Svedit: A Tiny Library for Building Rich Content Editors with Svelte

Svedit is a lightweight library designed for building editable websites using Svelte 5. It enables developers to model content in JSON, render it with custom Svelte components, and edit directly within the layout. Unlike traditional rich text editors that rely on linear character-based models, Svedit adopts a node-based approach, allowing for the combination of text-like content with structured, form-like elements.

The library offers features such as:

• Visual In-Place Editing: Edit content directly within the layout without switching contexts.
• Transactional Editing with Time Travel: Every change is safe and undoable, providing a robust editing experience.
• Unicode-Safe Input: Ensures correct handling of emojis, diacritics, and CJK characters.
• Node-Based Structure: Content is structured in a graph-like model, allowing for nested nodes and complex content representations.

Svedit is built by Michael Aufreiter and Johannes Mutter and is licensed under the MIT License. The library is currently in alpha, with ongoing development to enhance features and fix known issues.
