A Swift formatter kit providing simple formatting syntax for numbers, currency, addresses, and colors.
Format is a Swift formatter kit that provides a simple and intuitive API for formatting various data types in iOS and macOS applications. It solves the problem of verbose and complex formatting code by offering extensions for numbers, currency, addresses, and colors with built-in locale support.
iOS and macOS developers who need to format numbers, currency, addresses, or colors in their Swift applications, especially those working on internationalized apps requiring locale-aware formatting.
Developers choose Format for its clean, extension-based syntax that reduces boilerplate, its comprehensive support for common formatting tasks, and its seamless integration with Swift's type system and locale handling.

Provides intuitive format extensions on all number types, drastically reducing boilerplate compared to using Foundation's NumberFormatter directly.
Defaults to the user's current locale and allows easy customization with Locale objects, simplifying internationalization for numbers, currency, and distances.
Covers decimal numbers, currency, mass, addresses, ordinal numbers, and hex colors in one package, addressing most everyday formatting needs.
Color formatter defaults to black or white for invalid or empty hex strings, preventing crashes and ensuring UI stability.
The address formatting function relies on CLPlacemark's addressDictionary with deprecated AddressBook keys, causing warnings and potential future breakage.
Does not support formatting for dates or times, common in apps, forcing developers to use separate solutions like DateFormatter.
Address formatting is only available for iOS 9.0+, making it unsuitable for apps that need to support older versions without workarounds.
