before you act
What to check first
- Paste one log line, not secrets.
- Format it locally in the browser.
- Remove tokens before sharing the result.
developer utility
Format a single JSON log line locally in the browser so it is easier to read before filing a bug report.

before you act
plain answer
This page is for the small moment before a bigger workflow: opening a file, checking a measurement, importing data, ordering material, or explaining a problem to someone else. It keeps the first decision simple and gives you numbers or checks you can copy into the next step.
It does not replace the original software, a professional inspection, or a manufacturer's spec. It is a fast sanity check so you can spot the obvious issue before wasting time.
common mistake
The usual problem is not a lack of effort. It is a mismatch between the label people see and the detail the next tool needs. A file extension can hide export settings. A measurement can use the wrong unit. A calendar or map file can look correct until one field is read in a different order.
Use the tool above as a first pass. If the result looks strange, check the source value before changing the destination app. Many fixes are simple once the original number, unit, version, or timestamp is written down.
result check
Copy the result into a note with the original input values. That gives you a small audit trail when you compare another viewer, spreadsheet, shop drawing, printer setting, or device spec. If two tools disagree, the saved inputs make the disagreement easier to explain.
For json log line pretty print, the safest next step is to test one small example before applying the same setting to a full project. Batch changes are where small assumptions become expensive.

No. The formatter runs in your browser.
The line may contain a prefix, timestamp, or escaped JSON inside a string.
