Bencode Converter

Decode BitTorrent Bencode binary structure data (used in `.torrent` files and DHT network protocols) into readable JSON, and encode JSON back into Bencode format.

Why Use This Tool?

• Torrent File Inspection: Inspect `.torrent` metadata (announce URLs, file lists, piece hashes, piece length) in human-readable JSON.
• BitTorrent Client Development: Debug Bencode serialized data structures for torrent clients or DHT nodes.
• File Hash Verification: Verify piece length and file tree arrays in Bencoded structures.

How to Use

1. Paste Bencode string (e.g. `d4:spam4:eggse`) or upload a `.torrent` file.
2. Click Decode to view formatted JSON tree structure.
3. Modify JSON and click Encode to convert back to Bencode format.

Real Working Example

Input:

Bencode Input: d4:spam4:eggs4:wiki7:bencodee

Output Result:

JSON Result:
{
  "spam": "eggs",
  "wiki": "bencode"
}
