Create.js is a web editing interface that provides a modern browser-based HTML5 environment for managing content on any website backend. It allows content to be edited inline and avoids the need for a monolithic CMS. Create.js separates concerns by having a web editing tool, web framework, and content repository. This decoupled approach makes the system more flexible, collaborative, and able to work with any web platform or framework.
