Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between beautify and minify?
Beautify adds indentation and line breaks for readability, while minify removes whitespace to produce the smallest possible single-line output.
Why do I get a validation error?
Common causes are trailing commas, single quotes instead of double quotes, or missing brackets. The error message points to the problem.
