Presentation

JSFiddle is an online editor that allows the developer to test and share his achievements, from the simplest to the most complex, in HTML, CSS and Javascript languages.

A window is dedicated to each of the 3 languages while the 4th one displays the result corresponding to the processing of the coding windows:

Among the most useful features:

  • the embedded use of various Javascript frameworks: jQuery, YUI, ExtJS, ... ;
  • the possibility to reference external resources: a personal stylesheet or a specific version of a framework ;
  • the cleaning and testing of the code, respectively with TidyUp and JSHint.

Code sharing can be done through:

  • the URL aiming to access directly to the online editor
  • a direct post on social networks such as Facebook or Twitter
  • an iframe showing a preview of the code and the related result:
