What DocuFormat does

Deterministic tools

• Automatic format detection. Paste anything; DocuFormat identifies JSON, YAML, XML, CSV, SQL, cURL or Shell, or you can pick the language yourself.
• Format. Consistent indentation and layout for every supported format.
• Minify. Available for JSON, XML, SQL and cURL.
• Single Line ⇄ Multi Line for shell commands. Turn a long Bash command into readable lines with continuations, or collapse it back to one line for the terminal. See the shell command formatter.
• Validate. Live checks as you type, with errors highlighted by line and column.
• Table view. CSV shown as a table, with the detected delimiter and uneven rows flagged.
• Request view. cURL broken into method, URL, query parameters, headers, authentication, cookies and body.
• SQL dialects. Generic, PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server, Oracle and SQLite.
• Copy, download, swap and reset. Move output back into the input to keep iterating.
• Samples and shortcuts. Load a sample for each format; ⌘/Ctrl+Enter formats and ⌘/Ctrl+Shift+Enter validates.

AI-assisted tools

• AI Fix. Proposes a corrected version of malformed input, with an explanation and a list of problems found. The suggestion is re-validated locally and is not applied until you accept it.
• Explain. Describes what is wrong with invalid input, what a SQL query does, or what request a cURL command would send, and can describe what changed after a fix.

Both run only when you click them, after a first-time confirmation that your content will go to an AI provider. Read how data is handled.
