JSHint is a command line tool that lints JavaScript files and snippets. It’s written in Node.js, which is a platform for developing applications using JavaScript. If you need a quick overview of Node.js fundamentals, refer to appendix A, where I explain what modules are and how they work. If you want a deeper analysis of Node.js, refer to Node.js in Action by Mike Cantelon et al. (Manning, 2013). Understanding this will also be useful when working with Grunt, our build tool of choice, in the next chapter.
