Gutenberg is the default content editor for the WordPress content management system. It introduced a block-based approach to web design, allowing users to build complex layouts through individual content units rather than a single text field. Since its integration into WordPress 5.0, it has evolved from a post editor into a comprehensive site-building tool.
