Humps is a small JavaScript utility library that converts strings and object keys between snake_case (underscore) and camelCase, recursively handling nested objects and arrays. It is commonly used to bridge JSON between JavaScript clients and Ruby/Rails-style APIs.

Use cases

• convert snake_case JSON keys to camelCase in JavaScript
• convert camelCase object keys to snake_case before sending to a Rails API
• recursively transform nested object keys' casing
• camelize or decamelize individual strings
• customize case conversion with separators or per-key callbacks

When to choose

• you need to reconcile snake_case backend payloads with camelCase JavaScript conventions
• you want a tiny, dependency-free key-casing converter with callback customization

When to avoid

• you need an actively maintained library - the project is explicitly unmaintained
• you need case conversion outside JavaScript/Node
• you need deep object transformation beyond key casing
