It's written with TypeScript + Next.js, with a comprehensive test suite. There's a hosted version available, or the Readme has one-click install buttons for Vercel and Heroku. It should be easy to run on your own hardware too.

5. It should try to detect the format of the input, and intelligently choose output options.
The last point in particular I feel is an improvement on most existing services - paste in some text and it will try to auto-detect the format and convert it accordingly (although admittedly detection of some formats is a bit primitive currently).
It's built with TypeScript + Next.js. In addition to the hosted version, the GitHub README has one-click install buttons for Vercel and Heroku, plus Docker images.

What OS are you on? I have a MacBook for work and use ScriptKit. I’ve put together some JavaScript that just takes what is on my clipboard and formats it. I have one script for XML and one for JSON. Let me know if you would like them.
