AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Froala, (a division of Idera, Inc.), a provider of software editing components for rich text and web applications, today announced the release of Froala Editor 3.0 with Smart Toolbar capabilities, the first high-performance WYSIWYG text editor to include responsive formatting controls built with the user experience in mind.
Rated by G2 Crowd as one of the top WYSIWYG text editors in the market, Froala is consistently recognized for its high ease of use (91%), ability to meet requirements (91%), and ease of setup and support (87%).
This latest release of Froala Editor features a new Smart Editor Toolbar that groups buttons into four contextually relevant categories: Text, Block, Media, and More. Only the most common or frequently used buttons are displayed, with hundreds of other features just a click away. The Editor can be fully customized to meet the needs of any user — from the UI look-and-feel to the Toolbar functionality — and now includes custom-designed icons that eliminate Font Awesome dependency and increase editor intuitiveness.
“Our vision has always been to push the limits of web editing while maintaining a singular focus on simplicity, performance, and user experience,” said Kegan Blumenthal, General Manager of Froala. “This latest release of Froala with Smart Toolbar capabilities encompasses how the next generation of editors should look, feel, and behave.”
Froala Editor is built in vanilla JavaScript, which eliminates jQuery dependencies and speeds initialization time and performance. With a new gzipped core of less than 50 KB, Froala’s lightweight Editor is 20% faster than previous versions with an initialization time of under 40 milliseconds — making it the most powerful WYSIWYG editor on the market today.
According to one recent G2 reviewer, “We needed a full-featured editor to allow our users to enter detailed blocks of text with various format needs, and Froala has been perfect. Finding a cost effective solution right off the shelf allowed us to focus on the larger aspects of our product instead of building our own editor.”
Froala Editor features cross-platform, cross-browser support and is fully-optimized for mobile devices, including Android and iOS tablets and smartphones.
