Welcome to firehose’s documentation!

“firehose” is a Python package intended for managing the results from code analysis tools (e.g. compiler warnings, static analysis, linters, etc).

It currently provides parsers for the output of gcc, clang-analyzer, cppcheck, and findbugs. These parsers convert the results into a common data model of Python objects, with methods for lossless roundtrips through a provided XML format. There is also a JSON equivalent.

It is available on pypi here:
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/firehose
and via git from:
https://github.com/fedora-static-analysis/firehose
The mailing list is:
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/firehose-devel

Firehose is Free Software, licensed under the LGPLv2.1 or (at your option) any later version.

It requires Python 2.7 or 3.2 onwards, and has been successfully tested with PyPy.

It is currently of alpha quality.

The API and serialization formats are not yet set in stone (and we’re keen on hearing feedback before we lock things down more).
