## What it is
Scripted is a fast, lightweight browser-based code editor focused on JavaScript editing, served from a locally running Node.js server. It is built on the Eclipse Orion editor and offers syntax highlighting, JSHint integration, type-inference-driven content assist, and navigation features.

## Use cases
- edit javascript code in a lightweight browser-based editor
- get content assist and type inference for javascript modules
- lint javascript files with jshint while editing
- navigate to function declarations with F8
- format javascript code with jsbeautify
- run external commands like less or mvn from editor key bindings

## When to choose
- you want a fast, lightweight editor specifically for JavaScript, HTML, and CSS editing
- you prefer a browser-based editor served locally from Node.js
- you like Eclipse Orion key bindings and editing conventions

## When to avoid
- you need an actively maintained editor with modern language server support
- you require support for languages beyond JavaScript, HTML, and CSS
- you want a desktop-native editor or modern IDE features like debugging
