_case, where words are separated by underscores (e.g., snake_case_variable). It's essential to follow the naming conventions specific to the language you are using.

FAQ 6: Can I convert multiple lines of text to a camel case using this tool?
Answer: Yes, you can convert multiple lines of text to the camel case in our tool. Just write them in new lines in the "Input" field instead of a single line. Please note that if you write all your text in a single line, the tool assumes that you have only one line of text to convert to a single camel case text.

FAQ 7: Can I convert several variable names that are written in the snake case to the camel case using this tool?
Answer: Yes, you can transform any number of snake case variable or constant names to the camel case with our tool. Just write them in new lines in the "Input" field instead of a single line.

FAQ 8: Can I change my variable names that are written in the kebab or hyphen case to the camel case using this tool?
Answer: Yes, you can convert any number of kebab case variable or constant names to the camel case with our tool. Just make sure each of them is in a new line in the "Input" field when you copy/paste or upload them.
