## What it is
Muffet is a fast website link checker written in Go that recursively scrapes and inspects all pages of a website for broken links. It supports multiple HTML tags and outputs results in text, JSON, or JUnit XML formats.

## Use cases
- find broken links on my website
- check a static site for dead links before deploy
- crawl a site and report 404s
- validate links in CI with GitHub Actions
- scan all pages of a blog for invalid URLs
- generate JUnit XML reports of link checks

## When to choose
- you need a fast, recursive link checker for a whole website
- you want CI-friendly output formats like JSON or JUnit XML
- you prefer a simple single-binary CLI or Docker image

## When to avoid
- you need JavaScript-rendered single-page app crawling with a real browser
- you need full site auditing beyond link checking like SEO or performance metrics

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: active
- function: web-scraping, testing, cli
- domain: web-development, developer-tools
- platform: windows, cli
