Dot Case Converter
Convert text into dot.case by splitting on delimiters and case boundaries, then joining lowercase words with dots.
Description
Convert mixed identifiers and phrases into lowercase dot.case.
Dot case is useful for metric namespaces, event names, and dotted configuration keys where readable segments are separated by periods.
When to use Dot Case Converter
- Create a dotted metric or event name
- Normalize several identifier styles
- Inspect the number of key segments
How the calculation works
Case boundaries are expanded, spaces, underscores, hyphens, and dots split tokens, and normalized lowercase tokens are joined with periods.
Interpreting the result
The output is a flat string; its periods do not automatically create nested data. `wordCount` reports the number of resulting segments.
Important limitations
- Literal periods are treated as separators rather than escaped.
- The target configuration system's key rules are not validated.
