It would be beneficial to allow the linter to output it's messages in a way that is standardized and easy to parse by various tool.
@wallento is working on something similar for verilator, it may be a good idea to use exactly the same format in verible to be able to use both linters interchangeably (or together) and not having to worry parsing different outputs.
I think there is no implementation yet, but json and xml are being considered. I'm opening this issue here to track what is happening and discuss ideas.
