Spectral

aid: linting:spectral
name: Spectral
description: Stoplight's flexible JSON/YAML linter for creating automated style guides, with baked-in
  support for OpenAPI v3.1, v3.0, v2.0, Arazzo v1.0, and AsyncAPI v2.x. Spectral is the de facto reference
  linter for API style guides — every other tool in this index either extends its rule grammar or competes
  with it directly.
