Editors are made to make editing your own files easier. In the modern world, many text editors, like Visual Studio Code, are found to provide nice text editing features, such as the auto-completion which allows you to quickly write any text, the hex editor that allows you to view and edit the contents of a binary file seamlessly, and easier editing using the color coded string tokens to differentiate the string from integers, and much more.
The oldest text editor known to be working with the first Unix system is ed, the earliest text editor released on 1973 shipped with the Unix system found on a PDP-7 at AT&T Bell Labs. It featured commands to manipulate with the text files instead of the visual representation of the file that you can edit easier than before.
The simulated kernel attempts to simulate how ed worked, with significant differences in the syntax, allowing you to understand how the first text editor worked faster than before. However, there are three versions of the editor intended to edit different types of files.
If you want to edit the normal text file, choose the below option.
If you want to edit the JSON file easier, choose the below option.
If you want to edit the binary file using the hex representation, and are careful of what you're doing, choose the below option.
