Beautifying applies indentation and line breaks while preserving the original tokens as closely as possible. That is the difference from the JSON Formatter, which re-serialises through a parser and normalises escapes and number formatting along the way.
Reach for this when you want to read a file without altering anything you did not intend to — reviewing a config you are about to commit, or inspecting a payload whose exact byte representation matters. When you want canonical output to diff or store, the formatter is the better choice.
