Features

Paste one line unstructured stacktrace exception and get fully formatted output (see Demo section).

  • Clear

Clears the input and output boxes.

  • Copy to clipboard

The user can edit the settings and enable or disable the copy to clipboard setting. By default exceptionBeutifier has copy to clipboard set to enabled. This means that the exception will be copied once we paste it into the input box.

  • Dark theme

Users can choose whether they like to use the bright or dark theme. By default exceptionBeutifier has copy to clipboard set to disabled. In order to enable dark mode the user should toggle the toggle to enabled state and save the changes.

Note: Changes won't apply if the user doesn't save before closing the settings.
