Professional JavaScript code formatting tool for developers, code reviewers, and DevOps teams. Transform minified or poorly formatted code into clean, readable JavaScript with intelligent indentation, proper spacing, and consistent styling.
Intelligent code parsing with AST-based formatting
Customizable indentation styles (spaces, tabs, mixed)
ES6+/TypeScript syntax support with JSX compatibility
Automatic code structure analysis and optimization
Configurable formatting rules and coding standards
Batch processing for entire codebases and projects
Practical Examples
Minified Library Debugging
Transform minified JavaScript into readable code for debugging

React Component Formatting
Format React components with proper JSX indentation and structure
