Overview

I've encountered inconsistencies in the documentation of formatters within the com.microsoft.java.debug.core.adapter.formatter package. This variability makes it difficult to understand and use the formatters effectively, impacting developer productivity and the overall user experience.

Issue Description

The documentation varies significantly between formatter classes. For instance, the IFormatter interface is well-documented, providing clear method descriptions and usage. In contrast, documentation for the ArrayObjectFormatter lacks similar detail, making it harder to understand its intended use.

Suggested Improvement

To address this issue, I propose a comprehensive update to the documentation for all formatter classes within the package. The goal is to achieve:

  • Consistency: Ensuring each formatter class follows a similar documentation structure.
  • Clarity: Clearly describing the purpose, usage, and parameters for each formatter.
  • Completeness: Including all necessary details that a developer would need to understand and implement the formatter correctly.

Expected Benefits

Improving the documentation would greatly benefit developers by:

Reducing the learning curve for new users of the library.
Facilitating quicker and more accurate implementation of formatters.
Enhancing the overall developer experience by providing clear, accessible information.

Conclusion

Consistent and detailed documentation is crucial for leveraging the full capabilities of any library. I believe that by standardizing the documentation for the formatters in the com.microsoft.java.debug.core.adapter.formatter package, we can significantly improve the library's usability and contribute to its success.

Thank you for considering this enhancement.
