The TinyMCE WordPress visual editor hasn’t had many changes over the past few years and has stayed pretty much the same for a long time.
To make adding rich content to WordPress simple and enjoyable WordPress CORE Team have introduced this new feature.
The Gutenberg WordPress editor is a new page builder that is being designed to integrate with WordPress core.
Gutenberg ads various types of content blocks such as images, headings, text, list, videos and provides a page builder-like functionality to WordPress based websites.
The Gutenberg WordPress editor is Named after Johannes Gutenberg, who invented the mechanical printing press. Gutenberg was introduced to the world by Matt Mullenweg at WordCamp Europe in 2017.
Gutenberg is released with WordPress 5.0.
The main goal is to have an interface that is more intuitive for new users. Now User don’t have to be fluent in HTML or write any short-codes. Users can control layout of his website more easily. Important thing is that while creating any page he can see preview exact same as that going to show in front-end.
Gutenberg is currently written using REACT Javascript. Gutenberg editor will soon eliminate the need for page builders for complex layouts, and it also creates a single unified method for creating more complex page or post layouts in WordPress.
