Linters

A linter is a software tool that analyzes codebase for bugs, errors, and other mistakes that impact its quality and can cause problems. Basically, each Qodana linter is associated with a specific programming language and helps you:

  • Detect anomalous code and probable bugs

  • Eliminate dead code

  • Highlight spelling problems

  • Improve overall code structure

  • Introduce coding best practices

  • Check third-party license compatibility. This feature is available in several linters

  • Upload inspection results to Qodana Cloud

Currently, several linters provide inspections for several programming languages.
