In their own words
CSharpier
CSharpier is a free, open-source formatter for C# and XML. It parses source files and reprints them using its own formatting rules, with only a few basic options rather than a broad set of style switches. The homepage states support through C# version 14. Configuration can be kept in .csharpierrc JSON or YAML files or in .editorconfig, covering print width, tabs, indentation, and line endings. CSharpier runs as a .NET tool, installed for one project or globally, and CSharpier.Core provides a NuGet API for formatting from code. It can check files and returns a failing exit code by default when formatting is incorrect. Automation options include pre-commit hooks, MSBuild builds, and CI/CD workflows. Integrations are listed for Visual Studio 2022 and 2019, Visual Studio Code, Rider, Neovim, Emacs, and Zed. It runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux. Code that cannot compile produces error diagnostics instead of being formatted.
Scalafmt
Scalafmt is a free Scala code formatter for keeping formatting consistent across a team. It handles Scala 2, Scala 3, sbt files and Scala scripts, with one dialect selected for each file. Formatting options are stored in a plain-text .scalafmt.conf file using HOCON syntax. Since version 3.1.0, the configuration must explicitly specify both the version and runner.dialect. Scalafmt can run from an editor, build tool or terminal. Documented editor integrations include IntelliJ, VS Code, Vim, NeoVim, Emacs, Sublime Text and Eclipse; Metals supports formatting requests from editors. It integrates with sbt and documents integrations for Maven, Gradle and Mill. Command-line check and test modes report misformatted code without writing changes. It also supports ignoring files, changed-lines formatting and a library API. IntelliJ range formatting uses IntelliJ’s own formatter by default: Scalafmt is designed primarily for whole files, and selected ranges may produce undesirable results.
