JavaScript Linting Tools

General Linting Tools

• ESLint – The most widely used JavaScript linter, highly configurable, and supports custom rules, plugins, and integration with TypeScript.
• JSHint – A simpler alternative to ESLint, focusing on detecting errors but with less flexibility.
• JSLint – Created by Douglas Crockford, the author of JSON, but is opinionated and less flexible than ESLint.

Code Formatting & Style Checkers

• Prettier – An opinionated code formatter that enforces consistent style but doesn’t enforce code quality rules like ESLint.
• StandardJS – A zero-config linter that enforces a specific coding style, built on top of ESLint.

TypeScript-Specific Linters

• TSLint (Deprecated) – Used for TypeScript but has been replaced by ESLint with TypeScript plugins.
• ESLint with @typescript-eslint – The recommended approach for linting TypeScript.

Security & Best Practice Linters

• SonarLint – Helps detect code smells, security vulnerabilities, and bugs.
• Node Security Platform (nsp) (Deprecated) – Used for identifying security vulnerabilities in Node.js applications.
• Snyk – A security-focused tool that checks for known vulnerabilities in dependencies.

Accessibility Linters

• eslint-plugin-jsx-a11y – Ensures accessibility best practices in JSX/React components.

Framework-Specific Linters

• Vue ESLint Plugin (eslint-plugin-vue) – Helps enforce best practices in Vue applications.
• Angular ESLint (@angular-eslint) – The recommended linter for Angular projects.
• React ESLint Plugin (eslint-plugin-react) – Provides linting rules for React projects.
