[Replacement]: `eslint-plugin-jsx-a11y`

[connorshea]

Package to replace

eslint-plugin-jsx-a11y

Suggested replacement(s)

• eslint-plugin-jsx-a11y-x, has many fewer dependencies and properly, fully supports ESLint v10 / flat config
• oxlint, which is a linter written in Rust and supports every jsx-a11y rule (except the deprecated one). It's much faster and also has fewer dependencies.

Obligatory disclaimer: I'm on the oxlint core team

Manifest type

preferred (lighter or more modern alternative package)

Rationale

• The package supports very old versions of ESLint/Node for no good reason and therefore has far, far more dependencies than it needs.
• Both alternative packages have fewer dependencies, and Oxlint is also considerably faster to run, especially on larger projects.

Availability

No response

Code example (optional)

For jsx-a11y-x my understanding is that it should be basically a drop-in replacement if you want to continue using ESLint, just update `jsx-a11y` to `jsx-a11y-x` where necessary: https://github.com/es-tooling/eslint-plugin-jsx-a11y-x#installation

https://github.com/oxc-project/oxlint-migrate for migrating to oxlint

im going to mark this as accepted but we should note in the docs that eslint-plugin-jsx-a11y-x is "experimental". it isn't really but there's still work going on to modernise it so i'd rather note that down than not.
