{fmt}

Fully type-safe with compile-time format string checks, preventing buffer overflows and runtime errors, as demonstrated by examples that error at compile time for invalid specifiers.

Faster than printf, iostreams, and other libraries, with benchmarks showing up to 50% speed improvement over printf and optimized floating-point formatting using the Dragonbox algorithm.

Small compiled binaries comparable to printf, with a minimal configuration of just three header files, reducing binary size and compile time as shown in bloat tests.

Supports user-defined type formatting through specialization, allowing seamless integration with project-specific data structures without hacking printf.

Portable Unicode handling with consistent output across platforms, essential for internationalized applications, and demonstrated in color printing examples.
