Question

I have written an API and defined a method which a user needs to call on a certain condition. Suppose a user is creating a video app then he should implement mute function in his code (which is defined in a javascript API or file). Now I am looking for a code analyzer by which i can check wether he has implemented this (in his JS file) in a correct way. According to me I think this will be a custom rule and I want to make this project in Java, so that I can take the source code( Which is a js file or html file) and do this analysis on that source code.

So is there any code analyzer tool available ?

how can i compile this idea?

And what are the possible way?

Many many thanks to all.

You should check out CheckStyle. It will fit your needs. It was a lot of out of the box tasks like:

<module name="VisibilityModifier">
    <property name="packageAllowed" value="true"/>
</module>

But you can extend it.

You write your custom rules in Java, but it check anything. In our project, we use it e.g. to check the vadility of xml, jsp, … files.
