## JSON Rich Text Editor for Content Managers

The [JSON Rich Text Editor](/docs/developers/json-rich-text-editor/about-json-rich-text-editor)
  ** (JSON RTE)** in Contentstack simplifies content creation by eliminating the need for HTML. It offers intuitive styling options and flexible content arrangement, making it easier for content managers to focus on creating compelling content.

## Format Without HTML

  JSON RTE does not include an HTML code view. This removes the need to manually handle HTML source code, allowing content managers to style text using built-in formatting tools. These tools are available in the menu bar at the top of the editor field.

## Drag and Drop Content Blocks

  Each content element—such as paragraphs, images, or lists—is treated as an individual block. Content managers can easily rearrange these blocks by dragging and dropping them within the editor, without copying or pasting.
