Code Beautifier

Code beautifying is the process of transforming minified or poorly formatted code into readable, well-structured code. This is essential for easier reading, maintenance, and collaboration on development projects.

What is a Beautifier?

A beautifier is a tool that adds indentation, line breaks, and consistent spacing to code. It transforms compacted code (like minification output) into code that follows formatting standards, making it easier to understand and edit.

Supported Formats

• HTML: Formats tags, attributes and web document structure
• CSS: Organizes selectors, properties and values with proper indentation
• JavaScript: Structures functions, objects and flow controls
• JSON: Formats data with indentation and line breaks
• SQL: Organizes queries with uppercase keywords and indentation
• XML: Formats XML documents with clear hierarchical structure

Benefits of Formatting

• Readability: Well-formatted code is much easier to read and understand
• Debugging: Errors are easier to find in organized code
• Collaboration: Facilitates teamwork with consistent code
• Maintenance: Readable code is easier to update and maintain

Usage Tips

Use the beautifier when receiving minified production code for analysis, when debugging third-party code, or when you need to reformat code that doesn't follow a consistent pattern. For professional projects, consider using automatic formatters like Prettier integrated into your code editor.
