Abstract :
The Internet is expanding quickly, and many desktop apps are already being developed for the online. Using the Internet, many apps may be easily accessible at any time and from any location. Code editors are one of the tools that developers require to design their applications. The goal of this research is to employ web socket technology to build and develop a real-time code editor application that facilitates user collaboration while working on the project. Users of this program can work together in real time on a project thanks to its capability. The authors employed an analysis process that includes studying the literature, and studying the code editor software that are currently in use. CrossCode is a web application that offers a workspace for creating, performing, and collaborating with other users in real-time over the terminal. The primary functionalities of the application include a workspace for creating, running, and building source code as well as real-time chat and terminal building. The programming languages C, C++, Python, and Java are supported by this application. The current research contributes to the advancement of online code collaboration tools, providing developers with an efficient and accessible platform for remote teamwork and code sharing.
