Code Formatter

The Code Formatter provides language-aware formatting to produce clean, readable code that adheres to team or project style guides. It accepts raw source code, the target language, and optional style rules, then outputs a consistently formatted version and a change diff. This enables teams to maintain uniform aesthetics across repositories and reduces review friction.

Conceptually, the tool analyzes code using language grammars to produce tokens or an abstract syntax form, then applies a printer that enforces spacing, indentation, and wrap decisions without altering semantics. Comments and docstrings are preserved and aligned with surrounding code. Long expressions are wrapped at configurable breakpoints while preserving readability and syntactic correctness.

Benefits include faster onboarding for new teammates, reliable diffs for pull requests, and reproducible formatting across editors and CI environments. It supports multi-language projects and accepts presets or custom rule sets so teams can encode their preferred style. Typical use cases are pre-commit formatting, CI checks, and editor integrations.

Unique value lies in language-specific formatting that remains deterministic under repeated runs, supports batch processing, and emits structured diffs for review. Core features include explicit language input, style presets, idempotent formatting, and batch options. Use cases range from small scripts to large codebases requiring consistent formatting discipline.
