Xanadu	Work in an IDE based on Visual Studio Code for the Web Create and develop applications in a familiar integrated development environment based on Visual Studio Code for the Web. The ServiceNow IDE has many of the same features as Visual Studio Code, including type safety, IntelliSense, dependency enforcement, code search, and source control integration. Build scoped applications in source code Write source code to define the metadata that makes up applications using ServiceNow Fluent. ServiceNow Fluent is a domain-specific programming language with APIs for defining the different types of application metadata. Developing applications in source code enables you to work in familiar development environments, create and modify complex applications, manage code in source control more easily, and catch errors at build time. Language processing and validation for ServiceNow Fluent is included in the ServiceNow IDE by default. Create and use JavaScript modules and third-party libraries Organize and reuse code within scoped applications with custom JavaScript modules and third-party JavaScript utilities. Collaborate on applications with users of different skill sets Collaborate on an application with users of different skill sets at the same time from the ServiceNow IDE and other ServiceNow AI Platform builder tools and interfaces. Developers build applications to compile source files into metadata, which they can view in embedded ServiceNow AI Platform user interfaces. Developers can synchronize applications to pull in changes to application metadata from other interfaces into source code. Manage applications in source control Integrate with remote Git repositories to use source control in the ServiceNow IDE. Use basic authentication or OAuth 2.0 to connect to remote Git providers and repositories.
Yokohama	Convert scoped applications for use in the ServiceNow IDE Convert existing scoped applications to support development in source code in the ServiceNow IDE. Use TypeScript in JavaScript modules Create an application that uses the TypeScript template to use TypeScript in modules and compile them to JavaScript when building your application. Use npm packages from private registries as third-party libraries Install npm packages from a private registry to use as third-party libraries in your application. Switch between development experiences Work in the right environment for your task by using the experience switcher to switch between developing in ServiceNow IDE, ServiceNow Studio, and Creator Studio.
