What wangEditor is

wangEditor 5 is a free, open-source web rich text editor that developers can add to web projects. The maker describes it as ready to run with simple configuration and says a complete editor can be created with 10 lines of code. It works independently of third-party frameworks and can be used with jQuery, Vue, or React; official Vue and React components are available. Installation options include yarn, npm, or a CDN.

The editor can return HTML, text, or JSON content, with its documentation recommending HTML. Developers can configure toolbar menus, read-only mode, autofocus, scrolling, and maximum content length. Image uploads require a server address and can be configured for file size, count, types, headers, and credentials. Listed plugins cover mentions, formulas, Markdown, attachment uploads, link cards, and Ctrl+Enter line breaks. Chinese and English are included by default, with instructions for adding languages. It supports most PC browsers, including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge. Mobile viewing is supported, but mobile editing is not; Internet Explorer is also no longer supported.
