Code Formatting

This subcategory offers ten formatters that make code or structured data easier to read. It includes JSON Formatter, XML Formatter and SQL Formatter. Developers, reviewers and students can debug a compact file, prepare a review or look for a syntax issue. These ten formatters are available at no cost, with no account, and work in the browser.

Choose first by language or format: JSON for data, XML for a markup document, SQL for a query. The HTML, CSS, JavaScript, TypeScript and GraphQL formatters each target their own syntax. Sort JSON keys and JSON Paths add a structural view. Begin with the formatter that matches your content, then use the last two to explore how the data is organized.

How to use

  1. For data, start with JSON Formatter to indent and validate before exploring other paths.
  2. For a markup document or a query, use XML Formatter or SQL Formatter according to the syntax involved.
  3. For front-end files, choose HTML Formatter, CSS Formatter, JavaScript Formatter or TypeScript Formatter based on the file.
  4. For a GraphQL query, go through GraphQL Formatter, then add Sort JSON keys or JSON Paths for a structural read.

Frequently asked questions

Which formatter should I use for a database query?

Use SQL Formatter. It indents the query according to its dialect and makes it easier to review. If you later need to exchange the data, move to a conversion tool. For a simple read, the formatter is often enough.

Do the formatters fix syntax errors?

They may reveal a problem by refusing to format invalid content, but they do not fix everything for you. The result helps spot a missing comma or an unclosed tag. Always review the message before validating your file.

Can I sort JSON keys without formatting the document?

Yes. Sort JSON keys focuses on key order, while JSON Formatter handles indentation and validation. You can use either one, or combine them depending on the result you want.

Can I use JSON Paths after JSON Formatter?

Yes. JSON Formatter validates and indents the document, then JSON Paths lists paths and values. This sequence helps spot a misplaced key or an unexpected structure. You keep a broad read before a focused exploration.

Which formatter should I choose for TypeScript instead of JavaScript?

Use TypeScript Formatter for TypeScript types, interfaces and functions. JavaScript Formatter targets a JavaScript script without those annotations. If unsure, begin with the formatter matching the file language, then check the result.
