Welcome to my session on DraftJS, EditJS, and SlideJS. We will discuss their strengths and data model, focusing on React's component and prop model. We will evaluate the editors based on their sustainability, funding, support, maturity, license, editor features, release cycle, data structure, ecosystem, browser support, usage, and GitHub stars. The first editor we'll discuss is Draft.js, which is used by Facebook Messenger, comments, status posts, and the Facebook Notes app. It's funded and supported by Facebook, has a version of 0.11.7, and requires custom code for additional features. The license is MIT. It's a bare metal, in terms of features. The release cycle is semantic version. The data structure is JSON. It's used by 83,000 packages and has 20,000 stars. The data model is made up of blocks with text and entities. It supports various editor features including block styles, inline styles, undo/redo, paste, lists, nested lists, media, and links. Editor.js is a block-based editor written in vanilla JavaScript. It has a 2.19 release, Apache 2.0 license, and a semver release cycle. The data structure is JSON, and there are numerous plugins available. It has 1,500 packages using it and 15,000 stars.
