## What it is
XAML Styler is a Visual Studio extension that formats XAML source code according to configurable styling rules. It helps individuals and teams keep XAML consistent and readable, and also offers script integration for use outside the IDE.

## Use cases
- format xaml files in visual studio
- enforce consistent xaml coding style across a team
- improve readability of messy xaml markup
- auto-format xaml on save in uwp or wpf projects
- run xaml formatting from the command line in ci

## When to choose
- you develop WPF, UWP, Xamarin, or MAUI apps with XAML in Visual Studio or Rider
- your team wants automated, rule-based XAML formatting
- you need XAML formatting integrated into scripts or CI

## When to avoid
- you don't work with XAML-based UI frameworks
- you need a general-purpose formatter for non-XAML languages
