How to convert single-line JSON to multi-line?

I'm copy-pasting JSON from a server log into Postman. The JSON in the server log is single-line like this:

{"a": 1, "b": 2}

but I want it to be multi-line like this:

{
  "a": 1,
  "b": 2
}

Is there a way to do this in Postman or elsewhere other than manually?

Postman has a button "Beautify" in the top right corner. Click it to be happy. Postman Beautify demo

I don't know about postman but in VS Code you can format document just " right-click mouse btn in VScode > format document with > JSON Language Feature " although it works only if its fully JSON file not js.

sorry I want to write it in a comment but I don't have many reputations

You can parse the JSON, then stringify it again:

const json = `{"a": 1, "b": 2}`;

const res = JSON.stringify(JSON.parse(json), 0, 2)
console.log(res)
