Universal File Formatter

Real-world files do not always come in the format you expect. A developer might receive a config blob and not know whether it is JSON, YAML, TOML, or XML until they squint at it. This tool auto-detects the format of any text payload and pretty-prints it consistently, falling back to plain-text formatting (consistent indentation and line endings) if it cannot identify the structure.

The formatter works entirely in the browser and supports JSON, YAML, XML, TOML, INI, and a handful of other small data formats. It is intended as a "do something useful with this text" first stop before deciding which more specific tool to reach for.

1. Paste the text into the input.
2. The detected format appears in the corner. Override it manually if the auto-detection misfires.
3. Read the formatted output. Errors include the line where parsing failed.
4. Copy the result, or click "Open in specialised tool" to switch to the dedicated JSON/YAML/SQL formatter.

• Identifying mystery configuration blobs from log lines.
• Pretty-printing exports from legacy systems that emit XML or INI.
• Combining multiple format-specific cleanups into a single pasteboard.
