Standard is a suite of static analysis tools for JavaScript, comprising a linter, formatter, and a predefined style guide. It functions as a static code analyzer that scans source code for style violations and potential errors without executing the program.
The project provides an automatic code fixer that rewrites source code to resolve formatting issues and enforce syntax consistency. It implements a standardized set of rules for JavaScript formatting and syntax to ensure a uniform appearance across different projects.
The system covers a wide range of static analysis capabilities, including the restriction of unsafe programming patterns, the management of semicolon usage, and support for modern ECMAScript syntax. It supports analysis of code embedded in Markdown or HTML files and integrates with version control workflows via git hooks to run style checks during the pre-commit phase.
The toolset includes native IDE integration and a programmatic API for retrieving structured reports on analysis results.
