CKEditor 5
The new member of the family CKEditor 5, has a different and modern approach to rich text than its predecessor has been written from scratch in ES6. It does not share many similarities with its sibling, except the name. CKEditor 5 has an MVC-based engine with a custom data model and virtual DOM. Its modular and plugin-based architecture is customizable.
CKEditor 5 has native integrations with Angular, React, Vue.js, npm, webpack, Electron, etc. CKEditor 5 also has many features like its predecessor, auto-formatting and paste from Word, mentions, placeholders, media embeds and tables…
Apart from these its most notable features are its premium collaborative editing features; real-time collaboration, track changes and comments which are powered by Operational Transformation. CKEditor 5 is available under GPL 2+. But if you are running a project with an OSS license incompatible with GPL 2+, you can contact them for a free CKEditor 5 license.
