# all platforms, tools & comparisons

codefmt is a free code formatter, beautifier, and linter built for automation platforms. It formats and lints JavaScript and Python for Zapier, n8n, Pipedream, Make, and HubSpot Data Hub code actions (plus TypeScript on n8n and Pipedream), and it formats and lints HubL for HubSpot CMS. This page is the full catalog: every supported platform, the tools, and the head-to-head comparisons.

## frequently asked questions

which platforms does codefmt support?

codefmt formats and lints code for Zapier, n8n, Pipedream, Make, and HubSpot Data Hub, plus HubL templates for HubSpot CMS. JavaScript and Python work on all five code-action platforms; TypeScript is supported on n8n and Pipedream. The support matrix above breaks it down per platform.

is codefmt free?

Yes. codefmt is free with no account, no payment, and no limits. It runs in your browser, and the [Chrome and Firefox extensions](/extension) are free too.

does codefmt lint or just format?

Both, on every platform. It lints JavaScript with oxlint, Python with Ruff (500+ rules), and [HubL](/hubl) with an in-house 28-rule linter, the [only dedicated HubL linter](/hubspot-cms-linter).

which languages can codefmt format?

JavaScript, TypeScript, [Python](/python), [HubL](/hubl), and [JSON](/json), depending on the platform. JavaScript uses Biome (Prettier-compatible output), Python uses Ruff (Black-compatible), and HubL uses an in-house formatter.

what does codefmt compare to?

We keep head-to-head pages for [Prettier Playground](/vs-prettier-playground), studionope's [HubL Code Formatter](/vs-hubl-code-formatter), [HubSpot's VS Code extension](/vs-hubspot-vscode), and [Zapier's built-in Formatter](/vs-built-in-zapier-formatter). Each is built for a different job; the comparison explains which one fits yours.
