RichTextFX is a memory-efficient rich-text area control for JavaFX that supports styling ranges of text and embedding custom inline objects. It serves as a foundation for building rich text and code editors with features like syntax highlighting.
Use cases
- build a code editor with syntax highlighting in JavaFX
- style ranges of text in a JavaFX text area
- display custom objects inline in a text editor
- create a rich text editor on the JVM
- customize caret, selection, and scrolling behavior of a text area
When to choose
- you need a customizable styled text area in a JavaFX application
- you are building an IDE, code editor, or rich text editor on the JVM
- you want fine-grained control over text styling and inline content
When to avoid
- you need a full-featured editor with search-and-replace, syntax highlighters, or hyperlink support out of the box
- you are not using JavaFX
- you want an MVC-compliant text component
