What is Web Compiler?
It is a tool that makes your codes executable directly through your internet browser, without installing anything on your computer.
Overview
Traditionally, developing software required complex installations on your computer. The web compiler carries this process to the browser. It allows you to get instant results by processing the codes you write on cloud servers.
How it works
You open your browser, go to the relevant website, type your code and press 'run'. The system compiles your code in the background and shows you the result on your screen.
Where it is used
It is preferred on code learning platforms, when doing rapid prototyping or when your computer's hardware is insufficient.
Commonly confused with
Can be mixed with native compilers; The web compiler uses the internet while the local ones use your computer's power.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to keep a code file on my computer?
Usually no, your projects are stored in your cloud account.
What happens if my internet goes out?
Your code stops processing because the processing occurs on the remote server, not in the browser.
