> The cheesy object formatter

Pretty formatting of arbitrary JavaScript values. Currently only supports ascii
formatting, suitable for command-line utilities. Like `JSON.stringify`, it
formats objects recursively, but unlike `JSON.stringify`, it can handle
regular expressions, functions, circular objects and more.

`formatio` is a general-purpose library. It works in browsers (including old
and rowdy ones, like IE6) and Node. It will define itself as an AMD module if
you want it to (i.e. if there's a `define` function available).

## Installation

```shell
npm install @sinonjs/formatio
```
