- Overview
- --------
- *JupyterLab is the next-generation user interface for Project Jupyter*
- JupyterLab goes beyond the classic Jupyter Notebook by providing a
- flexible and :ref:`extensible <user_extensions>` web application with a set of reusable
- components. You can arrange multiple notebooks, text editors, terminals,
- output areas, and custom components using tabs/panels and collapsible
- sidebars. These :ref:`components <interface>` are carefully designed to enable you to use
- them together or on their own to support new workflows (for example, you
- can send code from a file to a :ref:`code console <code_console>` with a keystroke, or move
- cells around a :ref:`notebook <notebook>` or between notebooks with drag-and-drop).
- :ref:`JupyterLab has full support for Jupyter Notebook documents. <notebook>` In
- addition, it enables other models of interactive computing, such as:
- - :ref:`code_console` provide transient scratchpads for running code
- interactively, with full support for rich output.
- - :ref:`Kernel-backed documents <kernel-backed-documents>` enable code in any text file (Markdown,
- Python, R, LaTeX, etc.) to be run interactively in any Jupyter
- kernel.
- JupyterLab also offers a unified model for viewing and handling data
- formats. This enables data in many formats (images, CSV, JSON, Markdown,
- PDF, Vega, Vega-Lite, etc.) to be opened as a file or returned by a
- kernel as rich output. See :ref:`file-and-output-formats` for more
- information.
- To navigate the user interface, JupyterLab offers :ref:`customizable keyboard shortcuts <shortcuts>`
- and the ability to use key maps from vim, emacs, and Sublime Text.
- JupyterLab is served from the same
- `server <https://jupyter-notebook.readthedocs.io/en/stable/>`__ and uses
- the same `notebook document
- format <http://nbformat.readthedocs.io/en/latest/>`__ as the classic
- Jupyter Notebook.
