❓ Has this been used to create a CSS linter yet?

[dannyfritz]

Just wondering. I was looking around at the packages that depend on css, but nothing was standing out as a linter.

Also curious if anyone has any thoughts on creating a pluggable linter similar to ESLint with this.

I don't think it's really suitable for linting because it's loose on whitespace. You should check out though https://github.com/csscomb/csscomb.js

@dannyfritz if you want to works with whitespaces you can also take PostCSS. But CSSComb can also works with Sass.

I'm actually not concerned with whitespace and more concerned with multiple rule definitions, really high specificity, id's in selectors, multiple properties in the same rule, etc..

Thanks @ai, PostCSS looks good for what I'm looking for.

@dannyfritz if you are just concerned about the rules (not formatting), this parser would probably work fairly well, although you would probably have to pair it with a selector parser (such as CSSwhat).
