A client-side JavaScript formatter and minifier. Beautify mode adds proper indentation based on braces, brackets, and semicolons. Minify mode strips all comments and unnecessary whitespace. Shows input/output sizes and savings percentage.
Why Use This JS Formatter?
- Two modes — Format for debugging or Minify for production.
- String-aware — preserves content inside quotes and template literals.
- Comment handling — format preserves comments, minify strips them.
- Size savings — shows exact character count reduction.
Key Features
- Brace-Based Indentation: Tracks
{,[,(nesting with 2-space tabs. - String Safety: Detects
",', and backtick strings to avoid false reformatting. - Comment Types: Handles both
//line comments and/* */block comments. - One-Click Copy: Copy the formatted or minified result to clipboard.
How it Works
The formatter walks the code character by character, tracking string state (single/double/template quotes). Opening braces increase indent, closing braces decrease it. Semicolons and commas trigger line breaks. The minifier uses regex to strip both comment styles and collapse whitespace.
