    From the README

    The Monaco Editor is the fully featured code editor from VS Code. Check out the VS Code docs to see some of the supported features.

    Try out the editor and see various examples in our interactive playground.

    The playground is the best way to learn about how to use the editor, which features is supports, to try out different versions and to create minimal reproducible examples for bug reports.

    :warning: The monaco editor also ships an AMD build for backwards-compatibility reasons, but the AMD support is deprecated and will be removed in future versions.
