Abstract

In today's digital age, software development has become an integral part of various industries and applications. Integrated Development Environments (IDEs) play a pivotal role in facilitating and enhancing the coding experience by providing programmers with tools for code editing, debugging, and project management. In this paper we mentioned the hypothesis of how to create a Lightweight Cross-Platform desktop based integrated Development Environment using the Code Mirror library, a versatile and customizable JavaScript library for code editing. In this paper we write a different research paper’s summary which supporting us in developing Lightweight IDE with different ways and features. Furthermore, the Paper discusses the technologies utilized in this project and proposed applications of the IDE across different domains. Moreover, the paper outlines the architecture flow of lightweight IDE. Our project addresses the need for a user-friendly, Cross-Platform desktop based IDE that caters to the diverse requirements of software developers. The Code Mirror library serves as the foundation for our IDE, enabling features such as syntax highlighting, code folding, auto-completion, and theme customization. Users will be able to write, edit, and debug code efficiently, regardless of their choice of programming language and aesthetic preferences.
