The MPLAB X IDE is the integrated development environment that enables the user to create a source file, edit, compile, simulate, debug, and send the generated code to the target microcontroller with the help of a compatible programmer/debugger device.
You can download the MPLAB X IDE from Microchip Inc. website.
For detailed information on MPLAB X IDE, check Microchip Inc. website.
The MPLAB XC8 Compiler is a C compiler developed for PIC10/12/16/18 family of microcontrollers. We also have versions for the 24-bit and 32-bit PIC microcontrollers.
The MPLAB XC8 compiler has three versions: Pro, Standard, and Free. The main difference between the different versions is the level of optimization applied during the compilation.
The XC8 compiler must be installed after installing the MPLAB X IDE. You can install MPLAB XC8 Compiler from the Microchip Inc. website.
