Is JSLint available for offline use?

Question

I\'d like to use JSLint, but I am wary of tools that have access to my unfiltered source code. Is there an offline version or is there another similar tool that does \"

Answer 1

It's pretty easy to recreate what Crockford has on JSLint.com. JSLint.com's online version of the .js is a minified conglomeration of a few files that includes some overhead I don't quite understand, like that ADSAFE stuff. Let's strip it down to a simplest case wrapper instead.

Building your own HTML wrapper for JSLint:

Here's the code to a web page that'll look for jslint.js (the latest version of JSLint can currently be found in github here as raw text) in the same directory and fire away in a similar fashion as JSLint.com does now.

    
        

        

    

    

        

            
            

            JSLint

It's up to the proverbial reader to make the GUI more gooey, but this reports as well as the JSLint site does now.
