Code Browser is a folding editor, designed to hierarchically structure any kind of text file and especially source code and makes navigation through source code faster and easier.

It is especially designed to keep a good overview of the code of large projects.

The editor is between a traditional text editor, a smalltalk class browser and a web browser like Mozilla. It displays a structured text file (marker-based folding) hierarchically using multiple panes. It usually supports syntax highlighting for all major languages. Although Code Browser was initially designed to edit programs, it can also be used for different tasks such as plain text outlining or helping to understand existing source code.
