About This Tool

The tool formats Go source code by applying canonical formatting rules (gofmt). It accepts plain Go source text and returns a formatted version that is consistent with standard Go style. It preserves comments and string literals as much as possible while adjusting whitespace, indent, and line breaks to canonical form.
Core logic: It uses the Go parser and formatting library to validate syntax and produce canonical output. It supports two modes: standard and gofumpt-compatible (advanced). If syntax errors are present, the formatter returns a structured error instead of applying formatting.
Audience and value: Developers, code reviewers, and CI pipelines benefit from reduced diffs, faster reviews, and consistent project style. Use cases include formatting a single snippet pasted into the tool, batch formatting in pre-commit processes, or integrating with an editor workflow to format code on save.
Differentiators and features: Real-time formatting; compatibility with official Go formatting; optional strict mode; partial-file formatting; optional diff output. The tool does not perform linting or semantic changes, and it ensures formatting changes never alter program behavior.

How to Use

  1. Provide the Go source code in the input field.
  2. Optional: select format_mode (standard or gofumpt-compatible).
  3. Trigger formatting to compute the output instantly.
  4. Review the formatted code in the output area.
  5. Copy or replace your source file as needed, using diffs if provided.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find Quick Answers

What languages are supported?
The formatter focuses on Go source code only. It formats according to the standard gofmt rules and does not attempt to format other programming languages or mixed-language files.
What happens if the input has syntax errors?
If the input cannot be parsed as valid Go, the tool returns a structured error with location data and no formatted output. This helps identify the exact lines needing correction before formatting.
Can I use this in CI or pipelines?
Yes. The formatter is stateless and can be integrated into build steps or pre-commit hooks. It outputs formatted code or diffs that can be verified in automated workflows.
Difference between standard and gofumpt modes?
Standard mode follows official gofmt rules. Gofumpt mode applies stricter spacing and import grouping rules for tighter style consistency; choose based on team conventions and project guidelines.
