Errs FAQs

Question 1

What is Errs and how does it help developers?

Accepted Answer

Errs is a developer tool that normalizes verbose compiler and linter output into structured JSON. It simplifies error analysis by transforming messy, human-readable text into consistent, programmatic data, making it easier to integrate with other tools or automate error handling.

Question 2

Which programming languages and build tools does Errs support?

Accepted Answer

Errs supports auto-detection for a wide range of formats including Go (go build, vet), Rust (rustc, cargo), C# (.NET build, Roslyn), TypeScript (tsc), ESLint, Python (flake8, mypy), GCC/Clang, and Kotlin (kotlinc, Gradle).

Question 3

Does Errs remove irrelevant information from compiler output?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Errs automatically strips common cruft like ANSI codes, ASCII underlines, column markers, and repeated file paths, ensuring the JSON output is clean and focused solely on actionable error information.

Question 4

What kind of output does Errs produce?

Accepted Answer

Errs outputs comprehensive JSON that includes details for each error such as the file path, line number, column, specific error code (if present), severity, and the error message. It also provides a summary of errors and files.

Question 5

Can Errs be used in a Command-Line Interface (CLI) or as a server?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Errs operates in both modes. You can pipe compiler/linter output directly through its CLI, or run it as an MCP stdio server for more integrated and programmatic parsing of error streams.
