strip-ansi is a crucial utility for developers dealing with console output or text that might contain ANSI escape codes. These codes are used for styling text with colors, bolding, and more, but they can be problematic when displaying output in environments that don't support them. strip-ansi efficiently removes these ANSI escape sequences from a string, ensuring clean, unformatted text that renders correctly across diverse platforms and applications. It's a simple yet powerful tool for text sanitization.
