Microsoft's Visual Studio Code (VSCode) is gaining popularity as a lightweight, cross-platform editor built on web technologies with notable extensibility and speed. Among its features, the Cordova extension stands out by offering code IntelliSense for Cordova plugin APIs and robust debugging capabilities for hybrid apps. This extension enhances JavaScript development by automatically fetching type definition files for installed Cordova plugins, allowing developers to receive meaningful code hints without using TypeScript. Additionally, VSCode's integrated debugger simplifies the process of debugging Cordova apps by enabling breakpoint functionality directly within the editor, applicable to both simulators and physical devices. This streamlined development and debugging process is particularly beneficial for those working with both Cordova and Ionic projects, making VSCode a compelling choice for developers seeking efficient and powerful tools.
