About Code Formatter Online

Minified or single-line code — JavaScript, JSON-like structures, CSS, or any C-style syntax using braces, brackets, and parentheses — is unreadable without reformatting. This tool reindents code generically by tracking bracket depth: opening braces, brackets, and parens increase indentation, closing ones decrease it, and semicolons break statements onto their own lines.

It's a genuinely universal approach rather than a language-specific formatter: because it works purely on bracket and statement-terminator characters rather than parsing a specific language's grammar, it works reasonably well across JavaScript, C, Java, CSS, and other brace-delimited languages without needing to select which language you're formatting.

This trades language-specific precision (like Prettier's deep understanding of JavaScript syntax) for broad applicability — useful for a quick reformat of minified code from any C-style language when you don't want to identify the exact language or install a dedicated formatter first.

How it works

  1. Paste minified or messy code. JavaScript, CSS, JSON-like, or other brace-delimited code.
  2. Structure rebuilds automatically. Bracket depth tracking adds proper indentation.
  3. Copy the beautified result. Readable, indented code.

Examples

Beautifying a minified function

Input

function add(a,b){return a+b;}

Output

function add(a,b){\n  return a+b;\n}
