Vacuum Rules

Vacuum is an ultra-fast OpenAPI linter written in Go, created by pb33f (Dave Shanley) as a high-performance alternative to Spectral CLI. Vacuum rules are a fork of Spectral rules that maintain full backward compatibility while adding three new fields: howToFix (remediation guidance), id (stable rule identifier), and category (organizational grouping). Vacuum supports both RFC 9535 JSONPath and JSON Path Plus extensions, and includes a built-in dashboard UI for visualizing lint results.
