TSLint is a static analysis tool for TypeScript code that helps enforce consistent coding styles and catch potential errors early in the development process. It provides a wide range of configurable rules to ensure code quality and maintainability, such as enforcing indentation, variable naming conventions, and detecting unused variables.
Compared to alternatives like ESLint, TSLint is specifically designed for TypeScript and offers a more tailored set of rules for TypeScript-specific patterns and best practices. However, TSLint has been deprecated in favor of ESLint for TypeScript linting, and it is recommended to migrate existing projects to ESLint for ongoing support and compatibility.
