What is this Python project?
mistletoe is a fast and extensible Markdown parser implementation.
What's the difference between this Python project and similar ones?
- Compared to Python-Markdown, it is over 4 times faster. With CPython its speed is on par with mistune.
- Compared to Mistune, it is:
- more flexible, in that adding parsing rules are formalized, easier and less brittle (see the GitHub Wiki example as compared to Mistune);
- more extensible, in that writing new renderers are trivial (supports transpiling to LaTeX out of the box; also see this example where mathjax support is added to mistletoe);
- about 2x faster when PyPy is used (see the performance section);
