Collaborative editing is a very challenging subject, technically speaking.\u00a0 The old days of users editing a file, sending it to another user, and back are long gone.\u00a0 Version control tools like git helped with tracking changes and resolving conflicts.\u00a0 But the newer generation of tools – Google Docs for example – push the bar even higher.\u00a0 Now many users expect real-time, transparent collaborative tools, which allow multiple users to work on the same document at the same time and without any additional technical complexity.<\/p>\n
Automerge<\/a> is one project that helps the developers to build such collaborative tools, by providing a library of JSON-like data structures, which can be edited in parallel and then merged back together.<\/p>\n Automerge […] supports\u00a0automatic syncing and merging<\/strong>:<\/p>\n <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n Collaborative editing is a very challenging subject, technically speaking.\u00a0 The old days of users editing a file, sending it to another user, and back are long gone.\u00a0 Version control tools like git helped with tracking changes and resolving conflicts.\u00a0 But the newer generation of tools – Google Docs for example – push the bar even … Continue reading Automerge – a JSON-like data structure for concurrent multi-user editing<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"Automerge - a JSON-like data structure for concurrent multi-user editing #WebDev #JavaScript #JSON #collaboration","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[1,18,62,1334],"tags":[3179,1192,3570,1139,3306,1588,1330],"keyring_services":[],"class_list":["post-28403","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-general","category-programming","category-technology","category-web-work","tag-collaboration","tag-computer-science","tag-data-structures","tag-javascript","tag-json","tag-version-control","tag-web-development"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n
