Summernote is a JavaScript WYSIWYG rich text editor library built on jQuery with Bootstrap 3/4/5 support. It replaces a div element with an intuitive editing interface and provides APIs for retrieving and manipulating the underlying HTML content.
Use cases
- add a rich text editor to a web form
- let users write formatted HTML content in the browser
- embed a WYSIWYG editor in a CMS or blog admin panel
- edit content inline on a page with air-mode
- get HTML source from a browser-based text editor
- integrate a lightweight editor with Bootstrap styling
When to choose
- you need a simple, lightweight WYSIWYG editor with minimal setup
- your project already uses jQuery and Bootstrap
- you want easy image embedding via base64 without server-side image management
- you need a mature MIT-licensed editor with a plugin ecosystem
When to avoid
- you want a modern framework-native editor without jQuery dependencies
- you need collaborative real-time editing
- you cannot sanitize HTML server-side and cannot tolerate code injection risk
- you need a headless or fully customizable editor architecture
