PMD formatter for TSLint
One of the development teams we work with is developing in TypeScript and using tslint for code analysis. We’ve established a CD process for them which involves compiling typsecript to javascript, minifying the resulting code and deploying it to a staging server. Naturally they wanted to run tslint as a part of this flow in order to get notified on any new warnings a commit might have introduced. When running static code analysis in CD flow one wants some statistics on analysis results and a nice graphic representation of the results.

So the only thing we needed was formatting the tslint output according to PMD format, which is in fact a very simple xml markup. Writing a formatter was…
