## What it is
MDXEditor is an open-source React component providing a rich text WYSIWYG editor for markdown and MDX documents, built on the Lexical framework. It supports tables, images, code blocks with CodeMirror, front-matter, links, JSX components, and a customizable plugin-based toolbar.

## Use cases
- embed a markdown editor in a React CMS
- let users author markdown docs with a Notion-like WYSIWYG interface
- edit MDX/JSX components visually in a documentation site
- add image upload and paste support to a markdown editing form
- edit markdown tables and front-matter in a headless CMS
- replace edit-preview toggle with a single WYSIWYG markdown editor

## When to choose
- you need a React markdown/MDX editor with rich text UX
- you want plugin-based customization (tables, code blocks, images, front-matter)
- you're building a CMS or docs authoring tool in React

## When to avoid
- you need server-side rendering without client-only workarounds
- your project is not React-based
- you need a plain source-code markdown editor without WYSIWYG
