Draft.js
Draft.js is a React-based rich text editor framework developed by Facebook for building customizable text editors in web applications. It provides a flexible architecture for handling rich text content, including features like formatting, lists, and media embeds, using an immutable data model. It is designed to integrate seamlessly with React applications, offering a declarative API for managing editor state and content.
Developers should use Draft.js when building complex text editors in React applications that require rich formatting, custom plugins, or real-time collaboration features, such as in content management systems, blogging platforms, or collaborative tools like Google Docs. It is ideal for scenarios where fine-grained control over editor behavior and content structure is needed, as it allows for extensibility through custom components and decorators. However, it may be overkill for simple text inputs where basic HTML textareas or lightweight libraries suffice.
