| Summary : Fast, accurate CommonMark (Markdown) parser and renderer
|
Description :
This package provides Haskell bindings for < https://github.com/jgm/cmark
libcmark>, the reference parser for < http://commonmark.org CommonMark>, a fully
specified variant of Markdown. It includes sources for libcmark (0.19.0) and
does not require prior installation of the C library.
cmark provides the following advantages over existing Markdown libraries for
Haskell:
- Speed: Conversion speed is on par with the
< https://hackage.haskell.org/package/sundown sundown> library. We were unable
to measure precisely against < https://hackage.haskell.org/package/sundown
sundown>, which raised a malloc error when compiled into our benchmark suite.
Relative to other implementations: cmark was 82 times faster than
< https://hackage.haskell.org/package/cheapskate cheapskate>, 59 times faster
than < https://hackage.haskell.org/package/markdown markdown>, 105 times faster
than < https://hackage.haskell.org/package/pandoc pandoc>, and 2.8 times faster
than < https://hackage.haskell.org/package/discount discount>.
- Memory footprint: Memory footprint is on par with
< https://hackage.haskell.org/package/sundown sundown>. On one sample, the
library uses a fourth the memory that
< https://hackage.haskell.org/package/markdown markdown> uses, and less than a
tenth the memory that < https://hackage.haskell.org/package/pandoc pandoc> uses.
- Robustness: cmark can handle whatever is thrown at it, without the
exponential blowups in parsing time one can sometimes get with other libraries.
(The input \'bench/full-sample.md\', for example, causes both
< https://hackage.haskell.org/package/pandoc pandoc> and
< https://hackage.haskell.org/package/markdown markdown> to grind to a halt.)
- Accuracy: cmark passes the CommonMark spec\'s suite of over 500 conformance
tests.
- Standardization: Since there is a spec and a comprehensive suite of tests, we
can have a high degree of confidence that any two CommonMark implementations
will behave the same. Thus, for example, one could use this library for
server-side rendering and < http://github.com/jgm/commonmark.js commonmark.js>
for client-side previewing.
- Ease of installation: cmark is portable and has minimal dependencies.
cmark does not provide Haskell versions of the whole
< http://github.com/jgm/cmark libcmark> API, which is built around mutable
\'cmark_node\' objects. Instead, it provides functions for converting CommonMark
to HTML (and other formats), and a function for converting CommonMark to a
\'Node\' tree that can be processed further using Haskell.
A note on security: This library does not attempt to sanitize HTML output.
We recommend using < https://hackage.haskell.org/package/xss-sanitize
xss-sanitize> to filter the output.
A note on stability: There is a good chance the API will change significantly
after this early release.
