Online integrated development environment
open-in-new
<p>An online integrated development environment, also known as a web IDE or cloud IDE, is an <a href="/facts/Integrated_development_environment/jbEINSQf">integrated development environment</a> that can be accessed from a <a href="/facts/Web_browser/2pfyymLs">web browser</a>. Online IDEs can be used without downloads or installation, instead operating fully within modern web browsers such as <a href="/facts/Firefox/xez2zv8H">Firefox</a>, <a href="/facts/Google_Chrome/4INfWq37">Google Chrome</a> or <a href="/facts/Microsoft_Edge/BGoJEFX9">Microsoft Edge</a>. Online IDEs can enable software development on low-powered devices that are normally unsuitable. An online IDE does not usually contain all of the same features as a traditional desktop IDE, only basic IDE features such as a <a href="/facts/Source-code_editor/D0hecHMt">source-code editor</a> with <a href="/facts/Syntax_highlighting/cLCr5a6w">syntax highlighting</a>. Integrated <a href="/facts/Version_control/pxCmFXqK">version control</a> and <a href="/facts/Read%25E2%2580%2593eval%25E2%2580%2593print_loop/lddjCYxt">Read–Eval–Print Loop</a> (REPL) may also be included. </p>
