In their own words
Biome
Biome is a toolchain for maintaining the health of web projects. It formats JavaScript, TypeScript, JSX, TSX, JSON, HTML, CSS, and GraphQL, and provides lint rules for JavaScript, TypeScript, JSX, CSS, and GraphQL. Linting can report diagnostics and apply safe fixes. Its check command can format files, lint them, and organize imports in one run. Biome is distributed as a standalone executable, so it does not require Node.js. Installation instructions cover npm, pnpm, bun, deno, and yarn. First-party editor extensions are available for VS Code, IntelliJ, and Zed; community extensions include Vim, Neovim, and Sublime Text. The getting-started guide links to CI integrations for GitHub Actions and GitLab CI. Biome describes itself as open source and lists MIT or Apache 2.0 licensing. The open-source toolchain is free. Contributors may offer commercial support, but requests depend on their availability.
