JSHint vs Snyk: What are the differences?
JSHint: A Static Code Analysis Tool for JavaScript. It is a community-driven tool to detect errors and potential problems in JavaScript code. It is open source and can easily adjust in the environment you expect your code to execute; Snyk: Fix vulnerabilities in Node & npm dependencies with a click. Fix vulnerabilities in Node & npm dependencies with a click.
JSHint can be classified as a tool in the "Code Review" category, while Snyk is grouped under "Dependency Monitoring".
According to the StackShare community, Snyk has a broader approval, being mentioned in 21 company stacks & 43 developers stacks; compared to JSHint, which is listed in 4 company stacks and 5 developer stacks.
I'm beginning to research the right way to better integrate how we achieve SCA / shift-left / SecureDevOps / secure software supply chain. If you use or have evaluated WhiteSource, Snyk, Sonatype Nexus, SonarQube or similar, I would very much appreciate your perspective on strengths and weaknesses and how you selected your ultimate solution. I want to integrate with GitLab CI.
I'd recommend Snyk since it provides an IDE extension for Developers, SAST, auto PR security fixes, container, IaC and includes open source scanning as well. I like their scoring method as well for better prioritization. I was able to remove most of the containers and cli tools I had in my pipelines since Snyk covers secrets, vulns, security and some code cleaning. SAST has false positives but the scoring helps. Also had to spend time putting some training docs but their engineers helped out with content.
