When you pretty print JSON, the structured output immediately shows you nesting levels, array lengths, and data relationships. Proper JSON indentation makes it easy to spot missing commas, mismatched brackets, or incorrect data types. The formatted view transforms raw data into a visual map — you can see object hierarchies at a glance and quickly locate specific fields. This makes debugging faster and code reviews more efficient.
