🔍 What Is a JSON Beautifier?

A JSON Beautifier (also called a JSON formatter or pretty printer) takes minified, compressed, or poorly indented JSON and rewrites it with consistent indentation and line breaks so the structure becomes readable. JSON is the universal data format for APIs, configuration files, and modern web apps.
