Jodit vs ProseMirror

Jodit is a TypeScript WYSIWYG editor for web, self-hosted, and API deployments. Its free MIT-licensed core includes more than 70 built-in plugins, custom toolbar and theming options, and semantic HTML output. The editor supports table editing and media handling, including images added by upload, URL, file browser, or base64 data URI, plus iframe, video, and audio elements. The maker describes Jodit as dependency-free with a minified size under 400 KB. Framework examples include React, Angular, Vue, Yii2, Joomla, TypeScript, and JavaScript, with integrations for elFinder, a Node.js connector, and AWS S3 uploads. Jodit PRO adds PDF export, Word and Excel paste, autocomplete, mentions, and a file finder. Self-hosted use collects no telemetry, and license validation runs locally. The free plan costs nothing.

ProseMirror is a toolkit for developers building rich-text editors on the web. It supports structured documents through a WYSIWYG-style interface while letting applications define document shape and content. Instead of treating a document as an HTML blob, it gives application code control over a custom data structure. Schemas and plugins provide ways to customize that structure and extend editor behavior. Four core modules handle the document model, editor state, view, and transformations; additional modules offer commands, key bindings, undo history, input macros, collaboration, and a basic schema. Multiple people can edit together in real time. Examples cover Markdown, image uploads, custom schemas, menus, code editors, footnotes, and track changes. ProseMirror is free, open source, and legally usable commercially; it can be self-hosted and is installed through npm. It works in recent Firefox, Chrome, Safari, and Edge versions, as well as Internet Explorer 11. It is a modular toolkit rather than a ready-made editor component, and implementation generally involves a bundler.
