+title: Formatting
+description: Use Markdoc.format to prettify documents or generate source content
+---
+
+# {% $markdoc.frontmatter.title %}
+
+Markdoc comes with the ability to take a Markdoc abstract syntax tree (AST) and generate the source content. This is useful for generating Markdoc files from data, or prettifying documents.
+
+## Examples
+
+Take for example you want to generate a Markdoc file from from some JSON:
+
+```json
+// ./data.json
+[
+  [34.0522, -118.2437],
+  [40.7128, -74.0060],
+  [48.8566, 2.3522]
+]
+```
+
+You can call `Markdoc.format` with an AST `Node` to generate the source content:
+
+{% sideBySide %}
+
+```js
+const Markdoc = require('@markdoc/markdoc')
+const DATA = require('./data.json')
+
+const list = new Markdoc.Ast.Node(
+  'list',
+  {ordered: false},
+  DATA.map(point => new Markdoc.Ast.Node(
+    'item',
+    {},
+    [
+      new Markdoc.Ast.Node('inline', {}, [
+        new Markdoc.Ast.Node(
+          'text', 
+          {content: point.join(', ')}, 
+          []
+        )
+      ])
+    ]
+  ))
+)
+
+Markdoc.format(list)
+```
