As a web developer, having a place to quickly test code or work on an
idea before going live might be very important. As time go by, more
online code editors are created that can help you code from any computer
with internet access. These tools let you combine CSS, HTML and often
even JavaScript to create and share coding examples.
Below you
will find some useful free code playgrounds and sandboxing tools for
testing, debugging and sharing your code snippets.
CSSDesk
CSSDesk is a very simple tool
that focuses purely on HTML and CSS. It consist of three resizeable
sections: HTML, CSS and live preview. You have the option of changing
the background of the preview pane, which is useful when you have a hard
time scoping out the outcome of your CSS/HTML work due to low
foreground/background contrast.
In addition, you can also turn on
or off the syntax highlighting function and there’s no effort or setup
here, just load the page and start creating.
JSBin
JSBin
is a browser-based user interface where you can enter: your HTML
markup, CSS, JavaScript, and get immediate feedback based on your code.
In addition, you can optionally include any number of popular frameworks
into your onscreen code, allowing you to leverage the framework's
capabilities as well. The main benefit is the real-time feedback you get
from the updates you make.
Another cool feature is the ability
to control which panes you see by manipulating the URL. For instance,
“http://jsbin.com/#javascript,html,live” will get you all three panes
while “http://jsbin.com/#html,live” will get you two.
Another
important feature is the ability to create your own JSBin account where
you can save your bins for future reference and sharing. Registration is
simple and you can even leverage your Github credentials via Github's
OAuth functionality.
jsFiddle
JS
Fiddle is probably the most popular free sandbox tool for HTML, CSS and
JS that has a wonderful set of features: it supports the inclusion of
libraries such as
Prototype and jQuery. You can include additional
external resources to JS/CSS files into each testing document.
Incredibly this tool also supports XHR Ajax where you can pass data
back-and-forth between the server and client browser window.
There’s
also a command for running JSLint that can check your JavaScript for
code quality and the "Tidy Up" code-formatting command for re-indenting
your code. The source code of this open source web tool is available on GitHub. jsFiddle
offers a short URL which you can share around the Web via Twitter,
Facebook, even Stack.
Codepen
One
of my favorite code snippets playground has recently become CodePen.
It's probably the most popular code snippet editor available on the web.
CodePen
is great for testing out bugs, collaborating, and finding new
inspiration. It works by allowing you to create “pens”, which are sets
of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. You can then display those pens on your
profile, take feedback, and continue to edit those pens at any time.
CodePen
includes some awesome features to write CSS faster. You can select to
include Normalize.css or Reset.css in your CSS by
simply clicking a radio button. You can also
choose to use -prefix-free or Autoprefixer as well. This way there is no
need to take the time to link to an external file (which is also
possible, if you wanted to).
Codepad
Originally
created by Steven Hazel, Codepad is a web-based compiler/interpreter
for server-side and software programming languages like PHP, C++ and
more.
The output screen displays any error messages associated
with your code, and I believe any software engineer who need to
collaborate and debug their more confusing programs will find Codepad
very useful.
Jsdo.it
This is an online editor where you can try running your codes as you write. You can save your codes online as well as show them to the public as your work.
It has a slick interface, an auto-updating preview
pane and the ability to include open source JS libraries. One unique
feature is the "Smart phone preview" command that opens a new browser
window with the viewport sized equivalently to mobile phones.
The
registration process requires connecting into any other social network
such as Facebook, Twitter, Google, or Github. Select a username, then
you start coding.
Ideone
Ideone is a popular online compiler and debugging tool. It’s one of the best and most reliable options for snippet testing.
This tool allows you to compile secure code and execute it online in more than 60 programming languages.
Choose
a programming language, enter your source code and input data into text
boxes. Then check or uncheck run code (whether to execute your program)
and private (whether not to list your code in the recent codes page)
checkboxes, click the submit button and watch your snippet being
executed.
Practicode
Practicode is another online tool for editing
your code snippets with support for HTML, CSS and VBScript. Though it’s
meant to be used alongside their guides and tutorials for practicing
and testing code snippets while you’re reading their material, it can be
used for testing code snippets as well.
Dabblet
Dabblet,
created by Lea Verou, is an “interactive playground” for trying out
snippets of CSS and HTML code. It uses -prefix-free, so that you won’t
have to add any prefixes in your CSS code, and you can save your work in
Github gists, embed it into other websites or share it with others.
You
can change things up with the controls shown below. The split can be
vertical, horizontal or taken out completely. There’s also an
interesting “behind code” mode where your result is simply the
background for the coding area.
