JSFiddle is an online IDE service and online community for testing and showcasing user-created and collaborational HTML, CSS and JavaScript code snippets, known as 'fiddles'. It allows for simulated AJAX calls. In 2019, JSFiddle was ranked the second most popular online IDE by the PopularitY of Programming Language (PYPL) index based on the number of times it was searched, directly behind Cloud9 IDE, worldwide[1] and in the USA.[2]
Concept
JSFiddle is an online IDE which is designed to allow users to edit and run HTML, JavaScript, and CSS code on a single page.[3] Its interface is minimalist and split into four main frames, which correspond to editable HTML, JavaScript and CSS fields and a result field which displays the user's project after it is run [3]. Since early on, JSFiddle adopted smart source-code editor with programming features.
As of 2020, JSFiddle uses CodeMirror to support its editable fields, providing multicursors, syntax highlighting, syntax verification (linter), brace matching, auto indentation, autocompletion, code/text folding, Search and Replace to assist web developers in their actions.[4] On the left, a sidebar allows users to integrate external resources such as external CSS stylesheets and external JavaScript libraries. The most popular JavaScript frameworks and CSS frameworks are suggested to users and available via a click.
The words can be publicly saved, multiple times, for free, with each version being saved online on URL address with an incremental numbered suffix. The work can therefor be re-accessed later or shared with other parties, still editable into a new different version, or forked into a new line.
JSFiddle is widely used among web developer sharing simple tests or demos. JSFiddle is also widely used on Stackoverflow, the dominant question-answer online forum for the web industry.
History
In 2009, JSFiddle's predecessor, MooShell, was created by Piotr Zalewa as a website application which was exclusive to the MooTools community.[5] In 2010, Oskar Krawcyzk joined the project as a developer, and the platform was made freely available under the name of JSFiddle.[5]
In 2016, JSFiddle underwent a full platform overhaul and became ad-sponsored.[5] In 2017, Michał Laskowski and Andrzej Kała joined the company.[citation needed]
