## What it is
Draft.js is a JavaScript framework for building rich text editors in React, backed by an immutable editor state model. It provides declarative building blocks for text styling, entities, and custom block rendering, and is now in maintenance mode with Lexical as its successor.

## Use cases
- build a rich text editor in React
- add WYSIWYG comment or status input to a web app
- create a long-form article composer with inline styles
- implement custom text editor blocks like embedded media
- build a notes editor with controlled editor state
- handle cross-browser contenteditable differences

## When to choose
- maintaining an existing React app already built on Draft.js
- you need a mature, well-documented React rich text framework with an immutable state model

## When to avoid
- starting a new project - the repo is archived and only receives critical security patches
- you need accessibility and performance improvements - use Lexical instead
- you need non-React or framework-agnostic editor support

## Facets
- artifact type: framework
- maturity: abandoned
- function: frontend-framework, ui-components, state-management, editor
- domain: web-development, frontend, text-editors, developer-tools
