FAQ

Pretty-print vs beautify?
Pretty-print adds syntax highlighting and optional line numbers — for reading and sharing. Beautify is formatting-only, for source code you'll commit.
Is the output colored copy?
The highlighted view is HTML with inline styles. Copy gives you plain formatted JS (no colors) that works in any JS environment.
Does it handle minified JS?
Yes — first unminifies, then pretty-prints. Useful for debugging issues in production bundles (if your sourcemaps are unavailable).
What about obfuscated JS?
Unminifies the structure but variable names (a, b, c) stay obscured. No way to recover original names without sourcemaps or the original source.
