## Description

pangu.js is a CJK text spacing formatter and mixed-language typography validator. It functions as a JavaScript tool that inserts spaces between Chinese, Japanese, or Korean characters and alphanumeric text to improve readability.

The project provides a browser DOM text processor that injects spacing into HTML elements and a Node.js text formatting tool for processing local files and strings. It includes a typography validator to verify if text adheres to specific spacing rules between CJK characters and half-width symbols.

The tool covers core formatting and mixed language separation while preserving specialized technical terminology. It handles web page typography through dynamic content monitoring and DOM element formatting, as well as local file formatting using synchronous and asynchronous processing.
