+# General Formatting
+
+Provides methods for applying placeholder format and type independent value formatting using the locale specific settings.
+
+## Placeholder formatting
+
+The `format` method can be used to replace the format string placeholders(`{index}`) with the provided values based on the index.
+A specific format can also be specified for `Date` and `Number` values by adding `:format` after the index.
+
+    import { format } from '@telerik/kendo-intl';
+
+    format('Date: {0:d} - Price: {1:c}', [new Date(), 10.5], "en"); // Date: 1/5/2017 - Price: $10.50
+
+## Type independent formatting
+
+The `toString` method can be used to format both `Date` and `Number` values using the locale specific settings. If a string is passed as value then it will be returned without modification.
+
+    import { toString } from '@telerik/kendo-intl';
+
+    toString(new Date(), "d", "en"); // 1/5/2017
+
+    toString(10.5, "c", "bg"); // 10,50 лв.
