There are a lot of great code tidiers and validators out there. tidyall makes them available from a single unified interface.
You can run tidyall on a single file or on an entire project hierarchy, and configure which tidiers/validators are applied to which files. tidyall will back up files beforehand, and for efficiency will only consider files that have changed since they were last processed.
A tidier transforms a file so as to improve its appearance without changing its semantics. Examples include perltidy, podtidy and js-beautify.
A validator analyzes a file for some definition of correctness. Examples include perlcritic, podchecker and jshint.
Many tidiers are also validators, e.g. perltidy will throw an error on badly formed Perl.
