Character, Word & Line Counter — REST API

POST /api/v1/tools/text-count

Request

{ "input": "Hello world\nSecond line\n" }

Success response (200)

{
  "success": true,
  "data": { "characters": 24, "characters_no_spaces": 20, "words": 4, "lines": 2 },
  "meta": { "tool": "text-count", "duration_ms": 0.01 }
}

Never errors on empty/whitespace-only input — counting is well-defined for any text. characters counts unicode runes, not bytes.
