Integrated development environment
open-in-new
<h2 id="overview">Overview</h2> <p>Integrated development environments are designed to maximize programmer productivity by providing tight-knit components with similar <a href="/facts/User_interface/e9sPEWVD">user interfaces</a>. IDEs present a single program in which all development is done. This program typically provides many features for authoring, modifying, compiling, deploying and debugging software. This contrasts with software development using unrelated tools, such as <a href="/facts/Vi_(text_editor)/d8G1PkDh">vi</a>, <a href="/facts/GNU_Debugger/nTs958uC">GDB</a>, <a href="/facts/GNU_Compiler_Collection/t07jh01k">GNU Compiler Collection</a>, or <a href="/facts/Make_(software)/5q1DQ4ot">make</a>. </p><p>One aim of the IDE is to reduce the configuration necessary to piece together multiple development utilities. Instead, it provides the same set of capabilities as one cohesive unit. Reducing setup time can increase developer productivity, especially in cases where learning to use the IDE is faster than manually integrating and learning all of the individual tools. Tighter integration of all development tasks has the potential to improve overall productivity beyond just helping with setup tasks. For example, code can be continuously parsed while it is being edited, providing instant feedback when syntax errors are introduced, thus allowing developers to debug code much faster and more easily with an IDE. </p><p>Some IDEs are dedicated to a specific <a href="/facts/Programming_language/cWTYbgWa">programming language</a>, allowing a feature set that most closely matches the <a href="/facts/Programming_paradigm/7LwgRpB3">programming paradigms</a> of the language. However, there are many multiple-language IDEs. </p><p>While most modern IDEs are graphical, text-based IDEs such as <a href="/facts/Turbo_Pascal/2aWFEk9z">Turbo Pascal</a> were in popular use before the availability of windowing systems like <a href="/facts/Microsoft_Windows/bwhAhuSL">Microsoft Windows</a> and the <a href="/facts/X_Window_System/ac2vRIQL">X Window System</a> (X11). They commonly use function keys or <a href="/facts/Keyboard_shortcut/mjeb82kI">hotkeys</a> to execute frequently used commands or macros. </p> <h2 id="history">History</h2> <p>IDEs initially became possible when developing via a <a href="/facts/System_console/FhWph34D">console</a> or <a href="/facts/Computer_terminal/fSlx05qV">terminal</a>. Early systems could not support one, since programs were submitted to a <a href="/facts/Compiler/WNfCDFJe">compiler</a> or <a href="/facts/Assembly_language/7XuV0cla">assembler</a> via <a href="/facts/Punched_card/44WsPulQ">punched cards</a>, <a href="/facts/Paper_tape/8HI7dThI">paper tape</a>, etc. <a href="/facts/Dartmouth_BASIC/DY1M2BmI">Dartmouth BASIC</a> was the first language to be created with an IDE (and was also the first to be designed for use while sitting in front of a console or terminal). Its IDE (part of the <a href="/facts/Dartmouth_Time-Sharing_System/e0VrIbVP">Dartmouth Time-Sharing System</a>) was command-based, and therefore did not look much like the menu-driven, graphical IDEs popular after the advent of the <a href="/facts/Graphical_user_interface/wBlQFWDP">graphical user interface</a>. However it integrated editing, file management, compilation, debugging and execution in a manner consistent with a modern IDE. </p><p><a href="/facts/Maestro_I/NReQG9NX">Maestro I</a> is a product from Softlab Munich and was the world's first integrated development environment<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:1" href="#fn:1"><sup>1</sup></a> for software. <a href="/facts/Maestro_I/NReQG9NX">Maestro I</a> was installed for 22,000 programmers worldwide. Until 1989, 6,000 installations existed in the <a href="/facts/West_Germany/oCydk787">Federal Republic of Germany</a>. Maestro was arguably the world leader in this field during the 1970s and 1980s. Today one of the last Maestro I can be found in the Museum of Information Technology at Arlington in Texas. </p><p>One of the first IDEs with a plug-in concept was <a href="/facts/Softbench/0JWyVT6h">Softbench</a>. In 1995 <i>Computerwoche</i> commented that the use of an IDE was not well received by developers since it would fence in their creativity. </p><p>As of August 2023, the most commonly searched for IDEs on <a href="/facts/Google_Search/LFnCogKt">Google Search</a> were <a href="/facts/Visual_Studio/omNe6Lej">Visual Studio</a>, <a href="/facts/Visual_Studio_Code/YsBDgKlK">Visual Studio Code</a>, and <a href="/facts/Eclipse_(software)/YoqHVjas">Eclipse</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:2" href="#fn:2"><sup>2</sup></a> </p> <h2 id="topics">Topics</h2> <h3>Syntax highlighting</h3> <p class="note">Main article: <a href="/facts/Syntax_highlighting/cLCr5a6w">Syntax highlighting</a></p> <p>The IDE editor usually provides <a href="/facts/Syntax_highlighting/cLCr5a6w">syntax highlighting</a>, it can show both the structures, the language keywords and the syntax errors with visually distinct colors and font effects.