title: OCamlFormat open-source released

We are pleased to announce the first public release of OCamlFormat.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
OCamlFormat is a tool to automatically format [OCaml](https://ocaml.org/) code.
|
||
|
|
It follows the same basic design as refmt for
|
||
|
|
[Reason](https://reasonml.github.io/) code, but for OCaml. In particular, it
|
||
|
|
works by parsing source code using the OCaml compiler's standard parser,
|
||
|
|
deciding where to place comments in the parsetree, and printing the parsetree
|
||
|
|
and comments in a uniform style.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
At Facebook, we currently use this for the OCaml code of
|
||
|
|
[Infer](https://github.com/facebook/infer) to enable developers to stop thinking
|
||
|
|
about line breaking, indentation, parenthesization, etc., to minimize stylistic
|
||
|
|
nit-picking during code review, and to make it as visually obvious as possible
|
||
|
|
when the parser's interpretation of code does not match the programmer's. We use
|
||
|
|
this both with integration with editors as well as a pre-commit hook.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Development is taking place on
|
||
|
|
[github](http://github.com/ocaml-ppx/ocamlformat). License is MIT.
