markdown-exit is a fast, customizable Markdown parser and HTML renderer with full CommonMark support, written in TypeScript as a rewrite of markdown-it. It offers first-class typings, async rendering, a plugin system, and drop-in compatibility with markdown-it v14 and its plugin API.

Use cases

• parse markdown to html in a typescript project
• replace markdown-it with a typed drop-in alternative
• render markdown with async syntax highlighting
• extend markdown syntax with custom plugins
• render user-generated markdown content safely in a web app
• build a static site or docs generator that processes markdown

When to choose

• you want markdown-it features with full TypeScript types
• you need async rendering for rules like syntax highlighting
• you want a drop-in markdown-it replacement with plugin compatibility
• you need full CommonMark compliance with fast performance

When to avoid

• you need a battle-tested stable v1 release (currently in public beta with possible breaking changes)
• you rely on markdown-it plugins not yet verified compatible
• you need a WYSIWYG markdown editor rather than a parser library
