Overview

Checkstyle can generate XML, SARIF and plain text reports of its findings.

Xml report

The XML report schema is available at: checkstyle-report-1.0.0.xsd

Use this schema to validate XML output from Checkstyle's report generation.

Below is an example of a Checkstyle XML report:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<checkstyle version="10.0">
  <file name="com/puppycrawl/tools/checkstyle/Main.java">
    <error line="1" column="1" severity="error"
      message="Missing package-info.java file."
      source="com.puppycrawl.tools.checkstyle.checks.coding.MissingPackageInfoCheck"/>
  </file>
</checkstyle>
