Getting Started | PaperCast Documentation

Welcome to the PaperCast API documentation. PaperCast is a Schema-First Document Builder. You design your layout using a JSON schema, and our engine renders it dynamically.

Installation

PaperCast packages are published on NPM and can be installed via your preferred package manager:

npm install @papercast/core @papercast/engine @papercast/react

Using Widgets

You can easily embed our widgets into your own document schemas. Below is a full-scale interactive example of an Invoice widget.
