EditorConfig

EditorConfig helps maintain consistent coding styles for multiple developers working on the same project across various editors and IDEs. The EditorConfig project consists of a file format for defining coding styles and a collection of text editor plugins that enable editors to read the file format and adhere to defined styles. EditorConfig files are easily readable and work well with version control systems. The format uses an INI-style syntax compatible with the Python configparser library, with filepath glob patterns similar to gitignore.

EditorConfig is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Coding Standards, Configuration, Developer Tools, File Format, and Formatting.

EditorConfig’s developer surface includes engineering blog, documentation, and 13 more developer resources.
