# Features
- Simple [format API](https://fmt.dev/latest/api.html) with positional
arguments for localization
- Implementation of [C++20
std::format](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/utility/format) and
[C++23 std::print](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/io/print)
- [Format string syntax](https://fmt.dev/latest/syntax.html) similar
to Python\'s
[format](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#str.format)
- Fast IEEE 754 floating-point formatter with correct rounding,
shortness and round-trip guarantees using the
[Dragonbox](https://github.com/jk-jeon/dragonbox) algorithm
- Portable Unicode support
- Safe [printf
implementation](https://fmt.dev/latest/api.html#printf-formatting)
including the POSIX extension for positional arguments
- Extensibility: [support for user-defined
types](https://fmt.dev/latest/api.html#formatting-user-defined-types)
- High performance: faster than common standard library
implementations of `(s)printf`, iostreams, `to_string` and
`to_chars`, see [Speed tests](#speed-tests) and [Converting a
hundred million integers to strings per
second](http://www.zverovich.net/2020/06/13/fast-int-to-string-revisited.html)
- Small code size both in terms of source code with the minimum
configuration consisting of just three files, `core.h`, `format.h`
and `format-inl.h`, and compiled code; see [Compile time and code
bloat](#compile-time-and-code-bloat)
- Reliability: the library has an extensive set of
[tests](https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/tree/master/test) and is
[continuously fuzzed](https://bugs.chromium.org/p/oss-fuzz/issues/list?colspec=ID%20Type%20Component%20Status%20Proj%20Reported%20Owner%20Summary&q=proj%3Dfmt&can=1)
- Safety: the library is fully type-safe, errors in format strings can
be reported at compile time, automatic memory management prevents
buffer overflow errors
- Ease of use: small self-contained code base, no external
dependencies, permissive MIT
[license](https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/blob/master/LICENSE.rst)
- [Portability](https://fmt.dev/latest/index.html#portability) with
consistent output across platforms and support for older compilers
- Clean warning-free codebase even on high warning levels such as
`-Wall -Wextra -pedantic`
- Locale independence by default
- Optional header-only configuration enabled with the
`FMT_HEADER_ONLY` macro

It is also quite big and has a heavy dependency, STLSoft, which might be
too restrictive for using it in some projects.
