CKEditor 5 is a rich-text editor framework for JavaScript, written in TypeScript and built from packages that each add a feature. It uses an MVC architecture and a custom data model. The README describes editors ranging from document editors similar to Google Docs to chat-style inputs, and it names collaboration support among its features.
An editor is installed from npm, loaded from a CDN, or copied into a project as a ZIP file. The getting started guide also covers integrations with Angular, React and Vue.
Worth knowing
The framework is offered under the GPL or under a commercial license from CKSource. The licensing page names paid Premium features under the commercial license, and the documentation marks many features as premium.
