JupyterLab is an extensible, web-based interactive computing environment for authoring computational notebooks, with support for code consoles, terminals, text editors, and rich outputs. It is the next-generation interface for Project Jupyter and can be extended via prebuilt or source extensions distributed through PyPI, conda, and npm.

Use cases

• write and run jupyter notebooks in the browser
• explore and visualize datasets interactively
• prototype python code with inline outputs and charts
• run terminals and text editors alongside notebooks
• build a reproducible data science workflow
• extend the notebook UI with custom extensions
• teach programming with shareable notebook documents

When to choose

• you need a full-featured notebook authoring and editing environment
• you want a customizable, extensible interface beyond classic Jupyter Notebook
• you work with data science, machine learning, or interactive computing across many kernels
• you need real-time collaboration, debugging, and workspaces in a notebook tool

When to avoid

• you only need a lightweight single-notebook interface (Jupyter Notebook may suffice)
• you need a traditional script-based IDE without notebook semantics
• you require a fully offline desktop app without a server (though JupyterLab Desktop exists)
• you want a minimal editor for non-notebook code files
