ShareJS is a server and client library for concurrent collaborative editing of text and JSON documents using operational transformation (OT). It has been superseded by ShareDB and is no longer maintained.
Use cases
- add real-time collaborative editing to a web app
- sync shared JSON documents between multiple clients
- build a collaborative text editor
- implement concurrent editing with operational transform
- let multiple users edit the same document simultaneously
When to choose
- you need a proven OT-based collaboration library for a legacy NodeJS stack
- you want collaborative editing over plain text or JSON with browser and Node clients
When to avoid
- you are starting a new project - use ShareDB instead
- you need actively maintained software or recent security fixes
- you need OT types beyond text and JSON
