Before you choose
Choose where the editor runs
The listed platforms include web, self-hosted deployments, APIs, iOS, Android and a browser extension. Match the deployment option to where your product will run and how you plan to integrate the editor.
A web editor and an API can serve different project needs. Check the deployment details for the tool you are considering.
Check content and framework fit
Compare framework support and structured content against the needs of your app. An editor built around the content structure you need can be easier to fit into a project.
Some options include Editor.js, ProseMirror and MDXEditor. Confirm their current maker-published details for your intended use.
