GrapesJS: Open-Source Web Editor for Templates

GrapesJS is a multi-purpose web builder framework enabling drag-and-drop WYSIWYG editing of any HTML-like structure, from pages to emails and mobile app prototypes.
It outputs simple JSON by default and includes built-in export to HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, streamlining integration into production environments.
Designed for extensibility, it supports custom plugins, UI adjustments, and upcoming external data integration for dynamic content.

2. Initialize the Editor

   const editor = grapesjs.init({
     container: '#gjs',
