      But if those numbers are between quote it means that it is string.

      723456 and “723456” is not same.

      See if this will help you to determine if it’s number or string.
      $input.toString().match(/^\d+$/) != null ? true : false
      This expression will check if value of input contains only numbers and if it is, then will return true, otherwise if not contains only numbers it will return false.

      To check for string it’s opposite, you need to switch the places of true and false.

      Regards,
      Viktor

    Try checking the “Pretty Print” checkbox in the JSON Formatter. This should put the \n characters in.
