Where it wins
- Supports programming, markup, data, and documentation formats
- Formats only changed files and respects inclusion and ignore rules
- Works through CLI, editor integrations, and JavaScript or Deno APIs
Where it doesn't
- Plugin-based workflows add configuration and plugin-management overhead
- Teams must define formatting rules through configuration files
- Its broad scope may exceed the needs of single-language projects
Our verdict on dprint
dprint is an open-source command-line formatting platform for developers and teams maintaining repositories with multiple languages. Its plugin architecture uses WebAssembly and process plugins to support formats including TypeScript, JavaScript, JSX, JSON, Markdown, TOML, CSS, HTML, Python, Go, PHP, YAML, GraphQL, and others. It runs on Windows, macOS, Linux, and WSL, with Node.js and Deno support for programmatic use. The product is best suited to teams that want one configurable formatting workflow across varied codebases rather than a formatter focused on one language.
Language breadth is dprint’s clearest differentiator. The supported formats span source code, markup, configuration, notebooks, technical documents, and language-specific files, while configuration files control formatting rules. File inclusion, exclusion, association, and gitignore handling help teams define repository scope, and incremental formatting of changed files can limit the work performed during routine changes. Visual Studio Code, IntelliJ, Neovim, and the Language Server Protocol connect the formatter to common editing workflows. The CLI also supports formatting, checking, and standard-input formatting, while JavaScript and Deno library APIs allow formatter invocation from code.
The trade-off is operational rather than feature scarcity: a plugin-based, multi-language setup gives teams flexibility but requires decisions about plugins, configuration, file associations, and repository rules. That makes dprint a stronger fit for teams standardizing several languages than for a small project with a single, fixed formatting need. Its open-source pricing model suits organizations that want a tool they can incorporate through command-line, editor, or library workflows. Choose dprint when breadth, changed-file formatting, and integration options matter; consider a narrower formatter when minimal configuration is the priority.
