GraphQL Formatter

Our GraphQL formatter transforms messy, unformatted GraphQL code into clean, structured queries with just one click. The tool intelligently analyzes your GraphQL syntax, organizing fields, arguments, and operations with proper indentation and spacing according to best practices. It handles complex nested queries, fragments, variables, directives, and mutations with precision. Whether you're building APIs, debugging queries, or sharing code with your team, our formatter ensures your GraphQL is consistently formatted and highly readable. Simply paste your unformatted GraphQL code into the text area, click the "Format GraphQL" button, and instantly get beautifully structured code that you can copy and use in your projects.

GraphQL is a query language for APIs and a runtime for executing those queries with your existing data. It provides a more efficient, powerful, and flexible alternative to the traditional REST API. With GraphQL, clients can request exactly the data they need, and nothing more, making it easier to evolve APIs over time without versioning.

To minify your GraphQL code, you can use our GraphQL Minifier tool. Paste your formatted or unformatted GraphQL code into the editor and click the "Minify GraphQL" button. The tool will remove unnecessary whitespace, line breaks, and comments, resulting in a compact version of your GraphQL code that is optimized for performance.

To make your GraphQL more readable (beautify), you can use our GraphQL Formatter tool. Paste your minified or unformatted GraphQL code into the editor and click the "Format GraphQL" button. The tool will apply proper indentation, spacing, and line breaks to enhance readability.

Formatting your GraphQL code improves readability, makes it easier to debug, and helps teams maintain consistent code style. Well-formatted code is also easier to review and share with others. If your project also involves JSON responses or JavaScript, check out the JSON formatter and JavaScript formatter.

Yes, our formatter is designed to handle large and deeply nested GraphQL queries, including those with fragments, variables, and multiple operations.

No, all formatting is done locally in your browser. Your code is never uploaded or stored on any server, ensuring your privacy and security.

Yes, our GraphQL Formatter is fully responsive and works on all modern smartphones and tablets, so you can format your queries on the go.

The tool supports formatting for all GraphQL operations, including queries, mutations, and subscriptions, as well as fragments and inline fragments.

You can visit the official GraphQL documentation or check out tutorials and guides on our website for more information about GraphQL syntax and best practices.

This formatter applies the formatting conventions defined by Prettier's GraphQL plugin and the GraphQL Foundation's style recommendations:

• Each field selection on its own line
• Arguments to fields and directives formatted inline when they fit on one line; broken to multiple lines with consistent indentation when they do not
• Fragments placed after the primary operation
• Variable definitions formatted with one variable per line for readability
• Consistent 2-space or tab indentation (configurable above)
• Comments preserved by default

For consistent GraphQL formatting across a team, consider adding an automated formatter to your project rather than relying on manual use of this tool. Options include:

• Prettier with prettier-plugin-graphql formats .graphql files and GraphQL template literals in JavaScript/TypeScript files
• ESLint with eslint-plugin-graphql lints GraphQL queries against a schema for both style and correctness
• GraphQL Config (graphql-config) is a standard configuration file format that most GraphQL tooling reads for schema and document locations

For quick formatting during development or debugging, this online tool is faster than setting up a local formatter.

This tool supports the GraphQL October 2021 specification, which is the current stable release. All syntax introduced in that spec, including the @deprecated directive, repeatable directives, and interface implementations, is handled correctly.

Yes. The formatter handles both query documents (operations and fragments) and SDL (type definitions, interfaces, enums, input types, directives). Paste either type of GraphQL document and the formatter applies consistent indentation and spacing to both.

Minor differences may exist in how arguments are line-wrapped or how inline fragments are spaced. If your team uses Prettier as a standard, use this tool for quick review and Prettier for committed code.
