history

Project history and usage

Oxlint is a high-performance JavaScript and TypeScript linter built in Rust on the Oxc compiler stack.

Project history

The Oxc project announced Oxlint's general availability in December 2023 as a fast, correctness-oriented JavaScript linter built on the Oxc compiler stack.

A beta release in March 2025 substantially expanded rules, fixes, nested configuration, and framework-file support. Oxlint reached its first stable major release in June 2025, after which development added broader plugin compatibility and type-aware linting.

Adoption history

Oxlint was initially positioned as a fast companion to ESLint, running first in local or CI workflows. As rule coverage and configuration support grew, official guidance expanded to replacing ESLint outright or migrating incrementally with overlapping rules disabled.

The project reports production use in large JavaScript and TypeScript repositories, where native parallel execution reduces linting time and CI cost.

How it is used

Oxlint can run without configuration and supports JavaScript, TypeScript, JSX, TSX, and script blocks in several framework file formats. It provides fixes, ignore handling, multi-file rules, type-aware analysis, and built-in implementations of many familiar plugin rule sets.

Projects can replace ESLint directly or migrate incrementally: the official guide recommends running Oxlint first and using eslint-plugin-oxlint to disable duplicate ESLint checks. Configuration discovery starts in the working directory and supports nested files.

Why package nerds care

Oxlint is a prominent example of JavaScript tooling moving performance-critical analysis into native Rust binaries while retaining familiar ESLint rules and configuration concepts.

Package enthusiasts care about its zero-configuration default, standalone binary distribution, built-in ports of popular plugin rules, migration tooling, multi-file analysis, editor support, and evolving compatibility with JavaScript plugins.

Timeline

2023: Oxlint became generally available.
2025: Oxlint entered beta with expanded rule and configuration support.
2025: Oxlint 1.0 became the first stable release.
2026: JavaScript plugins reached alpha and type-aware linting became stable.
