A Swift package for parsing, building, editing, and analyzing Markdown documents, backed by GitHub-flavored Markdown's cmark-gfm implementation. It exposes an immutable, thread-safe, copy-on-write markup tree similar in design to SwiftSyntax.

Use cases

• parse markdown into a structured syntax tree in swift
• programmatically edit or transform markdown documents
• analyze markdown document structure
• build markdown documents from code
• work with github-flavored markdown in a swift app

When to choose

• you need a spec-compliant GFM parser in Swift
• you want a typed, immutable syntax tree for markdown manipulation
• you're building Swift tooling like documentation generators or linters

When to avoid

• you need markdown rendering to HTML out of the box with no tree manipulation
• your project is not in the Swift ecosystem
• you need CommonMark extensions beyond the supported dialect
