General Questions
3 questions
The VS Code Extensions Directory is a curated collection of Visual Studio Code extensions organized by categories like Web Development, Cloud & DevOps, Database Tools, and more. It helps developers discover and evaluate extensions that can enhance their coding experience.
The directory is regularly updated to include new extensions and remove deprecated ones. We review and update our listings monthly to ensure all information, including download counts and ratings, remains current.
Extensions are categorized based on their primary function and use case. Many extensions might fit multiple categories, but we place them in the category where they provide the most value. The categories are carefully chosen to help developers find tools relevant to their specific needs.
