Very often developers, especially those who are new to the field, ask if they can use Google and Stack Overflow to look for some syntax.
The answer, of course, is yes, they can – searching the web is a routine task of a good developer. Using Google does not make you a bad programmer. On the contrary, it makes you better and teaches you new things.
To make the situation even better for developers, Anthony Nguyen, a software developer from Queen University, created SyntaxDB.

On the website it is called “programming syntax database” and allows users to search for the desired query. Nguyen considers it very useful, especially for those who frequently visit Google to search for information about a programming language.
The home page of the website is very simple. Just type a language or a concept, and it automatically starts showing you the related suggestions. When you press enter, a results page will appear for the query you entered.
When you click on a concept, a brief description and the syntax will appear along with some related notes and examples. On the right in the sidebar, there are links to official documentation for more help.
Currently, SyntaxDB supports nine languages — Java, C, C++, C#, Python, Ruby, JavaScript, Swift, and Go.
SyntaxDB also offers integrations with DuckDuckGo, Slack, and Visual Studio Code to make coding even easier! There is also an API available that allows you to write your own integration.
In the near future, the website plans to provide more plugins for code editors and increase the size of the database as well as the number of programming languages.
