Pangu.js is a JavaScript/TypeScript library that automatically inserts spacing between CJK characters and half-width English letters, numbers, and symbols ('paranoid text spacing'). It ships as an npm package with a DOM-aware browser build and a Chrome extension.

Use cases

• add spaces between Chinese and English text automatically
• format mixed CJK and Latin typography on web pages
• clean up text with no space between Chinese and numbers
• auto-space page content via a Chrome extension
• normalize spacing in user-generated Chinese content

When to choose

• you need programmatic CJK/Latin text spacing in Node.js or the browser
• you want a browser extension that auto-spaces any webpage
• you need a battle-tested library with ports in many languages

When to avoid

• you need general-purpose full text formatting or linting beyond spacing
• you work only with pure English or pure CJK text with no mixed content
