Third Party Tools

One important aspect of the Altinn Studio is that we encourage to use third party development tools to create and modify applications.

Since application code and config is versioned in Altinn Studio Repos and that is a GIT based source control any development tool with GIT support can clone application repository to local develoment machine.

In addition the application is based on a asp.net core web application that is supported in tools like Visual Studio Code.

The following tools are examples on tools that you as a developer can install and use for application development.
