Question

I have a string which contains Java class as a string.

for e.g.

String class = "class MyClass{\n private int myInt;\n}";

How can I format this into a well indented ‘class string’?

Answer 1

Add a indent for every “{\n” and remove the indent for every “}”. Keep a counter of braces that will start at 0. After first “{“, braces =1. After “}” it becomes 0.
That way you’ll end up with this

class MyClass {\n
<indent>private int myInt;\n
}

Keep the same indent for all new lines.
