Google Drive API - Can I integrate Google Docs in my web application?
<p>One of the requirements for the web application I'm creating is that users should be able to create and edit documents. I've been searching around and I came across the <code>Google Drive REST API</code>, however I'm a little unsure about what it can do.</p>

<p>From what I understand, the API allows my application to access a user's Google Drive account and their files, being able to open and edit them, as well as create documents using my application. </p>

<p>However, I was hoping that I could be able to use the Google Docs <strong>editor</strong> itself to create and open/edit documents, but from what I can gather is that the editor is up to me to create, and that I can use the <code>Realtime API</code> to enable the collaboration feature that Google Docs offers.</p>

<p>Is this the case? Is Google leaving the job of actually creating the document editor itself up to me (sorry if I sound like a whiny child here, it's an honest question), or does <code>Drive API</code> also provide their editor? The reason I want to use their editors is because it perfectly fits the requirements for the application, and it will be near impossible for me to compete with their document editor.</p>

<p>If I do I have to create the editor myself, can anyone recommend any open source/free document editors with similar features to that of the Google Docs editor that works with C# ASP.NET, or a way that I could somehow use the Google Docs editor in my application?</p>
