camelcase

The 'camelcase' package converts strings to camel case. It is more feature-rich than 'toidentifier', offering options to deal with acronyms, pascal case, and more complex string transformations.

slugify

While 'slugify' is designed to create URL slugs from strings, it also removes or replaces special characters and can be used to generate safe identifiers. It offers more options for handling special characters and case conversion compared to 'toidentifier'.

decamelize

The 'decamelize' package is somewhat the inverse of 'toidentifier', converting camel-cased strings back into lower case with a separator. It's useful for tasks that require the opposite operation of what 'toidentifier' performs.
