FAQ

Find answers to commonly asked questions.

What languages are supported by the CodeEdit extension architecture?

CodeEdit supports JavaScript and TypeScript for extension development. React is also supported for the creation of custom interfaces.

Does CodeEdit support the same extension API as VS Code?

No. CodeEdit has its own API.

While there are necessary differences in the API, much of the functionality exposed in the VS Code API is also exposed in CodeEdit. This means it is often possible to port VS Code extensions with minimal effort.
