How this Online Code Formatter works

This universal code beautification utility transforms messy, minified, or inconsistently formatted source code into clean, readable structures across multiple programming languages including Python, Java, JavaScript, Swift, C#, HTML, and CSS. The tool addresses the common developer problem of inherited legacy code, messy copy-pastes from tutorials, or minified scripts that need debugging but lack readability.

The formatting engine uses a combination of dedicated parsers and intelligent indentation algorithms tailored to each language's syntax. For curly-brace languages like Java, C#, and Swift, it enforces standard brace placement (K&R or Allman styles), ensures consistent indentation depth (configurable to 2 or 4 spaces), and standardizes spacing around operators and keywords. For indentation-sensitive languages like Python, it normalizes existing whitespace structures to ensure execution validity while improving visual hierarchy.

Web languages (HTML/CSS/JS) benefit from specialized rules handling tags, attributes, and property definitions, expanding single-line "minified" inputs into structured, tree-like formats. This processing occurs entirely client-side within the browser, meaning sensitive proprietary code or intellectual property is never transmitted to external servers, ensuring total privacy for developers working on confidential projects.

Example Usage

Formatting a minified Java class into a readable structure.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which languages does this formatter support?

Is my code safe?
Yes, 100%. All formatting happens in your browser using JavaScript. No code is sent to any server.
Can it fix syntax errors?
It focuses on formatting (white space, indentation). It will not fix undefined variables or logic errors, but it might highlight where syntax is broken by failing to format correctly.
