mdast-util-from-markdown

mdast utility to parse markdown.

Install

npm:

npm install mdast-util-from-markdown

Use

Say we have the following markdown file, example.md:

## Hello, *World*!

And our script, example.js, looks as follows:

var fs = require('fs')
var fromMarkdown = require('mdast-util-from-markdown')

var doc = fs.readFileSync('example.md')

var tree = fromMarkdown(doc)

console.log(tree)

Now, running node example yields (positional info removed for brevity):

{
  type: 'root',
  children: [
    {
      type: 'heading',
      depth: 2,
      children: [
        {type: 'text', value: 'Hello, '},
        {
          type: 'emphasis',
          children: [{type: 'text', value: 'World'}]
        },
        {type: 'text', value: '!'}
      ]
    }
  ]
}

Security

As Markdown is sometimes used for HTML, and improper use of HTML can open you up to a cross-site scripting (XSS) attack, use of mdast-util-from-markdown can also be unsafe. When going to HTML, use this utility in combination with hast-util-sanitize to make the tree safe.
