Code Climate vs JSLint: What are the differences?

Developers describe Code Climate as "Automated Ruby Code Review". After each Git push, Code Climate analyzes your code for complexity, duplication, and common smells to determine changes in quality and surface technical debt hotspots. On the other hand, JSLint is detailed as "A Code Quality Tool for Javascript". It is a static code analysis tool used in software development for checking if JavaScript source code complies with coding rules. It is provided primarily as a browser-based web application accessible through their domain, but there are also command-line adaptations.

Code Climate and JSLint can be categorized as "Code Review" tools.

JSLint is an open source tool with 3.3K GitHub stars and 436 GitHub forks. Here's a link to JSLint's open source repository on GitHub.
