This section explains how to open a default document when the Document Editor and Document Editor Container are initialized.
Opening a default document in the Document Editor
Using the open method in the ASP.NET Core DOCX Editor (Document Editor) allows you to open the document in SFDT format. To open the document by default, call the open method in the created event of the Document Editor, which is triggered once the control is created.

</ejs-documenteditor>
<script>
var container;
function onCreate() {
var documenteditorElement = document.getElementById("container");
container = documenteditorElement.ej2_instances[0];
