What is MarsCode?

MarsCode is a free AI programming tool launched by a company under ByteDance. It provides not only an AI-driven cloud-based integrated development environment (IDE) but also supports usage as an intelligent programming extension  for VS Code and JetBrains. Leveraging the DouBao large model and the DeepSeek full-capacity model, MarsCode offers features such as code completion, generation, and optimization through its AI assistant. It supports cloud function development and comes equipped with tools for API testing, storage, and deployment, capable of automatically generating JSON Schema. Additionally, the MarsCode extension supports mainstream programming languages and IDEs, providing auxiliary functions such as code editing, interpretation, comment generation, unit test generation, and error fixing. These features enhance coding efficiency and quality, covering a wide range of programming languages and frameworks including backend, frontend, and app development.
