Linting in Software Development

Tags: [#Linting, #CodeQuality, #SoftwareDevelopment]

Linting refers to the process of running a program that analyzes source code for potential errors, bugs, or stylistic inconsistencies. Linters are tools that help improve code quality and maintainability by enforcing coding standards and highlighting issues before the code gets executed or deployed. They are often integrated into development environments and continuous integration pipelines to automate the process. Linting is applicable to multiple programming languages and frameworks, including JavaScript, Python, and C++, among others.