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:3" href="#fn:3"><sup>3</sup></a> </p> <h3>Code completion</h3> <p>Code completion is an important IDE feature, intended to speed up programming. Modern IDEs even have <a href="/facts/Intelligent_code_completion/E25moVCY">intelligent code completion</a>. </p> <h4>Intelligent code completion</h4> <p class="note">This section is an excerpt from <a href="/facts/Code_completion/eLNAGYlS">Code completion</a>.[<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Code_completion&action=edit">edit</a>]</p> <p><a href="/facts/Code_completion/eLNAGYlS">Code completion</a> is an <a href="/facts/Autocomplete/eLNAGYlS">autocompletion</a> feature in many integrated development environments (IDEs) that speeds up the process of coding applications by fixing common mistakes and suggesting lines of code. This usually happens through popups while typing, querying parameters of functions, and query hints related to syntax errors. Modern code completion software typically uses <a href="/facts/Generative_artificial_intelligence/ykT3GGyT">generative artificial intelligence</a> systems to predict lines of code. Code completion and related tools serve as documentation and disambiguation for <a href="/facts/Variable_(programming)/VoCKtwml">variable</a> names, <a href="/facts/Subroutine/9vFJrg0A">functions</a>, and <a href="/facts/Method_(computer_science)/8kAXxVYs">methods</a>, using <a href="/facts/Static_program_analysis/b56nr6QM">static analysis</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:4" href="#fn:4"><sup>4</sup></a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:5" href="#fn:5"><sup>5</sup></a> </p> The feature appears in many programming environments.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:6" href="#fn:6"><sup>6</sup></a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:7" href="#fn:7"><sup>7</sup></a> Implementations include IntelliSense in <a href="/facts/Visual_Studio_Code/YsBDgKlK">Visual Studio Code</a>. The term was originally popularized as "picklist" and some implementations still refer to it as such.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:8" href="#fn:8"><sup>8</sup></a> <h3>Refactoring</h3> <p>Advanced IDEs provide support for <a href="/facts/Source-to-source_compiler/MnSVwoe9">automated refactoring</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:9" href="#fn:9"><sup>9</sup></a> </p> <h3>Version control</h3> <p>An IDE is expected to provide integrated <a href="/facts/Version_control/pxCmFXqK">version control</a>, in order to interact with source repositories.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:10" href="#fn:10"><sup>10</sup></a> </p> <h3>Debugging</h3> <p>IDEs are also used for debugging, using an integrated <a href="/facts/Debugger/mCe6UsWj">debugger</a>, with support for setting breakpoints in the editor, visual rendering of steps, etc.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:11" href="#fn:11"><sup>11</sup></a> </p> <h3>Code search</h3> <p>IDEs may provide support for code search. Code search has two different meanings. First, it means searching for class and function declarations, usages, variable and field read/write, etc. IDEs can use different kinds of user interface for code search, for example form-based widgets<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:12" href="#fn:12"><sup>12</sup></a> and natural-language based interfaces. Second, it means searching for a concrete implementation of some specified functionality.