Metadata Linter

Maintaining clean, secure, and well-documented Salesforce environments requires constant vigilance. The Salesforce Metadata Linter automates the review process by instantly auditing your XML metadata files—such as Custom Objects, Flows, Profiles, and Layouts—against a robust set of industry best practices.

Technical Debt Detection

Quickly surface fields missing descriptions, outdated API versions in metadata components, and poorly named elements that violate standard naming conventions. Keeping descriptions populated is critical for long-term maintainability.

Hardcoded ID Prevention

Hardcoded Salesforce IDs (e.g., `01I30000000xxxx`) are notorious for causing deployment failures across sandbox environments. The linter scans formulas, defaults, and flow logic to catch hardcoded IDs before they reach production.

Profile & Security Audits

Scan Profile and Permission Set XMLs to identify unusually broad permissions or missing Field-Level Security (FLS) definitions, helping you adhere strictly to the principle of least privilege.

100% Client-Side Parsing

Salesforce metadata is highly sensitive. The linter utilizes local browser capabilities to parse XML DOM trees, ensuring zero data egress. It provides enterprise-grade security while delivering instantaneous feedback.

How to Lint Your Metadata

  1. Upload Files: Drag and drop your `.object`, `.flow`, `.profile`, or `.permissionset` files into the drop zone. You can upload multiple files simultaneously.
  2. Review Findings: The linter will automatically categorize issues by severity (Error, Warning, Info). Review the specific lines and reasons for each flagged item.
  3. Export Report: Click the Export CSV button to download the linting report for tracking technical debt in Jira or sharing with the team.
  4. Fix & Re-run: Make the necessary corrections in your IDE, then re-upload the files to confirm the issues have been resolved.
