Plain English
The JustAnIota Converter turns readable English source into a reviewable visible-token candidate and decodes the candidate back into an English gloss.
Technical summary
It preserves a source-aware envelope, canonicalizes fields, resolves registry mappings, exposes PUA scalar previews, and labels exact versus approximate recovery.
Deep spec
Conversion must not invent semantics. Visible tokens and private-use characters are usable only inside controlled profiles and must remain registry-bound.
Converter stages
- Normalize source fields.
- Canonicalize the envelope.
- Resolve registry mappings.
- Generate visible IOTA-1 and PUA scalar preview forms.
- Decode visible tokens, scalar notation, or envelope JSON into an English gloss.
- Attach validation and unsupported-case warnings.
JustAnIota Converter
Bidirectional semantic conversion for English and IOTA-1
This workbench follows the public-MVP direction from the source docs: deterministic registry matches first, visible IOTA-1 tokens for copy/paste, PUA scalar preview for the later compressed profile, and a canonical envelope that keeps meaning outside Unicode itself. When the converter plugin is active, the browser calls the REST service and keeps the local path as fallback.
Validator / Encoder
Check the envelope before exporting compact tokens
The browser workbench validates required fields, Unicode safety warnings, registry-dependent payloads, and a deterministic demo encoding. Server-side validation remains a future implementation surface.
