Features

Everything in the box, nothing behind a key

Built for developers who are tired of “free” editors with paid unlock screens.

Modern UX

Slash commands, markdown-as-you-type, @mentions, to-do lists, block drag-reorder.

Security-first

Input and output sanitized: XSS vectors, URL schemes, mXSS double-parse — adversarially tested.

Accessible

WCAG 2.1 AA statement backed by an axe-core sweep of every surface, in CI.

19 plugins in the box

Images, tables, links, embeds, find & replace, source view, code blocks, and more — all free.

Speaks your language

Spanish, French, German, Arabic packs included; full RTL; bring-your-own locale.

Framework-native

Official React, Vue, and Angular wrappers — caret-stable controlled modes, proven live.

Skeptical? Good. See the feature-by-feature comparison — every row links to live proof.

Getting started

Up and running in seconds

Install from npm and add two lines of code. The toolbar, status bar, and all styling are injected by the editor itself.

Terminal
$ npm i openeditor-text
app.js
import { OpenEditor } from 'openeditor-text';

const editor = new OpenEditor('#editor', {
  placeholder: 'Write something…',
});
