SmartFormat is a lightweight text templating library written in C#.

It can format various data sources into a string with a minimal, intuitive syntax similar to string.Format.

SmartFormat uses extensions to provide named placeholders, localization, pluralization, gender conjugation, and list and time formatting.

Custom source or formatter extensions can be added easily using simple interfaces.

A very simplistic example:

var data = new { Library = "SmartFormat"};
_ = Smart.Format("Composed with {Library}.", data);
// Result: "Composed with SmartFormat."
