Which UI Framework does VS Code use?

[Kriegel]

HI,

I have investigated this question extensivly and even found no Forum for Visual Studio Code.

I am an Administrator with PowerShell no Programmer so please bear with me.

I like to develop an UI for PowerShell scripts with the Electron + Node.js + jquery + ?????
(Like shown here: https://xainey.github.io/2017/powershell-electron-demo/ )

For some reasons, like to use the same UI Framework like VS Code.

A sneak look into the source of Visual Studio Code it looks like VS Code uses mainly Bootstrap as UI Framewok ??????

Second: Please put this answer, also in the Documentation for Visual Studio Code.
Which i have searched for also.

Cheers Peter

I have read some code, I find vscode didn't use any UI framework but it's own.
I'm searching for why vscode don't use UI framework and find your question.
I think it might be a performance issue, because we know the markup-based, immutable, declarative ui is slower than a mutable object tree with imperative code style to describe a gui.

In famous framework as React/Vue, we write JSX/template to create an object tree to describe the view, then the runtime use that tree to generate a component tree combine with v-dom tree, and render it into browser.
JSX/template -> object tree -> v-dom tree + component tree -> dom
nextView = nextState -> new object tree -> patch v-dom tree -> diff -> patch dom.
It's much slower than
mutable tree -> dom
update tree -> update dom.
