What is a code formatter?

A code formatter parses raw source code or data and re-serializes it with consistent indentation, line breaks, and spacing. Formatted code is significantly easier to read, review, and debug than minified or manually written output.

Why format in the browser?

All tools on this page run entirely in your browser using JavaScript — no server request is made. This means your code (including API keys, secrets, and proprietary logic) never leaves your device. It also means formatting is instant, works offline, and has no rate limits.

Popular formatters

  • JSON Formatter — beautify and validate JSON with syntax highlighting; switch to Minify mode for production payloads.
  • SQL Formatter — indent SQL queries for MySQL, PostgreSQL, and T-SQL with keyword capitalization.
  • CSS Formatter — normalize stylesheets: sort properties, fix indentation, or minify for deployment.
  • XML Formatter — prettify XML with proper indentation and check well-formedness errors.
  • YAML Validator — check YAML syntax and format with correct indentation — great for Kubernetes and CI configs.
