This is an Arcanist extension providing a mechanism for implementing external Linter tools. The extension allows linter tools to emit JSON-serialized violation messages to standard output. See Phabricator T9827 for the original motivation behind this extension.
First add this repository as a submodule of the project,
$ git submodule add https://github.com/bgamari/arcanist-external-json-linter.git .arcanist-external-json-linter
$ git submodule update --init
Then load the extension in .arcconfig,
{
"project_id": "my-awesome-project",
"conduit_uri": "https://example.org",
"load": [
".arcanist-external-json-linter"

}
Add a linter to .arclint,
{
"linters": {
