Overview

Adding a rich text editor to a web application usually means choosing between a limited widget and building a complex editor from scratch. CKEditor 5 is a JavaScript rich-text editor framework written in TypeScript, built on an MVC architecture, a custom data model and a virtual DOM, so developers can assemble exactly the editing experience they need. The framework is modular: it ships with a large set of plugins covering tables, lists, font styles, images, media, comments, tracked changes, Markdown input and output, source editing and export to PDF or Word. Official builds include native type definitions, and integrations are available for Angular, React and Vue. A web-based builder and an AI coding agent skill help set up a customized package. CKEditor 5 suits teams building document-style editors, chat-like message composers or collaborative writing tools. It is distributed under a dual license: GNU GPL version 2 or later, or commercial terms from CKSource.
