Why convert a list to an array?

Arrays are easier to use in code, database queries, scripts, tests, API payloads, and automation workflows. This list to array converter turns raw text into a ready-to-copy output format.

Trim spaces, remove empty lines, remove duplicates, sort alphabetically, normalize case, and choose quotes or numeric values before generating the array.
