## What it is
Quill is a modern WYSIWYG rich text editor library for the web, built for compatibility and extensibility with a JSON-based Delta document model. It works consistently across modern browsers and offers a simple API for content, changes, and events.

## Use cases
- embed a rich text editor in a web app
- wysiwyg editor for blog post writing
- customizable rich text editor with custom modules
- editor that outputs structured JSON content
- cross-browser rich text editing for forms
- build a comment box with formatting toolbar

## When to choose
- you need a mature, widely adopted rich text editor with strong cross-browser consistency
- you want programmatic access to editor content via a clean JSON-based API
- you need extensibility through custom modules, formats, and themes

## When to avoid
- you only need plain text input without formatting
- you need collaborative editing out of the box without additional OT/CRDT integration work
- you need a full document editor like Word rather than an embeddable web component

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: stable
- function: editor, ui-components, frontend-framework
- domain: web-development, frontend, text-editors, developer-tools
- platform: browser, cross-platform
