## What it is
xcbeautify is a fast, Swift-based formatter that beautifies xcodebuild and Swift Package Manager output with human-friendly colored logs. It supports JUnit report generation and CI renderers for GitHub Actions and TeamCity.

## Use cases
- make xcodebuild output readable in the terminal
- replace xcpretty with a faster alternative
- format swift test output in CI
- generate JUnit test reports from xcodebuild
- surface build warnings and errors in GitHub Actions
- run xcodebuild in CI with proper exit codes

## When to choose
- you build iOS/macOS apps with xcodebuild and want clean, colored logs
- you need a fast, dependency-free (non-Ruby) xcpretty replacement
- you want JUnit reports or GitHub Actions/TeamCity annotations from build output

## When to avoid
- you don't use Xcode or Swift tooling
- you need a GUI or IDE-integrated build log viewer
- your CI runs on platforms other than macOS or Linux

## Facets
