📄️ Code Editor
4D has a powerful built-in code editor that offers a wide set of features for highly productive code editing such as intelligent code completion, code navigation, debugging, searching, and more.
📄️ Dependencies
The 4D project architecture is modular. You can provide additional functionalities to your 4D projects by installing components and plug-ins. Components are made of 4D code, while plug-ins can be built using any language.
📄️ Compilation
You can compile your projects, i.e., translate all of your methods into machine language. Compiling a project lets you check the consistency of the code and accelerate its execution, as well as making it possible to obfuscate the code in its entirety. Compilation is an indispensable step between the development of projects using 4D and their deployment as stand-alone applications.

📄️ Application Builder
4D includes an application builder to create a project package (final build). This builder simplifies the finalization and deployment process for 4D compiled applications. It automatically handles the specific features of different operating systems and facilitates the deployment of client-server applications.
