Pick the lightest tool that solves the immediate step in your workflow. If your input is unstructured, begin with formatting. If it is already structured, validate first and then transform.

Start with formatting

If your Online Compiler data is messy or minified, format it first so you can read and understand the structure.

Validate next

Once formatted, validate to catch syntax errors, schema violations, or data integrity issues before proceeding.

Then convert or transform

With clean, valid input, convert between formats or apply the specific transformation your workflow requires.
