title: What is the difference between a linter and a validator?
body: <p>I'm working on organizing some things and wanted to combined these two sets.  In fact I don't know of any other validator besides the W3 - <a href="http://validator.w3.org/" rel="noreferrer">http://validator.w3.org/</a></p>
  
  <pre><code>Linters - jslint | jshint | eslint
  Validators - w3
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is there any difference between these 2 types of tools.  Both just look at the code statically and test it against a set syntax correct ?</p>
