About Notepad++
Notepad++ is a free source code editor designed as a replacement for Notepad that runs on Microsoft Windows. It supports multiple programming languages and is built on Scintilla, a powerful editing component. The editor is written in C++ using pure Win32 API and STL, which the developer optimized to achieve both fast execution and a small program footprint. The tool emphasizes efficiency, aiming to reduce CPU power consumption and lower environmental impact.
Developed by Don Ho, Notepad++ is distributed under the GNU General Public License. It provides syntax highlighting, code folding, and other features typical of source code editors, while maintaining a lightweight footprint compared to heavier integrated development environments. The tool remains actively maintained and available as a free download for Windows users.
