Cloud & Desktop
Not sure whether you need a web or desktop version or both?
With Theia you can develop one IDE and run it in browsers or native desktop application from a single source.
Vendor Neutral
The Theia project is hosted at the Eclipse Foundation, a not-for-profit corporation, and is developed by a diverse community.
Unlike other "open-source" projects, projects hosted at an Open-Source Foundation are protected against single-vendor decisions against the interest of the diverse community. Learn more here.
Extensible
Theia is designed in a modular way to allow extenders and adopters customizing and extending every aspect of it.
Composing a custom IDE-like product is as easy as listing all needed extensions in a package.json file. Adding new functionality by implementing your own extensions is easy, too and provides all the flexibility you need.
Theia versus VS Code
We believe VS Code is an excellent product. That is why Theia embraces many of the design decisions and even directly supports VS Code extensions.
- Theia's architecture is more modular and allows for way more customizations,
- Theia is designed from the ground to run on Desktop and Cloud, and
- Theia is developed under a vendor-neutral Open-Source Foundation.
Supports JavaScript, Java, Python and many more
