CodeMirror vs Docker: What are the differences?
Developers describe CodeMirror as "In-browser code editor used in the dev tools for both Firefox and Chrome, Light Table, Adobe Brackets, Bitbucket, and many other projects". CodeMirror is a JavaScript component that provides a code editor in the browser. When a mode is available for the language you are coding in, it will color your code, and optionally help with indentation. On the other hand, Docker is detailed as "Enterprise Container Platform for High-Velocity Innovation". The Docker Platform is the industry-leading container platform for continuous, high-velocity innovation, enabling organizations to seamlessly build and share any application — from legacy to what comes next — and securely run them anywhere.
CodeMirror belongs to "Text Editor" category of the tech stack, while Docker can be primarily classified under "Virtual Machine Platforms & Containers".
Some of the features offered by CodeMirror are:
- Support for over 60 languages out of the box
- A powerful, composable language mode system
- Autocompletion (XML)
On the other hand, Docker provides the following key features:
- Integrated developer tools
- open, portable images
- shareable, reusable apps
"Integrable in your application" is the primary reason why developers consider CodeMirror over the competitors, whereas "Rapid integration and build up" was stated as the key factor in picking Docker.
CodeMirror and Docker are both open source tools. It seems that Docker with 54K GitHub stars and 15.6K forks on GitHub has more adoption than CodeMirror with 18K GitHub stars and 3.92K GitHub forks.
According to the StackShare community, Docker has a broader approval, being mentioned in 3526 company stacks & 3445 developers stacks; compared to CodeMirror, which is listed in 24 company stacks and 11 developer stacks.
lxd/lxc and Docker aren't congruent so this comparison needs a more detailed look; but in short I can say: the lxd-integrated administration of storage including zfs with its snapshot capabilities as well as the system container (multi-process) approach of lxc vs. the limited single-process container approach of Docker is the main reason I chose lxd over Docker.
