The Changelog Parser is a free online tool for developers that parses Keep a Changelog-format Markdown files, automatically extracting version numbers, release dates, and change records by category (Added/Changed/Fixed/Security, etc.). Parsed results can be exported as JSON for integration into automated release workflows.
1. Paste Changelog Markdown content in the input area, or drag a CHANGELOG.md file
2. Click "Parse" or use Ctrl+Enter shortcut
3. View parsed results: version list, change statistics
4. Use the version filter to view changes for a specific version
5. Click "Copy JSON" or "Download JSON" to export structured data
In CI/CD pipelines, auto-parse CHANGELOG.md to extract the latest version's changes and generate GitHub Release Notes or Slack notifications.

Project managers quickly understand the scope and type of changes across versions, assessing release risk.
Convert Markdown Changelogs to JSON for import into databases or project management tools for further analysis.
Keep a Changelog is a widely-adopted community standard defining 8 change types: Added (new features), Changed (modifications), Deprecated (soon-to-be-removed), Removed (deleted features), Fixed (bug fixes), Security (vulnerability patches), Unreleased (pending).
