Oxlint JavaScript Plugins
Status: Technical Preview (since October 2025)
OverviewLink to heading: Overview
Oxlint now supports JavaScript-based plugins, letting you extend the linter while retaining near-Rust performance.
Known Issues & TradeoffsLink to heading: Known Issues & Tradeoffs
- This initial release does not implement all of ESLint's plugin API
- Performance is good, but it's going to get way better
- Known issues for Windows users (who is using Windows for web-dev ?)
- It can't be as fast as native Oxlint rules and plugins
Adoption ConsiderationsLink to heading: Adoption Considerations
- New Projects: Adopt if you mostly rely on built-in rules. Avoid heavy ESLint plugin assumptions
- Existing Projects: In case you have huge pile of ESLint plugins, consider waiting for stable release. Consider integrating the https://www.npmjs.com/package/eslint-plugin-oxlint to offload rules Oxlint already supports while keeping ESLint for the rest.
