Key Components
Neo Smart Contract Debugger
Fully integrated Smart Contract debugging experience inside of Visual Studio Code
Neo Express
Real-world PrivateNet - enabling complete end-to-end scenarios for Neo 2.x and
Neo 3.0, built on top of the Neo MainNet codebase
Manage Neo Express for multiple nodes and multiple developers from within Visual
Studio Code or using command-line utilities
Enhanced operations for developer scenarios. e.g. Snapshot/Rollback/FastForward/Replay etc.
Neo Visual DevTracker
Explore public and private Neo blockchains from within Visual Studio Code
Transfer assets, claim GAS, deploy and invoke smart contracts on public and
private Neo blockchains from withing Visual Studio Code
Create and manage Neo Express instances from within Visual Studio Code
NEON Smart Contract Compiler
Enhanced Compiler with metadata to map .NET source code to NeoVM byte code and
function variables/arguments information etc.
Create, Edit, Compile, Debug, Test, and Deploy Smart Contracts on both Neo 2.x
and Neo 3.0 from within Visual Studio Code
Smart Contract Templates in .NET languages
Friction-free templates and guidance for developer productivity
Real-World production quality Smart Contract Development in minutes
Neo-FX Library
Unified Programming Model for a consistent and highly productive developer
experience spanning remote, node and contract SDKs.
Neo-FX will provide a common set of fundamental types (such as large unsigned
integers for hash values and elliptic curves for cryptography), domain models
(such as blocks and transactions) and service abstractions (such as retrieving
a transaction or invoking a smart contract).
By using these common set of types across SDKs, developers will be able to move
their code between SDKs, ensuring they can run their code in the manner that
makes most sense for their blockchain application.
