## Notes

Biome formats and lints the source of web projects with one toolchain, used from the command line or through a language server. It is installed into a project as a development dependency, and the [getting-started guide](https://biomejs.dev/guides/getting-started/) covers the setup.

## Worth knowing

The license is stated two ways: Apache-2.0 for the repository, and MIT or Apache-2.0 for the npm package.
