A Node.js library that renders error objects and stack traces as clean, colorized, readable output with less clutter. It supports theming via CSS-like style rules and can be started globally to format all uncaught errors.

Use cases

• pretty-print node.js errors in the terminal
• make stack traces easier to read while debugging
• render caught exceptions with colors
• customize how errors look with css-like themes
• globally format all uncaught errors in a node app

When to choose

• you want readable, colorized error output in Node.js CLI tools or servers
• you need customizable error rendering with themes
• you want a one-line drop-in to improve all error output

When to avoid

• you are not working in Node.js
• you need structured/machine-readable error reporting rather than human-readable output
• you need error tracking or aggregation across services
