⬇️ omark

Just simple markdown utils!

Important

This project is under development.

💡 Why?

Any sequence of characters is a valid CommonMark (Markdown) document.

Markdown is intended to be as easy-to-read and easy-to-write as is. Readability is emphasized above all else. A Markdown-formatted document should be publishable as-is, as plain text. (from John Gruber creator of Makrdown).

While Markdown is designed to be simple, I often find myself in situations where there is simply no tool to allow programmatically working with Markdown syntax without dealing with complex and strict AST objects and choosing between dozens of available tools and extensions. Often, not even worth pursuing ideas around Markdown.

The idea is to make good-enough tools to read and write Markdown programmatically, as easy as Markdown itself is, without dealing with an AST.
