Haxe Formatter

The Haxe Formatter is a language-aware code formatter that standardizes style across Haxe projects. It ingests raw Haxe source and outputs consistently formatted code that adheres to a configurable style guide. Target users include developers, code reviewers, and teams enforcing consistent formatting in repositories and CI pipelines. It is appropriate during code imports, pre-commit checks, and automated code maintenance.

Conceptually, the tool tokenizes and parses Haxe code, preserves comments and string literals, and reflows statements by applying indentation, line breaks, and brace rules. It supports profiles so teams can define their preferred style, while ensuring deterministic outputs for the same input. It operates without executing code, focusing solely on presentation, not semantics.

Core features include indentation control, whitespace normalization, line-length enforcement, and consistent brace placement. Optional features include per-repo style profiles, diff generation, patch exports, and CI-friendly checks. Typical use cases: formatting source files during checkout, validating PRs, and standardizing generated boilerplate.

Unique value: speed, determinism, and safe handling of comments and multi-line strings; supports easy integration into editors and build systems; outputs a formatted version and optional diff to review changes.
