Free code editor CodeLobster IDE one of the best vs code alternative

CodeLobster IDE is a free editor of web languages, which has been present on the software market for some time now and won many fans.

It allows you to edit PHP code, HTML, CSS, JavaScript and TypeScript files, and it highlights the syntax and gives hints for tags, functions and parameters. This editor can handle files containing a mix of content. For example, if you insert PHP code into your HTML template, the editor will properly highlight both HTML tags and PHP functions, as well as CSS and JavaScript/TypeScript code embedded in HTML files.

The program offers an auto-completion feature, which speeds up and simplifies the work of the programmer and helps to avoid errors.

It also has contextual help for all supported languages, with the most up-to-date documentation being downloaded from official sources. All you have to do is press the F1 key to get a description of any HTML tag, CSS attribute, PHP or JavaScript/TypeScript function.

The integrated PHP debugger allows you to run PHP scripts step by step, going through the code line by line. You can set breakpoints, analyse the workings of loops and monitor the values of variables as the script runs.

CodeLobster IDE also features other useful functions and features, such as pair highlighting of parentheses and tags, syntax highlighting, selection and collapsing of code snippets, bookmarks for easy navigation, recognition and building of the complete structure of PHP projects, and support for 17 user interface languages, including English, German, Russian, Spanish and French.

The program is compatible with Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10, Mac OS, Linux, Ubuntu, Fedora and Debian.

The professional version of CodeLobster IDE offers more features, such as the ability to work with projects on a remote server with the built-in FTP client. You can edit chosen files, preview the results and then synchronize them with the files on the server.

It also has an extensive set of plug-ins, such as ones for JavaScript (and TypeScript) libraries, PHP frameworks (CakePHP, CodeIgniter, Laravel, Phalcon, Smarty, Symfony, Twig and Yii) and the most popular CMS (Drupal, Joomla, Magento and WordPress), as well as a plugin for Bootstrap. You can download and install any of these directly from the program.

Our team has been using CodeLobster IDE for a year and so far we have no complaints. It runs fast and allows us to work even with large PHP projects.
