👉 Format engineering is the systematic process of designing, implementing, and maintaining the structure and presentation of data within software applications or systems to ensure consistency, efficiency, and usability. It involves defining rules and standards for how data is formatted, including character sets, encoding schemes, and layout designs, to ensure that data is accurately interpreted and displayed across different platforms and devices. This process often includes creating templates, style guides, and validation rules to maintain uniformity and prevent data corruption. By focusing on the format of data, engineers enhance the overall user experience, streamline data integration, and facilitate easier data management and analysis.
