Parsedown
A fast, single-file PHP Markdown parser with GitHub Flavored Markdown support and no dependencies.
What is Parsedown?
Parsedown is a PHP Markdown parser that converts Markdown-formatted text to HTML. It solves the problem of needing a fast, reliable way to render user-generated content or documentation written in Markdown within PHP applications. The library focuses on performance and simplicity while supporting GitHub Flavored Markdown syntax.
PHP developers building content management systems, documentation tools, blogs, forums, or any application that needs to render user-generated Markdown content. It's particularly useful for projects that prioritize performance and minimal dependencies.
Developers choose Parsedown because it offers exceptional parsing speed in a single-file package with no external dependencies. Its unique line-based parsing approach provides both performance benefits and human-readable code, while the safe mode feature makes it suitable for processing untrusted user input.