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:13" href="#fn:13"><sup>13</sup></a> </p> <h3>Visual programming</h3> <p><a href="/facts/Visual_programming/j0eyIPzU">Visual programming</a> is a usage scenario in which an IDE is generally required. Visual Basic allows users to create new applications by moving programming, building blocks, or code nodes to create flowcharts or structure diagrams that are then compiled or interpreted. These flowcharts often are based on the <a href="/facts/Unified_Modeling_Language/3tlNS0tH">Unified Modeling Language</a>. </p><p>This interface has been popularized with the <a href="/facts/Lego_Mindstorms/WhKlrqE6">Lego Mindstorms</a> system and is being actively perused by a number of companies wishing to capitalize on the power of custom browsers like those found at <a href="/facts/Mozilla/FevL9Itn">Mozilla</a>. <a href="/facts/KTechlab/EUHjuJBn">KTechlab</a> supports flowcode and is a popular open-source IDE and Simulator for developing software for microcontrollers. Visual programming is also responsible for the power of <a href="/facts/Distributed_programming/o5nyhqTF">distributed programming</a> (cf. <a href="/facts/LabVIEW/ue0vyha4">LabVIEW</a> and EICASLAB software). An early visual programming system, <a href="/facts/Max_(software)/3RaJECeF">Max</a>, was modeled after an analog <a href="/facts/Synthesizer/NrmdVrPa">synthesizer</a> design and has been used to develop real-time music performance software since the 1980s. Another early example was <a href="/facts/Prograph/GvVEazjX">Prograph</a>, a <a href="/facts/Dataflow_programming/60IdWpE1">dataflow</a>-based system originally developed for the <a href="/facts/Macintosh/8GhnXTK0">Macintosh</a>. The graphical programming environment "Grape" is used to program <a href="/facts/Qfix_robot_kits/ndFqTPUU">qfix robot kits</a>. </p><p>This approach is also used in specialist software such as Openlab, where the end-users want the flexibility of a full programming language, without the traditional learning curve associated with one. </p> <h3>Language support</h3> <p>Some IDEs support multiple languages, such as <a href="/facts/GNU_Emacs/MPxf7qRC">GNU Emacs</a>, <a href="/facts/IntelliJ_IDEA/h689XrQz">IntelliJ IDEA</a>, <a href="/facts/Eclipse_(software)/YoqHVjas">Eclipse</a>, <a href="/facts/MyEclipse/qRLuwVI3">MyEclipse</a>, <a href="/facts/NetBeans/9kqvIVFG">NetBeans</a>, <a href="/facts/MonoDevelop/HN4e0nVj">MonoDevelop</a>, JDoodle or PlayCode. </p><p>Support for alternative languages is often provided by <a href="/facts/Plug-in_(computing)/351Du3Wu">plugins</a>, allowing them to be installed on the same IDE at the same time. For example, Flycheck is a modern on-the-fly syntax checking extension for <a href="/facts/GNU_Emacs/MPxf7qRC">GNU Emacs</a> 24 with support for 39 languages.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:14" href="#fn:14"><sup>14</sup></a> Another example is JDoodle, an online cloud-based IDE that supports 88 languages.<a href="https://www.jdoodle.com/docs/jdoodle-apis/programming-languages-and-versions">[1]</a> <a href="/facts/Eclipse_(software)/YoqHVjas">Eclipse</a>, and <a href="/facts/Netbeans/9kqvIVFG">Netbeans</a> have plugins for <a href="/facts/C_(programming_language)/Ky2No763">C</a>/<a href="/facts/C%252B%252B/Et0F2qn9">C++</a>, <a href="/facts/Ada_(programming_language)/Y2yHel4l">Ada</a>, <a href="/facts/GNAT/bykaAwtl">GNAT</a> (for example AdaGIDE), <a href="/facts/Perl/fx31kjlT">Perl</a>, <a href="/facts/Python_(programming_language)/YbuGqofa">Python</a>, <a href="/facts/Ruby_(programming_language)/BeYSaPSR">Ruby</a>, and <a href="/facts/PHP/vU6YRJX0">PHP</a>, which are selected between automatically based on file extension, environment or project settings. </p> <h3>Implementation</h3> <p>IDEs can be implemented in various languages, for example: </p> <ul><li><a href="/facts/GNU_Emacs/MPxf7qRC">GNU Emacs</a> using <a href="/facts/Emacs_Lisp/JHdBcPwM">Emacs Lisp</a> and <a href="/facts/C_(programming_language)/Ky2No763">C</a>;</li> <li><a href="/facts/IntelliJ_IDEA/h689XrQz">IntelliJ IDEA</a>, <a href="/facts/Eclipse_(software)/YoqHVjas">Eclipse</a> and <a href="/facts/NetBeans/9kqvIVFG">NetBeans</a>, using <a href="/facts/Java_(programming_language)/9ScgFyAL">Java</a>;</li> <li><a href="/facts/MonoDevelop/HN4e0nVj">MonoDevelop</a> using <a href="/facts/C_Sharp_(programming_language)/UC2gxeyb">C#</a>.</li></ul> <h3>Attitudes across different computing platforms</h3> <p><a href="/facts/Unix/0pNL2seI">Unix</a> programmers can combine <a href="/facts/Command-line/R9JpGmXQ">command-line</a> <a href="/facts/POSIX/mQkSt234">POSIX</a> tools into a complete development environment, capable of developing large programs such as the <a href="/facts/Linux_kernel/dlkduHuA">Linux kernel</a> and its environment.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:15" href="#fn:15"><sup>15</sup></a> In this sense, the entire Unix system functions as an IDE.