Output formats

Oxlint supports multiple output formats for emitting lint results. These can be used to integrate with various CI systems or other tools.

You can specify the desired format using the --format (or -f) option when running Oxlint from the CLI.

Available formats

--format=default

This is the default output format if none is specified.
