What Does Syntax Validation Mean?
Syntax validation is the process of checking whether the syntax of a program is free of programming or stylistic editors. There are a number of tools to check syntax for almost every programming language. Some are run locally on the computer and others are available online. These tools are also known as “linters,” after the lint utility which checks for errors in C.
Techopedia Explains Syntax Validation
Syntax validation checks code for various programming and stylistic errors in programming languages. There are syntax validators, also called linters, available for almost every programming language in current use. A well-known example is the lint utility for Unix-like operating systems, written by Stephen P. Johnson at Bell Labs in 1979. The term “linter” is derived from this utility.
