A VS Code extension that adds preview and editing support for office and design file formats such as Excel, Word, PowerPoint, PDF, EPUB, PSD, and archives, plus a WYSIWYG Markdown editor. It also bundles extras like Git history browsing, HTTP request sending, and Java class decompilation.

When to choose
