+# format
+
+> Format an array of reference tokens into a [JSON Pointer][json-pointer] ([RFC 6901][rfc-6901]) string.
+
+
+
+## Usage
+
+```javascript
+var format = require( '@stdlib/utils/json-pointer/format' );
+```
+
+#### format( tokens )
+
+Formats an array of reference tokens into a [JSON Pointer][json-pointer] string.
+
+```javascript
+var ptr = format( [ 'foo', 'bar' ] );
+// returns '/foo/bar'
+
+ptr = format( [ 'a/b', 'c~d' ] );
+// returns '/a~1b/c~0d'
+
+ptr = format( [] );
+// returns ''
+```
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+## Notes
+
+- Per [RFC 6901][rfc-6901], an empty array refers to the root of the document and returns an empty string `''`.
+- Escape sequences are encoded sequentially: `~` is escaped to `~0` before `/` is escaped to `~1`.
+- This function is the inverse of [`@stdlib/utils/json-pointer/parse`][@stdlib/utils/json-pointer/parse].
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+## Examples
+
+```javascript
+var format = require( '@stdlib/utils/json-pointer/format' );
+
+var ptr = format( [ 'foo', 'bar' ] );
+// returns '/foo/bar'
+
+ptr = format( [ 'foo', '0' ] );
+// returns '/foo/0'
+
+ptr = format( [ 'a/b', 'c~d' ] );
+// returns '/a~1b/c~0d'
+
+ptr = format( [ '~1' ] );
+// returns '/~01'
+
+ptr = format( [ '' ] );
+// returns '/'
+
+ptr = format( [] );
+// returns ''
+```
+
+
+