Liveweave
Liveweave
lets you write HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript and test them in real-time,
code hinting feature will guide you to write HTML5 and CSS3 in proper
syntax, quadrant panels to help you adjust your HTML5, CSS3 and
JavaScript Window Sizes, according to your needs and many more.
It
has resizable panels, so that you can write your code (or weave, as we
call it) the way you want. Liveweave also has built-in context-sensitive
code-hinting for HTML5 and CSS3 tags/attributes, that makes life a lot
easier.
RegExr
RegExr is a
HTML/JS based tool for creating, testing, and learning about Regular
Expressions (RegExp/RegEx). It provides a simple interface to enter
RegEx expressions, and visualize matches in real-time editable source
text.
You can play with regexr in a helpful environment and make sure your syntax is correct before pushing it live.
Pastebin
A
tool created by Paul Dixon, then sold to Jeroen Vader, a Dutch serial
Internet entrepreneur. Pastebin is a simple and clutter-free HTML/JS
open source sandbox tool.
Tinkerbin
Tinkerbin
lets you play around with HTML, JavaScript and CSS without creating
files or uploading to servers. It also supports CoffeeScript, Sass (with
Compass), Less, HAML, and more.
It also has keyboard shortcuts
that conveniently allow you to navigate efficiently between tabs and
code panes. The auto-updating preview pane is a bonus. Plus in the case
of the HTML, Tinkerbin will even highlight tags that aren’t matched.
Google Code Playground
Google
Code Playground is a sandbox tool that gives you the ability to test
and experiment with Google’s awesome APIs. When I talk about APIs I mean
that you can pull data from the biggest Google products. Listing blog
posts from Blogger, markers from Google Maps, and even video players
directly from YouTube. As you click through these different examples the
live preview box will update accordingly.
The simple Google Code
Playground interface has three main areas of the screen. The "Pick An
API": this menu provides access to Google's numerous APIs. When an item
is selected (clicked) in the menu, relevant code appears in the "Edit
Code" window and the code is automatically executed to fill the "Output"
window with the results of running the example code. Any changes/tweaks
made to the code are reflected in the Output window once you select the
Run Code button at the top of the Output window.
WriteCodeOnline
WriteCodeOnline offers a super simple tool that allow you to quickly test PHP and JavaScript code online.
To
use the tool, simply enter the code into the main text area and click
“run code”. This is particularly useful to run PHP, which would
otherwise require a local server which supports PHP.
D3.js Playground
D3.js
Playground allow you to play with the D3.js library
in an interactive manner. Every edit made (that results in valid code)
affects the playground in real-time. Because CSS is such an important
part of visualizations, you can edit CSS live, too.
Codeanywhere
Codeanywhere
is a code editor in a browser with an integrated ftp client, and all
popular web formats are supported (HTML, PHP, JavaScript, CSS, and XML).
It
enables developers to write colorized, syntax-checked code from
virtually any web browser on virtually any device, including iOS,
Android, Windows 8 and Blackberry. It offers support for most popular
web programming languages, and enables developers to collaborate in
real-time.
SQLFiddle
SQLFiddle is an online SQL
query processing tool. You can run your SQL statements online without
having a locally installed database. It works similarly to jsfiddle,
except for SQL database syntax.
This site offers support for lot
of popular databases, allows you to build your database schema online
and execute SQL query on the fly. It's a great resource to learn and
practice SQL queries online. Apart from many sweet feature, it also
allows you to share your problem with community. If you are writing a
complex query and stuck in middle, looking for help, you can create your
schema on SQLFiddle and can share with your query to any forum or
question answer website like StackOverFlow or any forum.
HTML5 Playground
The HTML5 Playground is a tool developed by HTML5Rocks, it provides
developers with a web based code editor, and a library of sample code
and snippets to use as starting points for creating HTML5 based apps.
Any developer can use these sample code example to modify or build their
own code. Also this tool allows developers to preview their code
instantly, and share it via a permalink, and/or other social networking
tools.
HTML Code Editor
This will be the last tool on
the list, and it's developed by us. Though this tool might not have some
feature like other above listed option, but you can find it very useful
when you need a simple tool to test your CSS and HTML before including
it to your project. As time goes, we intend to improve the tool
functionality.
Personally, I find myself hanging out mostly in
codepen and jsfiddle. Do you have a favorite web-based sandboxing tool
not mentioned above? Or, is there another must-use tool I don't include?
Feel free to share it in the comment section.

My favourite tools to Test Code Snippets are JSBin and jsFiddle. The real-time feedback you get from the updates you make and supports the inclusion of libraries such as
