JupyterLab is a highly extensible, feature-rich notebook authoring application and editing environment, and is a part of [Project Jupyter](https://docs.jupyter.org/en/latest/), a large umbrella project centered around the goal of providing tools (and [standards](https://docs.jupyter.org/en/latest/#sub-project-documentation)) for interactive computing with [computational notebooks](https://docs.jupyter.org/en/latest/#what-is-a-notebook). A [computational notebook](https://docs.jupyter.org/en/latest/#what-is-a-notebook) is a shareable document that combines computer code, plain language descriptions, data, rich visualizations like 3D models, charts, graphs and figures, and interactive controls. A notebook, along with an editor like JupyterLab, provides a fast interactive environment for prototyping and explaining code, exploring and visualizing data, and sharing ideas with others. JupyterLab is a sibling to other notebook authoring applications under the [Project Jupyter](https://docs.jupyter.org/en/latest/) umbrella, like [Jupyter Notebook](https://jupyter-notebook.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) and [Jupyter Desktop](https://github.com/jupyterlab/jupyterlab-desktop). JupyterLab offers a more advanced, feature rich, customizable experience compared to Jupyter Notebook. [Try JupyterLab on Binder](https://mybinder.org/v2/gh/jupyterlab/jupyterlab-demo/HEAD?urlpath=lab/tree/demo). JupyterLab follows the Jupyter [Community Guides](https://jupyter.readthedocs.io/en/latest/community/content-community.html). ```{image} ./images/jupyterlab.png :align: center :alt: true :class: jp-screenshot shadow ``` :::{only} comment Alt text is intentionally left blank because the image content is decorative. ::: See the sections below (and the top-level links above) for more information about using, extending, and contributing to JupyterLab. ```{toctree} :maxdepth: 2 getting_started/overview user/index extension/extension_dev developer/contributing API Reference ```
