A compact Rust Markdown parser
Markdown in.
Safe HTML out.
marked-rs is a dependency-free Markdown-to-HTML parser with a small core, opt-in GFM support, and native, Node.js, and WebAssembly surfaces.
$ printf '# Hello, Rust!\n\n**Fast** Markdown.\n' | cargo run --quiet
<h1>Hello, Rust!</h1>
<p><strong>Fast</strong> Markdown.</p>Focused by design
The pieces you need,
without the weight.
Safe HTML by default
Source text and generated attributes are escaped before they reach the renderer.
Built for every surface
Use the Rust library and CLI today, or enable Node.js and WebAssembly bindings.
Quick start
One small API.
Render Markdown directly, or inspect the document AST before adding a custom renderer.
let html = marked_rs::parse(
"# Hello\n\nA **small** parser."
);
// <h1>Hello</h1> …Try it in your browser
A real Rust parser,
right in your tab.
Edit the Markdown and see the HTML produced by marked-rs running through WebAssembly.
