Visual Studio Code is an open source and cross-platform editor that supports Windows, Linux, and OS X. It is one of the powerful text editors that includes features such as navigation, keyboard support with customizable bindings, syntax highlighting, bracket matching, auto indentation, and snippets, with support for many programming languages. It has built-in support to IntelliSense code completion, richer semantic code understanding and navigation, and code refactoring. It provides a streamlined, integrated debugging experience, with support for Node.js debugging. It is a lighter version of Visual Studio. It doesn't contain any built-in development server, such as IIS Express. However, it is very important to test a web application in a local web server as part of the development process. There are several ways available in the market to set up a local web server.

However, I chose lite-server as it is a lightweight, development-only node server that serves the static content, detects changes, refreshes the browser, and offers many customizations. Lite-server is available as an NPM package for Node.js. First, we will see how to install Node.js in the next section.
