## What it is
zhlint is a linting tool for Chinese text content, available as a CLI, a Node.js package, and a standalone browser script. It validates and auto-fixes issues like missing spaces between Chinese and English text, with configurable rules via rc and ignore files.

## Use cases
- lint chinese text for typography errors
- add spaces between chinese and english automatically
- check translation quality of chinese docs
- fix punctuation in chinese markdown files
- enforce chinese text style rules in ci

## When to choose
- you write or translate Chinese technical documentation and want consistent typography
- you need automated fixing of Chinese/English spacing and punctuation
- you want a lint step for Chinese content in CI pipelines

## When to avoid
- you need general-purpose grammar or spell checking for Chinese
- you need linting for programming language code rather than prose
- you need support for other CJK languages like Japanese or Korean
