WPL Converter

About This Tool

The WPL Converter computes conversions between WPL units used in text metrics across data pipelines and content workflows. It targets developers, data engineers, editors, QA specialists, and researchers who model line-length or density in documents, templates, or feeds. The tool enforces consistent numeric transformations and supports both single and batch workflows.
Conceptually, conversions rely on a predefined matrix of unit factors. Where a direct factor exists, value_to = value_from × factor. When no direct factor is defined, the tool computes via an intermediate base unit, ensuring robust coverage for common and custom WPL definitions. Outputs are precise to a configurable precision.
Typical use cases include validating document templates, normalizing metrics in reports, and automating content sizing rules in publishing pipelines. Users benefit from error handling, clear unit lookup, and export options that fit into data lakes or ETL processes. The approach minimizes manual calculation errors and accelerates quality checks.
Key features include input validation, unit lookup, batch processing support, rounding and formatting rules, and export of results to CSV or JSON. The tool remains agnostic to UI and can be integrated into scripting environments for automated validation, dashboards, or API-driven workflows.
