How to use

  1. Identify what your downstream consumer actually expects — a format, an encoding, a checksum or a human-readable label.
  2. Match that expectation to the tool whose output is already in that form; converting twice loses information.
  3. When two tools look equivalent, prefer the one whose options expose the standard your consumer cites.
  4. Keep the related tools open side by side and run the same input through both; differences appear immediately.
