Lightweight file manager focusing as a code viewer and editor with syntax highlighting.

## Description

**Simple File Manager** allows you to swiftly browse through the directories and files in your WordPress installation. A good alternative for [File Manager](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-file-manager/), [Filester - File Manager Pro](https://wordpress.org/plugins/filester/) and [Advanced File Manager](https://wordpress.org/plugins/file-manager-advanced/) if your primary focus is viewing directory content and viewing / editing the code inside files. 

[CodeMirror](https://codemirror.net/) is used for highlighting syntax in files commonly used throughout the WordPress development cycle such as PHP, HTML, Javascript, CSS, JSON and Markdown files.

Simple File Manager is based on the [Simple File Manager](https://github.com/jcampbell1/simple-file-manager) library by [John Campbell](https://github.com/jcampbell1).
