A lean React component library that tokenizes code with a vendored Prism and renders syntax-highlighted output via render props, with built-in theming support. It works in React and React Native and powers syntax highlighting in Docusaurus.

Use cases

• render syntax-highlighted code blocks in React
• highlight code in a React Native app
• add custom themes to code blocks
• highlight code without polluting the global namespace
• use Prism highlighting in Docusaurus-style docs sites
• tokenize code and render tokens with custom markup

When to choose

• you need syntax highlighting in React or React Native with full control over rendered markup
• you want bundled themes and a vendored Prism without global side effects
• you're building documentation or blog sites with code blocks

When to avoid

• you need server-side highlighting without React
• you want highlighting for many obscure languages out of the box
• your project doesn't use React
