## What it is
LiveCodes is a feature-rich, open-source, client-side code playground supporting 90+ languages and frameworks including React, Vue, Svelte, TypeScript, and Python. It runs entirely in the browser and is also available as an npm SDK for embedding playgrounds in other apps.

## Use cases
- run code snippets in the browser without setup
- try out react vue svelte components online
- embed a code playground in documentation or a blog
- learn a new programming language interactively
- share runnable code demos with others
- prototype javascript and typescript quickly

## When to choose
- you need a browser-based playground supporting many languages and frameworks
- you want an embeddable playground SDK for your site or docs
- you prefer a client-side solution with no server backend required

## When to avoid
- you need a full IDE with local file system and terminal access
- you require server-side execution or heavy backend workloads
- you need offline desktop development tooling
