The API linter provides real-time checks for compliance with many of Google's API standards, documented using API Improvement Proposals. It operates on API surfaces defined in protocol buffers.
It identifies common mistakes and inconsistencies in API surfaces:
// Incorrect.
message GetBookRequest {
// This is wrong; it should be spelled `name`.
string book = 1;
}When able, it also offers a suggestion for the correct fix.
