Brackets

Brackets is an open-source text editor designed specifically for front-end web developers. It features live preview, allowing you to see changes to HTML, CSS, and JavaScript instantly in a browser without reloading. Built with web technologies itself, it supports inline editing—edit styles or scripts directly from the preview. Extensions add functionality like syntax highlighting for diverse languages, linting, and version control. Lightweight and intuitive, it’s ideal for beginners but lacks robust support for backend languages. Initially developed by Adobe, it’s now community-maintained.
