  • Keep lines under 120 characters
  • Remove trailing whitespace

DevOps Guidelines

  • Validate Kubernetes manifests before deployment
  • Check CI/CD pipelines for common mistakes
  • Ensure Docker Compose files follow best practices
  • Use consistent naming conventions across files

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about professional YAML linting and code quality

What types of YAML issues and violations can this linter detect?

Our comprehensive YAML linter detects syntax errors (parsing failures, invalid structure), style inconsistencies (mixed indentation, inconsistent naming), code quality issues (Python-style booleans, unnecessary quotes, duplicate keys), formatting problems (trailing spaces, long lines, empty values), and DevOps-specific best practice violations for Kubernetes, Docker Compose, CI/CD pipelines, and infrastructure configurations.

How does the customizable rule engine and severity classification work?

The linter includes 8+ configurable rules that can be individually enabled/disabled and assigned severity levels (Error for critical issues, Warning for best practice violations, Info for style suggestions). You can customize rule settings to match your team's coding standards, adjust severity classifications, and create consistent validation profiles for different project types or environments.

What are the professional use cases and DevOps applications for YAML linting?

Essential for Kubernetes deployment validation (manifests, services, ConfigMaps), Docker Compose multi-container applications, CI/CD pipeline configurations (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins), Ansible playbooks and automation scripts, Helm chart templates and values files, Infrastructure as Code templates (Terraform, CloudFormation), configuration management files, and enterprise-grade DevOps workflows requiring consistent code quality.

How does real-time analysis and error reporting work in the linter?

The linter provides instant feedback as you type or paste YAML content, with live syntax validation, immediate error detection, detailed issue descriptions with line numbers and suggestions, severity-based color coding, actionable improvement recommendations, and comprehensive reporting. Issues are categorized by type and severity with specific suggestions for resolution.

What quality reports and export capabilities are available for team collaboration?

Generate detailed lint reports in JSON format containing issue summaries, severity breakdowns, enabled rule configurations, timestamps, and improvement recommendations. Reports can be exported for code review processes, team sharing, CI/CD integration, documentation purposes, and tracking code quality metrics over time. Perfect for maintaining audit trails and quality standards.

How do I enforce team coding standards and maintain consistency across projects?

Use customizable rule sets to define team-specific standards, configure severity levels to match your quality requirements, create standardized linting profiles for different project types, export and share rule configurations across team members, integrate linting into code review processes, and establish consistent validation criteria for infrastructure code, deployment configurations, and automation scripts.

What performance capabilities and file size limits does the linter support?

The linter supports large YAML files up to 100MB with efficient real-time processing, responsive interface even with complex multi-document files, memory-optimized parsing and analysis, smooth performance with nested structures and extensive configurations, and scalable processing for enterprise-grade infrastructure files without browser performance degradation.

What security and privacy measures protect sensitive configuration data during linting?

All YAML linting and analysis is performed locally in your browser with no data transmission to external servers, ensuring complete privacy for sensitive infrastructure configurations, API keys, secrets, and proprietary deployment details. The linter never stores, logs, or transmits your YAML content, making it safe for production configurations, security-sensitive files, and enterprise infrastructure code.
