Ktlint is an opinionated Kotlin linter with a built-in formatter that enforces a standard code style without configuration. It supports .editorconfig, multiple report formats, and custom rule sets.

Use cases

  • lint kotlin code
  • auto-format kotlin files
  • enforce consistent code style in kotlin projects
  • check kotlin style in CI
  • fix style violations automatically

When to choose

  • you want zero-config Kotlin style enforcement
  • you need automatic fixing of style violations
  • you want .editorconfig support and CI-friendly reporters

When to avoid

  • you need highly customizable lint rules with fine-grained configuration
  • you lint languages other than Kotlin
