JOSM (Java OpenStreetMap Editor) is a desktop application originally developed by Immanuel Scholz and currently maintained by Dirk Stöcker. Its homepage is located at josm.openstreetmap.de.
Although it has a relatively steep learning curve, JOSM is popular among experienced editors thanks to its plugins and stability. There are other editors for OpenStreetMap data, like iD or Potlatch 2. JOSM is a feature-rich editor with an interface which can seem complex at first. Have a look at the comparison of editors if you're still unsure which editor to choose.
