In their own words

dprint

dprint is a command-line application that automatically formats code through a configurable, pluggable system built with Rust and WebAssembly. Its official and wrapper plugins cover languages and formats including TypeScript, JavaScript, JSON, Markdown, TOML, CSS, Dockerfile, C#, Python, Go, Swift, GraphQL, YAML, PHP, LaTeX, R, and Julia. Project configuration files define plugins, formatting settings, included files, and exclusions. Plugins can be loaded from a URL or file path and pinned or versioned in configuration. The project says dprint formats hundreds of files in milliseconds and enables incremental caching by default. WebAssembly plugins run in a sandbox without network or file-system access, while process plugins are executable files and are not sandboxed. Editor integrations are listed for Visual Studio Code, IntelliJ, and Neovim; the language-server command can also be used by other editors. The CLI is distributed as a static binary with no runtime dependencies, with installation options including shell, PowerShell, Cargo, npm, and Homebrew. It is MIT-licensed and free.
