What is a Cron Expression?
A cron expression is a string of five (or sometimes six) fields that represent a schedule for a task. It's the standard way to define when a job should run in Unix-like operating systems. This tool helps you decode that string into a human-readable format.
The 5 Fields of a Cron String:
- Minute: 0-59
- Hour: 0-23 (in 24-hour format)
- Day of Month: 1-31
- Month: 1-12 or JAN-DEC
- Day of Week: 0-6 or SUN-SAT (where both 0 and 7 represent Sunday)
Our parser supports standard cron syntax, including wildcards (`*`), ranges (`-`), lists (`,`), and step values (`/`).
