tiptap is a headless wrapper around [ProseMirror](https://ProseMirror.net) – a toolkit for building rich text WYSIWYG editors, which is already in use at many well-known companies such as *New York Times*, *The Guardian* or *Atlassian*.

Create exactly the rich text editor you want out of modular, and customizable building blocks. tiptap comes with sensible defaults, a lot of extensions and a friendly API to customize every aspect. It’s backed by a welcoming community, open source, and free.

## Features
**Headless.** We don’t tell you what a menu should look like or where it should be rendered in the DOM. That’s why tiptap is headless and comes without any CSS. You are in full control over markup and styling.

**Framework-agnostic.** We don’t care what framework you use. tiptap is ready to be used with plain JavaScript or Vue.js. That makes it even possible to write a renderer for React, Svelte and others.

**TypeScript.** tiptap 2 is written in TypeScript. That gives you a nice autocomplete for the API (if your IDE supports that), helps to find bugs early and makes it possible to generate [a complete API documentation](#) on top of the extensive human written documentation.
