cmark
A C reference implementation of CommonMark for parsing and rendering Markdown documents to multiple formats.
What is cmark?
cmark is the C reference implementation of the CommonMark specification, a standardized version of Markdown. It provides a library and command-line tool for parsing Markdown documents into an abstract syntax tree and rendering them to formats like HTML, LaTeX, and groff man. It solves the problem of inconsistent Markdown parsing by offering a fast, accurate, and portable solution.
Developers and system integrators who need a high-performance, reliable Markdown parser in C for applications like documentation tools, static site generators, or content management systems.
Developers choose cmark for its exceptional speed, strict compliance with the CommonMark standard, and robustness under heavy loads. Its no-dependency C library makes it ideal for embedded systems and performance-critical applications where other parsers may be too slow or unreliable.
