Answer 1

There exist a parser called ECMAScript parsing infrastructure for multipurpose analysis (esprima) located at http://esprima.org/ with several example tools that can be used in some analysis

ECMAScript parsing infrastructure for multipurpose analysis

Answer 2

Apart from JSLint, JSHint, ESLint, Plato, Google Closure-Linter there's another tool named Esprima. Here is the link for it: http://esprima.org/

Also, this is the github link for the tool Esprima: https://github.com/ariya/esprima

I faced installation issues while trying out Google Closure-Linter for Windows. But, it does mention on the web page that its support for Windows is experimental. All other tools are easy to use.

Answer 3

I have found JSLint which helps correct a lot of common errors and such; however, I'm hoping to find something that I can add my own rules and such to help automate some coding standards stuff that my company is wanting to implement into JavaScript.

http://www.jslint.com/

I need to look into it's extensibility model more.

Answer 4

In the interest of keeping this question up-to-date, there is a fork of JSLint called JSHint. An explanation of why JSHint was created can be found here, but to summarize:

JSHint is a fork of JSLint, the tool written and maintained by Douglas Crockford. JSLint served me well for quite some time but in the past few months it has gotten uncomfortably opinionated and hostile towards your code. It is quickly transforming from a tool that helps developers to prevent bugs to a tool that makes sure you write your code like Douglas Crockford.
