The root container for all document content. Every editor starts with a Document node that contains all blocks like paragraphs, headings, and lists.

​
Structure

<doc>
  <p>First paragraph</p>
  <p>Second paragraph</p>
  <!-- All block content -->
</doc>

​
Why it’s essential

  • Required root - Every editor needs exactly one document node
  • Content validation - Ensures at least one block element exists
  • Document operations - Enables document-level commands and queries
