What's New in CKEditor 5?

  • Multiple editor types:

    • Classic
    • Inline (floating toolbar)
    • Balloon (pop-up tools),
    • Balloon Block (pop-up tools++),
    • Decoupled Document (save to PDF or print)

  • Custom data model to support real-time collaboration and minimize dealing with browser quirks

    • View → Model = Upcast

    • Model → View = Downcast

  • Everything is a plugin (but all v4 plugins have to be rewritten, much like with Drupal 8)

    • All plugins compiled together with core to create a single ckeditor.js file
