HTML based RTE
The HTML-based Rich Text Editor (RTE) field enables users to input different types of content such as text, images, videos, and so on. When you add an HTML-based RTE field in a content type, it displays a text area with editing and formatting options on the entry page.
This field allows you to edit and format content entered in the field without using HTML tags. It enables content contributors easily create and publish HTML anywhere: on the desktop and on mobile.
<p>This is content in HTML RTE</p>JSON based RTE
In the JSON Rich Text Editor, each paragraph is a block; each block is an array; each array has multiple spans of text objects, storing different nodes of text. It returns clean data, making it easier to process in the backend.
The JSON RTE is composed of Blocks that contain text within them.

The JSON Rich Text Editor stores content in plain text format, which can be understood and processed by all programming languages. Whereas the HTML RTE is limited and constrained to HTML markup.
JSON-formatted content helps developers render content to any front-end framework with immense flexibility and interoperability.
With the JSON-based editor, the developers can handle the HTML component, and content managers can undividedly focus on styling and generating high-quality content.
Rich Text Editor In recent years, the field of Content Creation and Representation on Digital platforms has seen massive disruption. This transition has shown how companies are racing to build the best experience for content creators in the enterprise domain and trying to find innovative ways to break the traditional molds of sharing and consuming content.
Data Science
Statistics is the science of changing your mind. Making decisions based on facts (parameters) is hard enough as it is, but -curses!- sometimes we don’t even have the facts we need. Instead, what we know (our sample) is different from what we wish we knew (our population). That’s what it means to have uncertainty. Here is the statistics jargon cheatsheet...
