What is AvalonEdit?
AvalonEdit is a WPF-based text editor component originally developed for the SharpDevelop IDE. It provides advanced text editing features like syntax highlighting, code folding, and search functionality, making it suitable for integrating code editors into .NET applications. The component is designed to handle large documents efficiently while offering extensive customization options.
WPF developers building applications that require embedded code editors, syntax-aware text editing, or custom IDE-like interfaces. It's particularly useful for tools like decompilers, log viewers, and code analysis applications.
Developers choose AvalonEdit because it's a mature, battle-tested component used in production tools like ILSpy and SharpDevelop. It offers high performance with large files, comprehensive customization capabilities, and seamless integration into existing WPF projects without requiring extensive editor development from scratch.
