Blackfriday is a fast, paranoid Markdown processor library for Go that parses Markdown into an AST and renders HTML, with support for common extensions like tables and smart punctuation. It is the v2-recommended library derived from a translation of Sundown.
Use cases
- convert markdown to html in go
- render user-supplied markdown safely
- parse markdown into an ast
- generate html from markdown files
- markdown processing for a go web app
When to choose
- you need a fast, battle-tested markdown renderer in Go
- you must safely process untrusted user markdown input
- you want an AST for custom rendering extensions
When to avoid
- you need CommonMark strict compliance or the latest markdown features
- you need renderers other than HTML
- you need actively developed markdown tooling with frequent fixes
