Editable
Editable is a modular framework for building custom web-based rich text editors. It provides a structured environment for managing complex document content, including support for structured data like lists and grids, while maintaining an immutable tree representation to ensure predictable state manipulation.
The framework distinguishes itself through a collaborative engine that synchronizes document state across multiple users in real-time using operational transformation. It also features a plugin-based architecture that allows developers to intercept rendering and node behavior, enabling the injection of custom components and logic into the document structure.
The system includes a comprehensive toolkit for content transformation, facilitating the conversion of document data between HTML, Markdown, and plain text formats. It also incorporates a command-based history system to track user actions, providing precise undo and redo capabilities throughout the editing session.

- Editor Node Trees - Maps document nodes to UI components by decoupling the underlying data structure from the visual representation.
Star history
How this analysis was created: This summary and feature list were written by an AI model that read the project's README and public documentation pages. Each feature links to the documentation it came from; stars, license and language come straight from the GitHub API. The model does not read the source code, and the analysis is refreshed when the project is re-analysed. Learn more on our About page.
