## What it is
A Sublime Text plugin that highlights matching brackets, quotes, and tags such as [], (), {}, and <tag></tag>, with customizable styles and language-specific rules. It also provides plugins for jumping between bracket ends, selecting content, wrapping selections, and swapping brackets or quotes.

## Use cases
- highlight matching brackets in sublime text
- match html tags in editor
- jump between bracket ends
- select content between brackets
- swap quotes with escape handling
- customize bracket highlight style

## When to choose
- you use Sublime Text and want better bracket/tag matching than the built-in highlighter
- you need customizable bracket definitions per language
- you want bracket-related editing helpers like wrap, swap, and fold

## When to avoid
- you use VS Code or another editor with built-in bracket pair colorization
- you need an IDE-independent tool
