What is JSON Formatting?

JSON formatting, also known as JSON beautifying or pretty printing, transforms compressed or minified JSON data into a human-readable format with proper indentation, line breaks, and spacing. This makes JSON data easier to read, debug, and understand for developers working with APIs, configuration files, and data exchange.
