Frequently Asked Questions

How does type coercion work for .env variables?

Values like `true` or `false` are converted to booleans, pure digits are converted to numbers, and text or quoted values remain strings.

Can I convert nested JSON back into a .env file?

Yes, nested JSON objects will have their keys flattened using uppercase underscore notation (e.g. `DATABASE_HOST`).
