An HTML linter that checks for common mistakes and ensures correct Bootstrap markup structure.
Bootlint is an HTML linter specifically designed for Bootstrap projects. It checks webpages for common HTML mistakes and ensures that Bootstrap components are structured correctly according to the framework's requirements. It helps developers maintain proper Bootstrap markup and avoid errors that could break component functionality.
Frontend developers and teams building websites or applications with Bootstrap who want to ensure their HTML markup follows Bootstrap's conventions and avoid common structural errors.
Developers choose Bootlint because it provides Bootstrap-specific linting that generic HTML validators miss, catching framework-specific markup issues early. Its integration with build tools and browser bookmarklet makes it versatile for both development and production environments.

Validates that Bootstrap components have correctly structured HTML, catching framework-specific errors like improper modal DOM or missing glyphicon usage, which generic linters miss.
Runs in Node.js for build pipelines and in the browser via a bookmarklet, allowing linting of static files and dynamic pages after AJAX calls, as highlighted in the browser integration section.
Offers CLI, Grunt, Gulp, and bookmarklet options, making it easy to incorporate into various development workflows, including CI/CD pipelines, as described in the Getting Started guide.
Allows disabling specific lint problem IDs using the --disable option, enabling teams to tailor linting and avoid false positives for project-specific needs.
Last updated in 2015, primarily supports Bootstrap v3 with only a warning for v4, making it ineffective for projects using Bootstrap 4 or 5, as noted in the release history.
Assumes default Bootstrap class names; using Sass/Less mixins to map styles to custom classes can cause incorrect warnings, reducing accuracy for customized projects.
Does not check for basic HTML5 validity, requiring separate tools like vnu.jar for comprehensive linting, as admitted in the Caveats section of the README.
