Why

Nearly all Java text editors, Swing and JavaFX alike, suffer from one deficiency: inability to work with large data models such as logs or query results.

The goal of this project is to provide a professional FX text component capable of handling billions of lines of styled unicode text, possibly with very long lines, by using monospaced font and rendering model - unlike its sibling, FxEditor.

This component is being developed for the AccessPanel project.

How

Please refer to a simple demo application: FxTextEditorDemoApp.java.

Main Features

  • supports up to 2^31 lines of text
  • efficiently handles very long lines
  • supports syntax highlight
  • basic text attributes: bold, italic, underline, strikethrough
  • variable tab width

Warning

This project is currently in the early development stage. Do not even think of using it in production.

Requirements

Requires JavaFX 17+.
