Microsoft has announced the public preview launch of Visual Studio Code for the Web, a browser-based version of its free and cross-platform VS Code integrated development environment (IDE).

"Announcing the preview of Visual Studio Code for the Web, a new web-based code editor that runs entirely in your browser and without backing compute," the company announced today.

"Everyone can use VS Code for the Web for free at https://vscode.dev to quickly open and browse source code hosted on GitHub and on your local machine (and soon on Azure Repos), and make and commit lightweight changes."

VS Code's web-based version is focused on helping you work with remote repositories as it will not allow you to work with local files.

"VS Code for the Web does not have access to compute resources, so you won't be able to build, run, or debug your application, nor you will be able to use the integrated terminal," Microsoft added.

Those who need a more complete Visual Studio Code experience can upgrade to a GitHub Codespaces instance, allowing them to debug and build code, as well as use VS Code extensions and the integrated terminal.

Microsoft has today announced a preview version of Visual Studio Code (VS Code) for the Web. This essentially allows developers to use a lightweight version of the integrated development environment (IDE) directly in the browser and without downloading any installer.

Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge support the File System Access API so will allow local code files to be opened directly. Meanwhile, other browsers will have to rely on code files being uploaded and downloaded.

It is important to note that the debugger and terminal are not available in VS Code for the Web, as it's not possible to compile and run app code in a browser sandbox right now.

That said, most programming languages will feature code syntax and bracket pair colorization, symbol search, and more. Some like Python, TypeScript, and JavaScript will also be able to leverage semantic highlighting and single file completions. Meanwhile, web languages such as JSON, HTML, CSS, and LESS will work identically to the desktop version of VS Code. Extensions are supported too.
