## What it is
SunEditor is a lightweight, dependency-free WYSIWYG rich text editor written in vanilla JavaScript with a modular plugin architecture. It integrates easily with React, Vue, Angular, Svelte, and plain HTML, offering 30+ plugins including tables, mentions, code blocks, media galleries, and Markdown mode.

## Use cases
- add a rich text editor to a web form
- embed a WYSIWYG editor in React or Vue
- lightweight contenteditable HTML editor with no dependencies
- let users write articles or documentation in the browser
- edit content as markdown with a WYSIWYG toolbar
- add image and video upload to a text editor

## When to choose
- you need a zero-dependency, fast-loading rich text editor
- you want modular plugins so you only ship what you use
- you need framework-agnostic integration (React, Vue, Angular, Svelte, Web Components)
- you need RTL support and multiple languages out of the box

## When to avoid
- you need raw arbitrary HTML editing rather than structured content
- you need a fully collaborative real-time multi-user editor
- you require a React-native or mobile-native editor
