Adobe Brackets is an HTML editor for developing web applications . It is mainly written in HTML , CSS and JavaScript and was launched by Adobe as a community project. Brackets is an open source project licensed under the MIT license and maintained on GitHub . The milestone of Release 1.0 was only reached more than three years after the start of the project in early November 2014. Brackets is available for download for Windows , macOS and Linux .

Behind the scenes, Brackets uses a number of third-party open-source projects, including jQuery , Less , RequireJS , Lodash , Mustache, and CodeMirror, as the actual code editor. The Chromium Embedded Framework is used for the display on the desktop in order to enable a display that is as similar as possible on different platforms. A live preview is currently only possible with Google Chrome.

Brackets supports extensions that add more functionality. At the moment there are extensions for debugging or for adding browser-specific CSS prefixes, but also linters and tools for auto-completion . It has a live display, that is, when the user enters something new in the editor, the browser updates with the website currently being edited and the new feature appears.
