What is Visual Studio Code?

Visual Studio Code brings the project tree, source files, terminal and debugging controls into one workspace. It fits developers who want an editor they can adapt to different languages without switching tools for every project. Extensions add language support, formatting and integrations as the work demands.

The choice is how much of that workspace you need. The desktop app supports the fuller local development workflow; the browser version is useful for quick edits but has a different execution environment. AI assistance is optional, and the editor’s free license does not make every connected AI service free.
