description Visual Studio Code Overview

Available on Windows, macOS and Linux, Visual Studio Code is a source code editor for building software, including websites and web applications. It provides an integrated terminal and Git tools, so developers can run commands and review changes alongside their code.

Extensions add language support and specialized tooling, making the same editor usable across different projects. Its interface follows a consistent approach across the supported operating systems. VS Code suits developers who prefer an adaptable editor and choose the tools they need through extensions. That flexibility also means the experience depends partly on the installed extensions and their configuration.

A large or demanding extension collection can increase resource use. Although this item is listed under website builders, it requires writing code and does not provide the visual page-building workflow associated with that category.
