## What it is
A curated awesome-list of native Xcode Source Editor extensions for Apple's Xcode IDE. It catalogs formatters, boilerplate generators, tutorials, and other plugins that extend Xcode's editing capabilities.

## Use cases
- find xcode extensions to format swift code
- discover plugins to sort imports in xcode
- learn how to build an xcode source editor extension
- find tools to generate codable models from  in xcode
- browse a curated list of xcode plugins
- find an extension to align or sort code lines in xcode

## When to choose
- you develop on macOS with Xcode and want to discover editor extensions
- you want tutorials or examples for building your own Xcode Source Editor Extension
- you need formatters, import sorters, or boilerplate generators integrated into Xcode

## When to avoid
- you use IDEs other than Xcode such as VS Code or IntelliJ
- you need a standalone formatter or linter to run in CI rather than inside the editor
- you need actively maintained recommendations - the list's last release was 2023 and some entries may be outdated
