Hadolint vs Jib: What are the differences?

What is Hadolint? A Static Analysis Tool for Dockerfiles in Haskell. A smarter Dockerfile linter that helps you build best practice Docker images. The linter is parsing the Dockerfile into an AST and performs rules on top of the AST. It is standing on the shoulders of Shellcheck to lint the Bash code inside RUN instructions.

What is Jib? Containerize your Java application (by Google). Jib builds Docker and OCI images for your Java applications and is available as plugins for Maven and Gradle.

Hadolint and Jib can be primarily classified as "Container" tools.

Hadolint and Jib are both open source tools. It seems that Jib with 7.1K GitHub stars and 606 forks on GitHub has more adoption than Hadolint with 2.28K GitHub stars and 99 GitHub forks.
