JavaScript Formatter

function greet(name){if(name){console.log(“Hello, “+name);}else{console.log(“Hello!”);}}

becomes easier to read:

function greet(name) {
if(name) {
console.log(“Hello, “+name);
}
else {
console.log(“Hello!”);
}
}

The underlying code remains recognizable while its indentation and layout become much easier to inspect.

Why Format JavaScript?

JavaScript is often compressed into a small amount of space when it is copied from a source, generated automatically, or written quickly. Although the code may still work, reading nested functions, conditions, loops, and objects can become difficult.

Formatting adds visual structure so you can follow different code blocks more easily. This can be useful when reviewing code, debugging a snippet, studying JavaScript, or preparing code for editing.

For plain-text cleanup rather than source-code formatting, try Strip Markdown to remove common Markdown syntax from text.

Format JavaScript Without Changing Strings

The JavaScript Formatter is designed to improve indentation and code layout without modifying the contents of strings or template literals. This is important when your JavaScript contains text values where spaces, punctuation, or other characters need to remain intact.

You should still review formatted code before using it in a production project, especially when working with complex or unusual JavaScript syntax.
