can‑string‑to‑any is a tiny utility that parses a text string and returns the corresponding native JavaScript value (e.g., `"null"` → `null`, `"‑3"` → `-3`, `"false"` → `false`, `"NaN"` → `NaN`). It works both in Node.js and in browsers and can be imported as an ES module or loaded via a global script, making it useful for developers who need to safely convert configuration, query‑string, or user‑provided string data into proper JavaScript types.
