Frequently Asked Questions

Will beautifying my JavaScript change how it executes?

No, beautifying only alters the whitespace, indentation, and formatting of the code. The underlying logic, variable names, and execution order remain completely unchanged.

Can this tool decode heavily obfuscated JavaScript?

The beautifier will correctly indent and format obfuscated code, making the structure visible. However, it will not rename mangled variables (e.g., changing 'a' back to 'userData') or decrypt encoded strings.

Does the beautifier support modern ES6+ syntax?

Yes, it fully supports modern ECMAScript features including arrow functions, classes, async/await, and template literals.

Can I use this tool to format JSON files?

Yes, because JSON is a subset of JavaScript object syntax, the beautifier will perfectly format raw or minified JSON strings into a readable structure.

Is it safe to paste code containing API keys into this tool?

Yes. The tool processes everything locally in your browser. Your code, including any sensitive keys or tokens, is never sent over the network to any server.
