Advanced visual content editor for Joomla, created on the basis of TinyMCE. There is a free and paid version of the editor.
The basic TinyMCE editor, which is included in the Joomla core by default, has significantly expanded its functionality as it evolves, and in the Joomla 5 version, this editor is better than the free version of JCE. This means that there is no point in installing the free version of JCE on Joomla 5. However, the paid version of JCE still has functionality superior to TinyMCE.
