library0.1.4jsnpmunverified

A CLI tool for formatting multiple syntaxes including JavaScript, CSS, JSON, Markdown, Jade/Pug, and Less. Version 0.1.4 is the latest stable release with no recent updates. It wraps several formatters like js-beautify, csscomb, pug-beautify, and prettify-markdown into a single command. Compared to Prettier, it supports more legacy formats but lacks active maintenance.
