About:
Clang-format is a standalone tool and library that parses C, C++, Java, JavaScript, Objective-C, and TypeScript code to automatically format it according to a specified style. It enforces consistent code style, making large codebases easier to read and maintain. The tool is highly configurable, supporting LLVM, Google, Chromium, and Mozilla style conventions, or custom rules defined in a .clang-format file.
Key Features:
  • Supports multiple programming languages including C++, Java, and JavaScript
  • Enforces consistent coding style based on configurable rules
  • Can automatically fix formatting issues or just check for compliance
  • Integrates easily with editors like Vim, Emacs, and VS Code
Use Cases:
  • Standardizing code style across a team or open-source project
  • Automating code formatting in CI/CD pipelines to prevent style drift
  • Refactoring legacy codebases to meet modern style guidelines
Alternatives:
  • rustfmt – Rustfmt is the equivalent tool specifically for the Rust programming language.
  • Prettier – Prettier is a popular opinionated code formatter for web development languages like JavaScript and CSS.
