## What it is
A deprecated Node.js static code scanner from Microsoft Edge (formerly modern.IE) that analyzes a URL's HTML, CSS, and JavaScript for issues like out-of-date libraries, layout problems, and accessibility problems. It runs as an HTTP server or CLI and outputs JSON results.

## Use cases
- scan a website for outdated JavaScript libraries
- check a web page for accessibility issues
- run a static code scan on an internal site behind a firewall
- integrate web page scanning into a build process via JSON output
- detect invalid doctypes and incomplete CSS property specifications

## When to choose
- you need a quick standalone URL scanner and don't mind unmaintained software
- you want JSON scan output to process with your own scripts

## When to avoid
- you need a maintained tool - use its successor Sonar (sonarwhal/sonar) instead
- you need the formatted report generation, which is not included in this repo
- you require modern Node.js compatibility (it targets Node 0.10+)
