Ace (fromAjax.org Cloud9 Editor) is a standalone code editor written inJavaScript. The goal is to create a web-based code editor that matches and extends the features, usability, and performance of existing native editors such asTextMate,Vim, orEclipse. It can be easily embedded in any web page and JavaScript application. Ace is developed as the primary editor forCloud9 IDE and as the successor of theMozilla Skywriter project.[4]

Known asAce (Ajax.org Cloud9 Editor), it was previously known asBespin then laterSkywriter. Bespin and Ace started as two independent projects both aiming to build a no-compromisecode editor component for the web. Bespin started as part ofMozilla Labs and was based on the<canvas> html tag, while Ace is the Editor component of theCloud9 IDE and is using theDOM for rendering. After the release of Ace at JSConf.eu 2010, in Berlin, the Skywriter team decided to merge Ace with a simplified version of Skywriter's plugin system and some of Skywriter's extensibility points. All these changes were merged back to Ace, which supersedes Skywriter. BothAjax.org andMozilla are actively developing and maintaining Ace.
