CocoaMarkdown is an Objective-C framework for parsing and rendering Markdown on iOS and macOS, built on the CommonMark C reference implementation. It provides AST traversal, delegate-based parsing hooks, and direct NSAttributedString rendering without converting to HTML.

Use cases

• render markdown as native attributed strings in an iOS app
• parse markdown files into an AST on macOS
• build a custom markdown renderer with delegate callbacks
• convert markdown to HTML in a Cocoa app
• display formatted markdown text in a UITextView

When to choose

• you need native NSAttributedString output instead of HTML on Apple platforms
• you want low-level AST access or custom parsing hooks for Markdown
• you need CommonMark-compliant parsing in Objective-C or Swift

When to avoid

• you need Markdown rendering on non-Apple platforms
• you want an actively maintained library - the last release was 2019
• you just need simple HTML generation from Markdown in a web context
