rehype is an HTML processor powered by plugins, part of the unified collective, that parses HTML into an AST (hast) so plugins can inspect and transform it before serializing back to HTML. It runs on the server, client, CLIs, and Deno, and anchors a large ecosystem of HTML-processing plugins.

Use cases

• minify html in a build pipeline
• sanitize or transform html content
• parse html into an ast in javascript
• rewrite html tags programmatically
• process markdown to html with unified
• build custom html transformation plugins

When to choose

• you need programmatic, plugin-based HTML transformation in JavaScript
• you are already in the unified/remark ecosystem (e.g. markdown-to-HTML pipelines)
• you want to run HTML processing on server, client, or CLI

When to avoid

• you only need simple regex-free string manipulation without AST overhead
• you need a full browser DOM implementation rather than a lightweight AST
• your stack is not JavaScript/Node-based
