Frequently Asked Questions

What is a stack trace?

A stack trace shows the sequence of function calls that occurred before an error or exception happened.

Does this tool execute my code?

No. The formatter only analyzes the text you paste into the browser. It does not execute the code represented by the stack trace.

Can I format Node.js stack traces?

Yes. Common Node.js and JavaScript stack frame formats such as file.js:line:column are supported.

Can I format Python tracebacks?

Yes. Python File, line, and function information can be extracted from standard traceback output.
