6 years ago Hi Adam,
Any progress on this - the beautifier does not work for JavaScript, HTML, XML etc. If you paste in data and click beautify it never never does the job you would expect. The old beautifier from ages back did.
I am not sure what the logic is in this new one but it does not work.
It is a real shame as I used the beautify feature loads, in fact it was why I chose ShiftEdit in the first place. Now I am continually going to other sites to beautify the code to paste back in to ShiftEdit which is to be honest a waste of time.
Please please look at this again and use some industry standard system. I have given examples in this ticket already but you can try some XML, HTML etc. Just remove any newlines, paste it into ShiftEdit and try the beautify, it does very little to the code. Then use some online beautifier and see the difference.
Cheers
Warren

Hi,
I know I keep going on about this but the beautifier really does not work well. As an example take:
{ "id": "324234", "object": "customer", "account_balance": 0, "created": 1529393906, "currency": null, "default_source": "234", "delinquent": false, "description": "Customer", "discount": null, "email": null, "invoice_prefix": "9723076", "livemode": false, "metadata": {}, "shipping": null, "sources": { "object": "list", "data": [ { "id": "234234", "object": "card", "address_city": "Helsinki", "address_country": "Finland", "address_line1": "Address 1", "address_line1_check": "pass", "address_line2": "", "address_state": null, "address_zip": "11111", "address_zip_check": "pass", "brand": "Visa", "country": "US", "customer": "234234", "cvc_check": "pass", "dynamic_last4": null, "exp_month": 1, "exp_year": 2020, "fingerprint": "234234", "funding": "credit", "last4": "4242", "metadata": {}, "name": "Warren Sherliker", "tokenization_method": null } ], "has_more": false, "total_count": 1, "url": "..." }, "subscriptions": { "object": "list", "data": [], "has_more": false, "total_count": 0, "url": "..." } }Which when you run through jsbeautifier.org gives you (note Github remove the tabs but the are in the below and it looks like proper formatted JavaScript): { "id": "324234", "object": "customer", "account_balance": 0, "created": 1529393906, "currency": null, "default_source": "234", "delinquent": false, "description": "Customer", "discount": null, "email": null, "invoice_prefix": "9723076", "livemode": false, "metadata": {}, "shipping": null, "sources": { "object": "list", "data": [{ "id": "234234", "object": "card", "address_city": "Helsinki",...
But when you put through Shiftedit beautifier gives you (which also has tabs in it but looks very poor): { "id": "324234", "object": "customer", "account_balance": 0, "created": 1529393906, "currency": null, "default_source": "234", "delinquent": false, "description": "Customer", "discount": null, "email": null, "invoice_prefix": "9723076", "livemode": false, "metadata": {}, "shipping": null, "sources": { "object": "list", "data": [ { "id": "234234", "object": "card", "address_city": "Helsinki", "address_country": "Finland",...
This is really not very good... the old beautifier worked fine BTW as I keep saying. In fact that was why we first started using ShiftEdit as it had a decent beautifier built in. Now I have to keep using external services like jsbeautifier.org and it is a big pain.
