Questions tagged [visual-studio-code]

Visual Studio Code is a text editor available for Linux, Mac, and Windows. You can also use this tag for unofficial binaries of the portion of the code that is open source (such as VSCodium) as well. It includes support for debugging, embedded Git control, various extensions and rich development experiences such as intelligent code completion. It is mainly developed by Microsoft, and built on Electron like GitHub's Atom.

Visual Studio Code is a lightweight, but powerful, source code editor developed by Microsoft. It runs on the desktop and is available for Windows, Mac, and Linux. It comes with built-in support for JavaScript, TypeScript, and Node.js and has a rich ecosystem of extensions for other languages (such as C++, C#, Python, and PHP) and runtimes. It is licensed under the Microsoft Software License Terms, but most of the source code is available under the MIT license. There are unofficial binaries (such as VSCodium) that contain only the MIT-licensed code.

Visual Studio Code uses the Blink layout engine to render the interface, Electron for the framework, and TypeScript for the program logic.
