Crate nginx_lint_common 

Core types shared between the nginx-lint CLI and WASM plugins.

This crate provides the foundational types used throughout the nginx-lint ecosystem: lint rule definitions, error reporting, configuration management, and ignore comment support.

Modules

• linter — Core lint types: LintRule trait, LintError, Severity, Fix
• config — Configuration loaded from .nginx-lint.toml (LintConfig, ValidationError)
• ignore — # nginx-lint-ignore comment parsing and error filtering
• docs — Rule documentation extraction (RuleDoc)

Quick reference

Type	Purpose
LintRule	Trait that every lint rule (native or WASM) implements
LintError	A single lint diagnostic with location, severity, and optional fixes
Severity	Error or Warning
Fix	An auto-fix action (replace, delete, insert)
LintConfig	Settings loaded from .nginx-lint.toml
Linter	Container that holds rules and runs them against a parsed config

Re-exports

The [parser] module re-exports the entire [nginx_lint_parser] crate, giving access to parse_config, parse_string, and the AST types.
