Shapes raw data
A formatter is something that formats—arranges data or text into a specified structure.
In computing, a formatter converts code or documents to follow style conventions: Run the formatter before committing your changes.
Disk formatters prepare storage media for use.
The term applies to both software tools and people who format documents professionally.
