| Android Lint |
| ============ |
| |
| Android Lint is a static analysis tool (which despite the name is not |
| limited to Android, and within Google for example is used to analyze |
| Java and Kotlin server side code as well as Android and even desktop |
| software like IDEs.) |
| |
| Lint's focus is on finding bugs (whether they are related to |
| correctness, performance, security, internationalization, usability and |
| so on); it's not a source code style checker. |