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:16" href="#fn:16"><sup>16</sup></a> The free software <a href="/facts/GNU_toolchain/8BfT9wfD">GNU toolchain</a> (including <a href="/facts/GNU_Compiler_Collection/t07jh01k">GNU Compiler Collection</a> (GCC), <a href="/facts/GNU_Debugger/nTs958uC">GNU Debugger</a> (GDB), and <a href="/facts/GNU_make/5q1DQ4ot">GNU make</a>) is available on many platforms, including Windows.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:17" href="#fn:17"><sup>17</sup></a> The pervasive Unix philosophy of "everything is a text stream" enables developers who favor <a href="/facts/Command-line/R9JpGmXQ">command-line</a> oriented tools to use editors with support for many of the standard Unix and GNU build tools, building an IDE with programs like <a href="/facts/Emacs/BvGxuAxQ">Emacs</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:18" href="#fn:18"><sup>18</sup></a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:19" href="#fn:19"><sup>19</sup></a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:20" href="#fn:20"><sup>20</sup></a> or <a href="/facts/Vim_(text_editor)/JXAYMDgt">Vim</a>. <a href="/facts/Data_Display_Debugger/fPKsoX6Y">Data Display Debugger</a> is intended to be an advanced graphical front-end for many text-based <a href="/facts/Debugger/mCe6UsWj">debugger</a> standard tools. Some programmers prefer managing <a href="/facts/Makefile/5q1DQ4ot">makefiles</a> and their derivatives to the similar code building tools included in a full IDE. For example, most contributors to the <a href="/facts/PostgreSQL/LHdXuHfl">PostgreSQL</a> database use <a href="/facts/Makefile/5q1DQ4ot">make</a> and <a href="/facts/GNU_Debugger/nTs958uC">GDB</a> directly to develop new features.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:21" href="#fn:21"><sup>21</sup></a> Even when building PostgreSQL for <a href="/facts/Microsoft_Windows/bwhAhuSL">Microsoft Windows</a> using <a href="/facts/Visual_C%252B%252B/RM3sbYw5">Visual C++</a>, <a href="/facts/Perl/fx31kjlT">Perl</a> scripts are used as a replacement for <a href="/facts/Makefile/5q1DQ4ot">make</a> rather than relying on any IDE features.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:22" href="#fn:22"><sup>22</sup></a> Some Linux IDEs such as <a href="/facts/Geany/D8E0NN0U">Geany</a> attempt to provide a graphical front end to traditional build operations. </p><p>On the various <a href="/facts/Microsoft_Windows/bwhAhuSL">Microsoft Windows</a> platforms, command-line tools for development are seldom used. Accordingly, there are many commercial and non-commercial products. However, each has a different design commonly creating incompatibilities. Most major compiler vendors for Windows still provide free copies of their command-line tools, including <a href="/facts/Microsoft/nGIDDXdx">Microsoft</a> (<a href="/facts/Visual_C%252B%252B/RM3sbYw5">Visual C++</a>, <a href="/facts/Platform_SDK/8otR4u2w">Platform SDK</a>, <a href="/facts/.NET_Framework/J6QDAUhP">.NET Framework</a> SDK, <a href="/facts/Nmake/5q1DQ4ot">nmake</a> utility). </p><p>IDEs have always been popular on the Apple Macintosh's <a href="/facts/Classic_Mac_OS/I5fQq44K">classic Mac OS</a> and <a href="/facts/MacOS/Y93vVpTm">macOS</a>, dating back to <a href="/facts/Macintosh_Programmer%2527s_Workshop/W36b0FMc">Macintosh Programmer's Workshop</a>, <a href="/facts/Turbo_Pascal/2aWFEk9z">Turbo Pascal</a>, THINK Pascal and <a href="/facts/THINK_C/L21W7UDP">THINK C</a> environments of the mid-1980s. Currently macOS programmers can choose between native IDEs like <a href="/facts/Xcode/glURdIVT">Xcode</a> and open-source tools such as <a href="/facts/Eclipse_(software)/YoqHVjas">Eclipse</a> and <a href="/facts/Netbeans/9kqvIVFG">Netbeans</a>. <a href="/facts/ActiveState_Komodo/1QXdSvsT">ActiveState Komodo</a> is a proprietary multilanguage IDE supported on macOS. </p> <h2 id="online">Online</h2> <p class="note">Main article: <a href="/facts/Online_integrated_development_environment/C9mE3xPU">Online integrated development environment</a></p> <p>An <a href="/facts/Online_integrated_development_environment/C9mE3xPU">online integrated development environment</a>, also known as a web IDE or cloud IDE, is a <a href="/facts/Web_browser/2pfyymLs">browser</a> based IDE that allows for software development or web development.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:23" href="#fn:23"><sup>23</sup></a> An online IDE can be accessed from a web browser, allowing for a portable work environment.
