Oxfmt

Oxfmt is a high-performance, Prettier-compatible formatter from the Oxc compiler stack. It targets large codebases and CI environments, with throughput that is substantially higher than Prettier while matching Prettier's JavaScript and TypeScript formatting.

Oxfmt can drop into existing Prettier-based scripts with little change, and it ships built-in sorting for imports, Tailwind CSS classes, and package.json fields that usually require extra Prettier plugins.

We are trialing Oxfmt as a possible successor to Prettier for JavaScript and TypeScript formatting. Prettier remains the current adopt choice until this evaluation is complete.

Use cases​

  • Format JavaScript and TypeScript in local and CI workflows
  • Check formatting without writing files
  • Evaluate a faster, Prettier-compatible alternative in large repositories
  • Prettier — current adopt formatter
  • Oxlint — companion Oxc linter, also in trial
