Description

Theia IDE (eclipse-theia) is an Eclipse Foundation-built cloud and desktop IDE framework, aiming to replace Microsoft's Visual Studio Code. Theia is fully open-source and developed by a diversified developer community. As a cloud IDE, Theia will be divided into two separate processes, one front-end and one back-end, communicating through Websockets' JSON-RPC messages or HTTP's REST API. As a desktop IDE, both front-end and back-end run locally. The official mentioned that Theia can be used as an alternative to Visual Studio Code, and its interface is extremely similar to Visual Studio Code.
