Fetch Formatter

Fetch Formatter converts raw API responses into a structured, readable representation without altering data. It supports JSON, XML, HTML, and plain text inputs and applies consistent indentation, key sorting, and optional depth limits to keep outputs concise. Conceptually, the tool parses the input, normalizes nested structures, and renders a deterministic, human-friendly view that developers can compare across environments. Beneficiaries include frontend engineers, backend developers, QA analysts, and technical writers who document contracts. Unique value arises from deterministic formatting, support for multiple content types, and configurable depth and line-length controls. Core features include: input normalization, content-type detection, pretty vs compact formatting, optional key sorting, and export options. Use cases include debugging fetch responses, validating mocks, and generating documentation snippets. Outputs are well-formed text blocks or machine-readable payloads suitable for logging, diffing, or paste-into-issue trackers. The tool emphasizes correctness, reproducibility, and speed, avoiding any data mutation. It is designed for environments where API responses vary by environment, and developers need consistent visuals for comparison. Advanced users can apply custom wrap lengths, suppress redundant whitespace, and generate compact JSON for logs. The tool does not perform network requests or data transformation beyond formatting, and it relies on the provided input only. It supports localization-friendly formatting rules for JSON and XML and adheres to common industry formats for API payloads. Assumptions include well-formed inputs and explicit content-type hints; exclusions are any UI rendering or persistence features.
