Making structured text easier to inspect and reuse
Structured text becomes hard to work with when indentation, separators, quoting, or field order is inconsistent. These tools help format and reshape text used in data workflows, making it easier to inspect before it is pasted into another application. They are useful for quick JSON-like data, delimited values, key-value blocks, tables, and other text that sits between a spreadsheet and code.
Formatting improves readability, but it does not guarantee the data is correct. A neatly indented object can still contain the wrong type, missing field, or invalid value. When the output will feed another system, test it with a small sample and validate it against the schema or import rules used by that system.
