Powered by open source projects [Zowe](https://www.zowe.org/) and [Che](https://www.eclipse.org/che/). Many of these extensions, and other mainframe-oriented innovations, are also available as part of open source [Eclipse Che4z subproject](https://github.com/eclipse/che-che4z).

## How Does It Work?
10+
11+
Code4z extensions utilize language servers that are fully compatible with the [Language Server Protocol Specification](https://microsoft.github.io/language-server-protocol/specification). Additional editor extensions simplify your common workflows and enable you to work with COBOL and HLASM code in the same way you work with other languages in Visual Studio Code.
