Developers in need of a text editor framework to create rich text composition experiences
About Draft.js
We provide the building blocks to enable the creation of a broad variety of rich text composition experiences, from basic text styles to embedded media. Draft.js fits seamlessly into React applications, abstracting away the details of rendering, selection, and input behavior with a familiar declarative API. The Draft.js model is built with immutable-js, offering an API with functional state updates and aggressively leveraging data persistence for scalable memory usage. Draft.js is a framework for building rich text editors in React, powered by an immutable model and abstracting over cross-browser differences. Draft.js allows you to build any type of rich text input, whether you're only looking to support a few inline text styles or building a complex text editor for composing long-form articles. Draft.js is distributed via npm. It depends on React and React DOM which must also be installed.

Slate
Slate is a completely customizable framework for building rich text editors. Slate lets you build rich, intuitive editors like those in Medium, Dropbox Paper or Google Docs, which are becoming table stakes for applications on the web, without your codebase getting mired in complexity. It can do this because all of its logic is implemented with a series of plugins, so you aren't ever constrained by what is or isn't in "core". You can think of it like a pluggable implementation of contenteditable built on top of React. It was inspired by libraries like Draft.js, Prosemirror and Quill. Slate is currently in beta. Its core API is usable now, but you might need to pull request fixes for advanced use cases. Some of its APIs are not "finalized" and will (breaking) change over time as we find better solutions. The most important part of Slate is that plugins are first-class entities.

Editor.js
Next generation block styled editor. Meet the new editor, on our webpage you can see it in action. It is a block-styled editor, it returns clean data output in JSON, and it is designed to be extendable and pluggable with a simple API. Workspace in classic editors is made of a single contenteditable element, used to create different HTML markups. Editor.js workspace consists of separate Blocks: paragraphs, headings, images, lists, quotes, etc. Each of them is an independent contenteditable element (or more complex structure) provided by Plugin and united by Editor's Core. There are dozens of ready-to-use Blocks and the simple API for creation any Block you need. For example, you can implement Blocks for Tweets, Instagram posts, surveys and polls, CTA-buttons and even games. Classic WYSIWYG-editors produce raw HTML-markup with both content data and content appearance. On the contrary, Editor.js outputs JSON object with data of each Block.
