This library provides the core data types and functions for parsing
|
|
commonmark (https://spec.commonmark.org). The parser is fully
|
|
commonmark-compliant and passes the test suite. It is designed to be
|
|
customizable and easily extensible. To customize the output, create an
|
|
AST, or support a new output format, one need only define some new
|
|
typeclass instances. It is also easy to add new syntax elements or
|
|
modify existing ones.
|
|
|
|
Accurate information about source positions is available for all block
|
|
and inline elements. Thus the library can be used to create an
|
|
accurate syntax highlighter or an editor with live preview.
|
|
|
|
The parser has been designed for robust performance even in
|
|
pathological cases that tend to cause stack overflows or exponential
|
|
slowdowns in other parsers, with parsing speed that varies linearly
|
|
with input length.
