JSLint vs Snyk: What are the differences?
Developers describe JSLint 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. On the other hand, Snyk is detailed as "Fix vulnerabilities in Node & npm dependencies with a click". Fix vulnerabilities in Node & npm dependencies with a click.
JSLint and Snyk are primarily classified as "Code Review" and "Dependency Monitoring" tools respectively.
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.
I'm beginning to research the right way to better integrate how we achieve SCA / shift-left / SecureDevOps / secure software supply chain. If you use or have evaluated WhiteSource, Snyk, Sonatype Nexus, SonarQube or similar, I would very much appreciate your perspective on strengths and weaknesses and how you selected your ultimate solution. I want to integrate with GitLab CI.
I'd recommend Snyk since it provides an IDE extension for Developers, SAST, auto PR security fixes, container, IaC and includes open source scanning as well. I like their scoring method as well for better prioritization. I was able to remove most of the containers and cli tools I had in my pipelines since Snyk covers secrets, vulns, security and some code cleaning. SAST has false positives but the scoring helps. Also had to spend time putting some training docs but their engineers helped out with content.
