CodeMirror is a versatile text editor implemented in JavaScript for the browser. It is specialized for editing code, and comes with a number of language modes and addons that implement more advanced editing functionality.

A rich programming API and a CSS theming system are available for customizing CodeMirror to fit your application, and extending it with new functionality.

## Community

CodeMirror is an open-source project shared under an MIT license. It is the editor used in the dev tools for Firefox, Chrome, and Safari, in Light Table, Adobe Brackets, Bitbucket, and many other projects.

Development and bug tracking happens on github (alternate git repository). Please read these pointers before submitting a bug. Use pull requests to submit patches. All contributions must be released under the same MIT license that CodeMirror uses.

Discussion around the project is done on a discussion forum. Announcements related to the project, such as new versions, are posted in the forum's "announce" category. If needed, you can contact the maintainer directly. We aim to be an inclusive, welcoming community. To make that explicit, we have a code of conduct that applies to communication around the project.

## Browser support

The desktop versions of the following browsers, in standards mode (HTML5 `<!doctype html>` recommended) are supported:

Firefox | version 4 and up
Chrome | any version
Safari | version 5.2 and up

Support for modern mobile browsers is experimental. Recent versions of the iOS browser and Chrome on Android should work pretty well.
