Editor.js is an open-source, block-style rich text editor for the web that outputs clean JSON instead of HTML markup. It is highly extensible, with each content block (paragraphs, headings, images, lists, etc.) provided by a separate plugin via a well-designed API.

Use cases

• embed a block-based rich text editor in a web app
• store user-generated content as structured JSON instead of HTML
• build a CMS or blogging platform with a modern editing UI
• create custom editor block tools via a plugin API
• render editor content across web, mobile, and chatbots from one data format
• sanitize and validate rich content safely

When to choose

• you need structured JSON content output rather than messy HTML
• you want a modern, block-style editing experience out of the box
• you need to extend the editor with custom block or inline tools
• you plan to reuse content across multiple platforms (web, mobile, AMP, bots)

When to avoid

• you need a traditional single-contenteditable WYSIWYG producing HTML
• you require a full-featured document editor like Google Docs
• your project depends on non-JavaScript environments without a browser
