goldmark is a Markdown parser written in pure Go that is fully compliant with the CommonMark 0.31.2 specification. It features an extensible, interface-based AST that preserves source positions, making it easy to add custom syntax extensions like GitHub Flavored Markdown.

Use cases

  • parse markdown to html in go
  • commonmark compliant markdown parser
  • render github flavored markdown
  • extend markdown with custom syntax
  • convert markdown files in a static site generator
  • markdown parser with ast access

When to choose

  • you need strict CommonMark compliance in a Go project
  • you want to add custom Markdown syntax extensions
  • you need an AST that preserves source positions
  • you want a pure-Go dependency with no cgo

When to avoid

  • you need maximum raw parsing speed over standards compliance
  • you are not working in Go
  • you rely on blackfriday-specific non-standard behavior
