What is Biome formatting?

Biome is a tool that keeps code clean and consistent.

In simple words, it:

• Auto-formats code so it looks the same everywhere
• Catches common mistakes early
• Removes the need to manually fix spacing, indentation, and style

Why formatting matters

Without a formatter:

• Everyone writes code differently
• Reviews focus on spaces, not logic
• Small style issues slow teams down

With Biome:

• Code looks the same for everyone
• Reviews focus on real problems
• Teams move faster
