Development Environment
There are two ways to create and run iXML scripts in ZeyOS:
- ZeyOS Development Console — a browser-based code editor built into ZeyOS for writing, testing, and debugging iXML directly in the platform.
- ZeyOS SDK (
zeysdk) — a command-line toolkit for local development, version control, and deployment workflows.
Both approaches execute iXML against the same ZeyOS runtime, so the language behavior is identical. The difference is in the development workflow.
Choose the Development Console when you want to:
- Quickly test a snippet or explore a concept
- Debug an issue on a running instance
- Make small changes without setting up a local environment
Choose the SDK when you want to:
- Develop full applications with multiple services and resources
- Use version control (git) for your codebase
- Work in your preferred IDE with XML/iXML schema support
- Deploy across multiple instances
