Parser

[ethanleifer]

Hi,

This library looks super interesting and I am thinking of using it to store information in my obsidian vault.

I am looking for a way to programmatically add information into an already existing Markdown document.

Has anyone built a compatible parser that converts existing markdown into this json structure?

I have not heard of anyone making a parser for this library yet. It sounds really useful, though.

How do you use it?

It is currently best used as a support library within a node JS program, pulling it in as a package from a package source like NPM. It has support for TypeScript in case you use that. Though, I have seen some people use it to generate documentation through github.

In the past, I was working on a web scraping project where I would read content with browser automation like Google puppeteer and then turn that into data, and then I would feed the data into this library to make markdown, either to write to files or to append to files.

I eventually finished the project, and now I keep this repo around for the people who use it.

I maintain a playground with a cookbook that shows examples: https://kgar.github.io/ts-markdown/pages/cookbook.html

Thanks! I am probably going to fork to create a parser!

That sounds awesome!
