Your code editor. Redefined with AI.
Visual Studio Code (VS Code) is a free, open-source code editor developed by Microsoft, available for Windows, Linux, and macOS. It is designed to be lightweight yet powerful, offering features such as debugging, task running, and version control, which are essential for development operations. VS Code supports a wide array of programming languages, including Java, C++, Python, CSS, Go, and Dockerfile, among others.234
VS Code's user interface is divided into several main regions, allowing for a lot of interaction compared to other text editors. It includes built-in support for Git and many other source control providers, and it integrates with build and scripting tools to perform common tasks, making everyday workflows faster.45
One of the key features of VS Code is its extensibility. Users can add on and even create new extensions, including code linters, debuggers, and cloud and web development support. The editor also supports a rich ecosystem of extensions available in the Visual Studio Marketplace, which can be used to enhance the functionality of any written code.34
VS Code is built on the Electron framework, which uses Chromium and Node.js as its core technologies. It employs the same editor component used in Azure DevOps, known as Monaco, and does not use Atom, despite being based on Electron.14
VS Code collects usage data and sends it to Microsoft to help improve the product and services, but users can disable this feature by setting the telemetry level to off.4
Visual Studio Code is a streamlined code editor that aims to provide developers with just the tools they need for a quick code-build-debug cycle, leaving more complex workflows to fuller featured IDEs like Visual Studio IDE.4
For those interested in trying out new features, VS Code offers an "Insiders" build that installs alongside the stable version and is updated nightly with the latest bug fixes and feature updates.
