Open Source C# Code Formatters

SmartFormat is a is a lightweight text templating library written in C# which can be a drop-in replacement for string.Format. More than that SmartFormat can format data with named placeholders, lists, localization, pluralization and other smart extensions. High performance with low memory footprint. Minimal, intuitive syntax. Formatting takes place exclusively at runtime. Exact control of whitespace text output. string.Format compatibility mode and SmartFormat enhanced mode. Most common data sources work out-of-the-box. Many built-in formatting extensions. Custom formatting and source extensions are easy to integrate.

CSharpier is an opinionated code formatter for c#. It uses Roslyn to parse your code and re-prints it using its own rules. The printing process was ported from prettier but has evolved over time. CSharpier can also format on save in your editor or as a pre-commit hook. Then you can ensure code was formatted with a CI/CD tool.

Capellini is a C++ code formatter. Your spaghetti code is going to become charming!

Ceras is a binary serializer. It converts any object into a byte[] and back. It goes above and beyond in terms of features, speed, and comfort. Supports reference loops, large/complicated inheritance chains, splitting objects into parts. Ceras generally ranks at the top end of the performance spectrum, together with NetSerializer and MessagePack-CSharp. To get an idea of how Ceras performs here are the preliminary benchmark results. The resulting binary size is about the same as MessagePack-CSharp. Don't forget to tune the settings in SerializerConfig for your specific situation. Using Ceras to read/write network packets might require different settings than, lets say, saving a settings-object to a file, or persisting items/spells/monsters in a game.

PSScriptAnalyzer is a static code checker for PowerShell modules and scripts. PSScriptAnalyzer checks the quality of PowerShell code by running a set of rules. The rules are based on PowerShell best practices identified by PowerShell Team and the community. It generates DiagnosticResults (errors and warnings) to inform users about potential code defects and suggests possible solutions for improvements.
