Ansible FQCN Converter

About This Tool

Converts between short Ansible module references and fully qualified collection names (FQCN). It supports single and batch conversions, enabling teams to standardize module references across playbooks and documentation.
Conceptually, it parses an input into a namespace, collection and module, then applies deterministic mapping rules to produce either the short form or the FQCN. It can also infer the best matching namespace from a curated registry or local cache. The tool is valuable for developers, sysadmins, and CI engineers who maintain multiple collections and need consistent naming for linting, reviews, and automated testing.
Unique value lies in its directional conversion, deterministic namespace prioritization, and output formatting that is readily consumable by scripts and pipelines. Core features include input normalization, parse into components, and version-aware or batch-ready outputs compatible with JSON pipelines. Typical use cases include refactoring playbooks to replace short names with FQCNs, auditing references across a codebase, or validating playbooks in CI against a canonical naming scheme.
