HTML RTE vs JSON RTE

JSON RTE stores content in a structured plain-text format, allowing it to be read and processed by various programming languages. In contrast, HTML RTE stores content exclusively as HTML markup, which may reduce interoperability and flexibility across platforms.

Code Representation

The following examples illustrate the differences between content storage in HTML RTE and JSON RTE as displayed in the source code viewer:

HTML RTE:

<p>This RTE is amazing.</p>

JSON RTE:

{
  "json_rte": {
    "type": "doc",
    "attrs": {},
    "uid": "a52aa19f3af54a61a32f1724831dc084",
    "children": [
      {
        "type": "p",
        "attrs": {},
        "uid": "c0a9f4affcef4409b3d23857d35f863b",
        "children": [
          { "text": "This RTE is " },
          { "text": "amazing", "bold": true },
          { "text": "." }
        ]
      }
    ]
  }
}

HTML RTE vs JSON RTE

Unlike the HTML RTE, the JSON RTE does not include a source code viewer, simplifying content creation and minimizing the potential for coding errors.
