We are excited to announce the release of ZK CKEditor Wrapper 5.44.1.0, designed to keep pace with the latest developments in the CKEditor ecosystem and ensure compatibility with CKEditor versions from v39 through v44.
Background
CKEditor has long been celebrated as one of the most popular text editors, offering a rich and WYSIWYG experience to countless users. Within the ZK ecosystem, we’ve provided seamless integration since CKEditor version 3, allowing users to leverage its power through ZK’s Java API with built-in features like a file server and customizable configurations.
With the advent of CKEditor 5, this next-generation editor brings significant improvements, such as:
- AI support for enhanced productivity.
- Real-time collaboration for teams.
- A more modern interface with cloud service integration.
The transition to CKEditor 5 introduces a fully redesigned architecture, and ZK CKEditor Wrapper 5 was made using a wrapper approach to help you smoothly adopt these exciting features.
- The ZK CKEditor 5 Wrapper simplifies the integration of CKEditor 5 for ZK users, enabling seamless use of CKEditor 5 within the ZK framework using Java.
- Note that CKEditor 5 (the editor’s core JavaScript library) has a different license than CKEditor 4. Visit the official CKEditor website for details.
Why Upgrade to version 5?
