Online Javascript Editors

Javascript Code contributes to major chunk of Front End applications today.Running the application server and deploying the application is time consuming and Often not needed, for testing JavaScript/CSS changes.
A Standalone editor where we can test the HTML with Jacascript/CSS code will fit the need.Some of the online editors which i have personally used are

1.jsFiddle
2.plunker

jsFiddle:

JSFiddle allows me to quickly share an single example of some working code, mainly a jQuery snippet.
Put the HTML in the HTML area, the CSS in the CSS area, and the JavaScript in the JavaScript area
Press Run and see if the result is demonstrating the problem, adjust as needed to make the problem very clear.

Plunkr

Talking from own experience, I find that Plunkr allows me to describe a larger example of functional Angular.js code than JSFiddle.  It also gives me better feedback and real-time previews as I type. 


Plunkr allows creating an arbitrary number of files, while JSFiddle restrict you to one HTML + one CSS + one JS. Plunkr also allows downloading the project as a ZIP.

It's a way to support an angular project: plunkr is written entirely in AngularJS!
