Development Console

The ZeyOS Development Console is a browser-based code editor built into the ZeyOS platform. It allows you to write and execute iXML scripts directly on a running ZeyOS instance without installing any local tools.

What the Development Console provides​

  • Code editor — a syntax-aware editor for writing iXML directly in the browser, with basic highlighting and validation.
  • Direct execution — run iXML snippets against the current instance and see output immediately.
  • Debug output — view debug:output and debug:dump messages alongside your script's regular output.
  • Quick iteration — test ideas, debug issues, and explore the iXML API without leaving the browser.

When to use the Development Console​

The Development Console is ideal for:

  • Learning iXML — experiment with language features and see results instantly.
  • Quick debugging — run diagnostic queries or inspect data on a live instance.
  • Prototyping — test a snippet before integrating it into an application.
  • Ad-hoc operations — run one-off data queries or transformations.

For building full applications with version control and multi-instance deployment, use the SDK instead.

Example​

A simple snippet in the Development Console:

XML
<set var="greeting">Hello from the Development Console</set>
<output>$greeting</output>

Running this produces the output Hello from the Development Console directly in the browser.
