difference between jslint and jshint? [duplicate]

Question

Which one should I use?

Are they the same thing?

I found: "JSLint is a JavaScript program that looks for problems in JavaScript programs. It is a code quality tool."

Answer 1

JSHint is a fork of JSLint. The reasons for the fork can be read for example here. Basically the author disagrees in some points with Douglas Crockford on JavaScript coding style.

Using either is a matter of personal preference IMHO. I prefer JSHint, however using either is way better, than using neither :)
