Zlint jWrapper

Overview

The Zlint Java Wrapper is a Java-based utility that wraps around the zlint command-line tool. ZLint is a X.509 certificate linter written in Java that checks for consistency with standards (e.g. RFC 5280) and other relevant PKI requirements. It uses the ProcessBuilder class to execute zlint commands and capture the results. This wrapper allows you to integrate Zlint's linting capabilities into your Java applications seamlessly.

Features

• Execute zlint commands from Java.
• Intenally process the zlint json result and give a high level result.
• Dynamically set the working directory for zlint execution.
• Handle different operating systems (Windows, Linux, Mac).

Requirements

• Java 8 or higher
• zlint command-line tool installed and accessible in your system's PATH or
• you can set the custom working directory of zlint only once before linting

  ZLinter.setZlintPath("Directory_Containing_Zlint");
