A `swift-format` configuration file is a JSON file with the following
top-level keys and values:

* `version` _(number)_: The version of the configuration file. For now, this
should always be `1`.

* `lineLength` _(number)_: The maximum allowed length of a line, in
characters.

* `indentation` _(object)_: The kind and amount of whitespace that should be
added when indenting one level. The object value of this property should
have **exactly one of the following properties:**

* `spaces` _(number)_: One level of indentation is the given number of
spaces.
* `tabs` _(number)_: One level of indentation is the given number of
tabs.

* `tabWidth` _(number)_: The number of spaces that should be considered
equivalent to one tab character. This is used during line length
calculations when tabs are used for indentation.

* `maximumBlankLines` _(number)_: The maximum number of consecutive blank
lines that are allowed to be present in a source file. Any number larger
than this will be collapsed down to the maximum.

* `spacesBeforeEndOfLineComments` _(number)_: The number of spaces between
the last token on a non-empty line and a line comment starting with `//`.

* `respectsExistingLineBreaks` _(boolean)_: Indicates whether or not existing
line breaks in the source code should be honored (if they are valid
according to the style guidelines being enforced). If this settings is
`false`, then the formatter will be more "opinionated" by only inserting
line breaks where absolutely necessary and removing any others, effectively
canonicalizing the output.

* `lineBreakBeforeControlFlowKeywords` _(boolean)_: Determines the
line-breaking behavior for control flow keywords that follow a closing
brace, like `else` and `catch`. If true, a line break will be added before
the keyword, forcing it onto its own line. If false (the default), the
keyword will be placed after the closing brace (separated by a space).

* `lineBreakBeforeEachArgument` _(boolean)_: Determines the line-breaking
behavior for generic arguments and function arguments when a declaration is
wrapped onto multiple lines. If true, a line break will be added before each
argument, forcing the entire argument list to be laid out vertically.
If false (the default), arguments will be laid out horizontally first, with
line breaks only being fired when the line length would be exceeded.

* `lineBreakBeforeEachGenericRequirement` _(boolean)_: Determines the
line-breaking behavior for generic requirements when the requirements list
is wrapped onto multiple lines. If true, a line break will be added before each
requirement, forcing the entire requirements list to be laid out vertically. If false
(the default), requirements will be laid out horizontally first, with line breaks
only being fired when the line length would be exceeded.

* `lineBreakBetweenDeclarationAttributes` _(boolean)_: Determines the
line-breaking behavior for adjacent attributes on declarations.
If true, a line break will be added between each attribute, forcing the
attribute list to be laid out vertically. If false (the default),
attributes will be laid out horizontally first, with line breaks only
being fired when the line length would be exceeded.

* `prioritizeKeepingFunctionOutputTogether` _(boolean)_: Determines if
function-like declaration outputs should be prioritized to be together with the
function signature right (closing) parenthesis. If false (the default), function
output (i.e. throws, return type) is not prioritized to be together with the
signature's right parenthesis, and when the line length would be exceeded,
a line break will be fired after the function signature first, indenting the
declaration output one additional level. If true, A line break will be fired
further up in the function's declaration (e.g. generic parameters,
parameters) before breaking on the function's output.

* `indentConditionalCompilationBlocks` _(boolean)_: Determines if
conditional compilation blocks are indented. If this setting is `false` the body
of `#if`, `#elseif`, and `#else` is not indented. Defaults to `true`.

* `lineBreakAroundMultilineExpressionChainComponents` _(boolean)_: Determines whether
line breaks should be forced before and after multiline components of dot-chained
expressions, such as function calls and subscripts chained together through member
access (i.e. "." expressions). When any component is multiline and this option is
true, a line break is forced before the "." of the component and after the component's
closing delimiter (i.e. right paren, right bracket, right brace, etc.).

* `spacesAroundRangeFormationOperators` _(boolean)_: Determines whether whitespace should be forced
before and after the range formation operators `...` and `..<`.

* `multiElementCollectionTrailingCommas` _(boolean)_: Determines whether multi-element collection literals should have trailing commas.
Defaults to `true`.

* `indentBlankLines` _(boolean)_: Determines whether blank lines should be modified
to match the current indentation. When this setting is true, blank lines will be modified
to match the indentation level, adding indentation whether or not there is existing whitespace.
When false (the default), all whitespace in blank lines will be completely removed.
