GraphQL formatter

About this tool

Paste a GraphQL query, mutation, subscription, fragment, or SDL schema and get a validated, consistently formatted document back. The formatter parses the GraphQL grammar before printing, so syntax errors include a line and column instead of silently rearranging invalid text.

Use the indent selector for two spaces, four spaces, eight spaces, or tabs. Choose minify when you need a compact payload for examples or tests, enable sort fields for stable diffs, and enable remove comments when you want formatted output without # notes.

Worked example:

Input:

query Hero($episode: Episode = JEDI) { hero(episode: $episode) { name friends { name } } }

Output with the default settings:

query Hero($episode: Episode = JEDI) {
  hero(episode: $episode) {
    name
    friends {
      name
    }
  }
}

Limits and edge cases: input is capped at about 500 KB, nesting is capped at 64 levels, minify mode always removes comments, and the parser focuses on standard GraphQL executable documents and SDL definitions rather than vendor-specific non-GraphQL template wrappers.
