Pascal case means you write identifiers so each word starts with a capital letter and there are no separators. Think of names like MyClass
UserName
and GetValue
. This is the style you will see for classes types and exported symbols in many languages including C# Java and Go.
So you can use XmlParser
or XMLParser
depending on the style guide your team agreed on. Either option is fine as long as the whole repo is not trapped in existential conflict about it.
The main difference is the first letter. Pascal case starts with an uppercase letter while camel case starts with a lowercase letter. So prefer Pascal case for types classes and public API names. Use camel case for local variables private fields and other internal identifiers when your style guide asks for that.
Pick Pascal case when readability matters and when the language or framework expects it. In C# public types properties and methods are usually Pascal case. In libraries and public APIs predictable naming reduces friction for users and avoids reviewers wasting time on wardrobe choices for symbols.
Do not rely on human willpower during code review. Use linters code analyzers and editor settings to enforce naming conventions automatically. Modern editors will flag violations and refactor tools will rename symbols safely so you do not have to manually hunt down every usage like a medieval scribe.
Pascal case is boring and useful. Embrace it for the things that are meant to be read by other humans and leave the cowboy naming for quick throwaway scripts that will be deleted anyway.
