Brackets is an open-source code editor for web development, built entirely in JavaScript, HTML, and CSS, with features like inline editors and live browser preview. Active development has moved to the Phoenix Code project, and this repository is in maintenance mode accepting only security patches.
Use cases
- edit html css and javascript files
- live preview web pages while editing code
- lightweight code editor for web development
- extend a code editor with extensions
- work with css and html preprocessors
When to choose
- you want a lightweight, web-focused code editor with live preview
- you need an editor extensible via JavaScript extensions
- you want to contribute to or fork a JavaScript-based editor codebase
When to avoid
- you need a general-purpose editor for non-web languages
- you want actively developed features - use Phoenix Code instead
- you need an IDE with full debugging and refactoring tooling
