Beautifier.io 

Beautifier.io is a very awesome JavaScript beautifier tool and a Markup language called HTML and it is also good for CSS. Its vision was to create a very simple, easy-to-use JavaScript code beautifier that will make someone's JSON / JSONP code human-readable and SEO friendly. It is supported by All popular IDEs and text editors that we use for developing websites and web apps like VS Code, Sublime, VIM, Microsoft Visual Studio (It is an IDE, and VS code is a text editor), Jupiter, and more, it also provides all the basic features and along with it, Beautifier.io also provides some extra features and the best thing that I like about it is that it is open-source means that you can contribute to them. It is supported by popular browsers like Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Mozilla Firefox, and more, it is also very fast but one thing that I would like to add is that it is user-friendly, easy to use beautifier for JavaScript and it is but its UI is very poor looking and shows that the UI designer doesn't work on it properly even if they could used bootstrap for the design it could be better, their font is also the default font of the browser because at this time it is very much important for every company that their website's look must be good as it impacts the UX(User Experience), It is must may they will see this post and will try to improve it.

Prettier.io

In one of our posts where I have discussed the top 10 extensions for VS Code that you should use I have included Prettier and also discussed it if you are interested in it then you can visit that post. But now let's talk about it in brief that I have also discussed there Prettier is additionally a really useful VS Code extension like auto rename tag. It's an opinionated code formatter that formats your code and keeps your code style consistent bypassing your code and reprinting your code takes your code length to the utmost length of the account and wraps your code etc, making your code both readable and delightful. it's completely free, installed by 19,000,000 developers and as of now, it's rated 3.5 stars out of 5 by 318 reviews. it's supported by JavaScript, TypeScript, Flow, JSX, JSON, CSS, SCSS, Less, HTML, Vue, Angular Handlebars, Ember, YAML, Markdown, and more.

Codebeautify.org

It is a very good website that provides different tools like JSON and JavaScript beautifier, SEO inspector which I personally use, and also recommend, and more tools it provides for different types of users. They also provide beautifiers for XML, CSS, and more languages and their JavaScript beautifier supports more different languages like  JavaScript, Java, and XML, and more languages, it is fast, simple, easy to use, and also with a better UI which I personally liked a lot. They provide all the basic features and some extra features. In short, you can also tell the upgraded version of Beautify.io. It is supported by all popular browsers and IDEs and text editors, etc. But it has a con that they have to improve their search functionality on their website otherwise everyone works fine.

Small dev tools JavaScript formatted/beautifier

Small dev tools are also like codebeautify.org like them they also provide a lot of different tools for JavaScript, JSON, and more, but I would have to admit that their UI is much better than any other formatter only instead of Prettier. They also support many different languages and provide tools for them and it is online which means that you don't need an IDE or text editor like Codebeautifier.org it is also free, fast, easy to use, and it supports all major browsers. It provides a simple yet good-looking UI and provides a better User Experience but there is a con that it provides only basic features, it doesn't provide extra features like beautify.io and it is only available online.

  2. Select Indentation with space or tabs. For space, you'll be able to select the number of spaces for indentation. 
  3. Select Warp Lines characters, like wrap after 40/70/80 or more characters.
  4. Select don't wrap to avoid automatic wrapping Click the Format JS button and it'll format the javascript code and show it in output.

FreeFormatter.com


This JavaScript beautifier is also a very popular JavaScript formatter or beautifier for its simplicity. It has a fine UI and comes with some more options.
