XRLint - A linter for xarray datasets

XRLint is a linting tool and library for xarray datasets. Its design is heavily inspired by the awesome ESLint.

Features

• Flexible validation for xarray.Dataset objects by configurable rules.
• Available from CLI and Python API.
• Custom plugins providing custom rule sets allow addressing different dataset conventions.
• Project-specific configurations including configuration of individual rules and file-specific settings.
• Works with dataset files in the local filesystem or any of the remote filesystems supported by xarray.

Inbuilt Rules

The following plugins provide XRLint's inbuilt rules:

• core: implementing the rules for tidy data and the CF-Conventions.
• xcube: implementing the rules for xcube datasets. Note, this plugin is fully optional. You must manually configure it to apply its rules. It may be moved into a separate GitHub repo once XRLint is mature enough.
