Online Code Editor
An online code editor is a web-based tool that allows developers to write, edit, and run code directly in a browser without installing software locally. It typically includes features like syntax highlighting, auto-completion, and integrated development environments (IDEs) for various programming languages. These editors are often used for quick prototyping, learning, collaborative coding, and remote development workflows.
Developers should use online code editors when they need to quickly test code snippets, collaborate in real-time with team members, or work from any device without setup overhead. They are ideal for coding interviews, educational purposes, and rapid prototyping in environments like JavaScript, Python, or HTML/CSS, where immediate feedback is valuable.
