About the JavaScript String Extractor
The usual reason to do this is internationalisation: the list of literals is the list of text that still needs to move into a translation file.
It is also a quick way to spot a hard-coded URL or key that should have come from configuration.

Is it free, and do I need an account?
Yes, it is free, and there is no account, no sign-up and no watermark on the result. The project is funded by optional donations.
