Update: March 20th 2017
The improved error handler from within this project has now been merged into the main linter-swagger project. This project will be kept here for reference, but I recommend everyone switch to using the linter-swagger project where this functionality will be maintained from now on.

linter-swagger-improved

An improved version of the linter-swagger plugin with better identification of errors within your swagger files.

This plugin for Linter will lint Swagger 2.0 specifications, both JSON and YAML using swagger-parser node package.

Linting Examples

Debugging Swagger spec errors has always been a frustrating experience, with the error messages given seemingly random and arbitrary. Here are a few examples of how this plugin improves things.
