## What it is
HTML Inspector is a customizable JavaScript code quality tool for auditing HTML markup, running in the browser or via a PhantomJS-based CLI. It enforces configurable conventions between strict W3C validation and no rules at all.

## Use cases
- lint html markup for code quality issues
- enforce team html conventions
- audit dom after scripts run
- validate html less strictly than w3c validator
- write custom html linting rules

## When to choose
- you need customizable, extensible HTML quality rules in the browser
- you want a middle ground between strict validation and no linting

## When to avoid
- you need an actively maintained tool
- you want modern CLI linting without PhantomJS
- you need CSS/JS linting too

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: abandoned
- function: testing, linter, developer-tools
- domain: web-development, frontend, developer-tools, testing
- platform: browser, cli
- tags: html-linting, code-quality, markup-validation, phantomjs, customizable-rules, nodejs
