AvaloniaEdit is a C# text editor control for the Avalonia UI framework, ported from the WPF-based AvalonEdit. It provides syntax highlighting, code folding, code completion, multi-caret editing, and other rich text editing features as an embeddable UI component.

Use cases

• embed a code editor with syntax highlighting in an Avalonia app
• add line numbers and code folding to a text view
• build a lightweight IDE or script editor in .NET
• display and edit large text documents with virtualization
• add TextMate grammar-based highlighting to a cross-platform .NET app

When to choose

• you are building an Avalonia desktop application that needs a rich text or code editor
• you want AvalonEdit-like features cross-platform in .NET
• you need customizable editor features like folding, completion, and multi-caret editing

When to avoid

• you are building a WPF app (use the original AvalonEdit instead)
• you need a full IDE experience rather than an embeddable editor control
• your app does not use Avalonia or .NET
