JavaScript Standard Style

Standard is a JavaScript style guide, linter, and formatter designed for simplicity and consistency. It enforces a strict, opinionated code style with zero configuration, aiming to eliminate bike-shedding over stylistic choices. Currently at version 17.1.2, it sees active maintenance with minor releases frequently addressing dependency updates and bug fixes, while major versions, like v17.0.0, primarily focus on synchronizing with the broader ESLint ecosystem rather than introducing new rules. Key differentiators include its 'no configuration' philosophy, automatic code formatting via `standard --fix`, and early detection of style issues and common programmer errors, saving time in code reviews. It functions as an all-in-one alternative to separate tools like ESLint and Prettier, using ESLint under the hood but abstracting away its configuration complexity.
