About This Tool

Purpose & User Intent: A language-aware code formatter that reformats source code across multiple languages to enforce a consistent style, reduce diffs, and improve readability. Target users are developers, code reviewers, and CI engineers who work on shared codebases and need deterministic formatting before commits or pull requests. When there is a requirement to standardize spacing, indentation, quotes, or line length across a project, this tool formats the input accordingly.
Core Logic & Features: Core capability is language-aware parsing and AST-based reprinting. Required features include: language input (explicit or inferred), robust AST construction, preservation of comments and string literals, and configurable formatting (indentation, line length, trailing commas, quote style, semicolon usage). Optional/advanced features include: multiple style presets (e.g., Google, PEP8-like for Python, Spring/Google for Java), custom user configs, minification for supported languages, in/out-of-place formatting, and optional diff output. Outputs include formatted_code and optional diagnostics.
Algorithms & Calculations: The tool parses code into language-specific ASTs, applies formatting rules, and prints back to code while preserving semantics. It enforces line endings and spacing, caps line lengths where feasible, and honors user preferences. If parsing fails for the given language, it may fall back to a safe reformat or return diagnostics without changing semantics.
Error & Edge Cases: Missing required inputs results in errors; unsupported languages raise clear diagnostics; extremely large inputs are chunked; syntax errors are handled gracefully with minimal changes; external data should not be fetched. Industry/Region & Localization: Supports LF/CRLF line endings and locale-appropriate handling of identifiers where applicable; no region-specific code is altered unless part of the language syntax. Assumptions & Exclusions: Assumes input is code in a supported language intended for formatting only; does not lint, compile, or execute code; not a code editor and provides no UI behavior.

How to Use

  1. Provide inputs: select language, paste or upload code, set formatting options.
  2. Choose a style preset or customize options (indent size, line length, quote style, trailing comma rules).
  3. Run formatting to generate formatted_code.
  4. Review the output and optional diff or diagnostics.
  5. Save or export the formatted code to your repository or toolchain.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find Quick Answers

How does it preserve comments and structure?
The formatter builds a language-specific AST and attaches comments to their corresponding syntax nodes. It prints the code from the AST so comments remain in their logical positions, while spacing and line breaks are standardized according to the chosen style.
Can it format multiple languages?
Yes. It supports several common languages via language-specific printers. If a language is not supported, the tool returns a diagnostic and may offer a safe reformat or request language specification.
How does it handle syntax errors?
When syntax errors are present, the formatter performs a best-effort reprint focused on non-semantic tokens and reports diagnostics. It avoids changing semantics and may fallback to preserving original lines where needed.
Can it be integrated into CI pipelines?
Yes. It exposes a programmable API/CLI and can be invoked in CI to enforce formatting on commits or pull requests, producing formatted code and a diff for review.
