Markdown to JSON

Why this Markdown to JSON page exists

Markdown to JSON turns writer-friendly text into developer-friendly structure for highlights, diff, search, and regeneration.

Markdown to JSON runs fully in the browser, so tokens, internal hosts, and drafts never leave your device.

• Use Markdown to JSON to get an AST with type/children/value for downstream logic.
• Skip building parsers: Markdown to JSON ships ready with positions toggle and pretty/compact JSON.
• Privacy-first: Markdown to JSON keeps data local, ideal for compliance-heavy teams.

When to use Markdown to JSON

Any time you need structure instead of raw prose, Markdown to JSON is the bridge.

Best for samples, docs, and lessons up to about 2MB.

• Frontend or mini-apps: Markdown to JSON powers live preview, syntax highlight, and error locators.
• Backend or CMS: Markdown to JSON before ingest for sensitive-word checks and indexing.
• Static/docs sites: preprocess with Markdown to JSON before templating or further conversion.
• Teaching and knowledge bases: annotate paragraphs and lists via Markdown to JSON nodes.

Keep the flow short and predictable with Markdown to JSON: paste/upload, choose view, toggle positions, export.

• Paste Markdown or upload .md/.markdown/.txt (≤ ~2MB) into Markdown to JSON.
• Pick Pretty or Compact in Markdown to JSON to suit readability vs payload size.
• Toggle Include positions when you need highlight/diff from Markdown to JSON.

• Students: Markdown to JSON extracts outlines and compares note versions offline.

Performance and data expectations with Markdown to JSON

Modern browsers handle typical Markdown to JSON workloads quickly; positions add a modest overhead.

• ~100KB Markdown to JSON: ~40–70 ms; ~300KB: ~90–150 ms; ~500KB: ~160–260 ms.
• With positions, Markdown to JSON payloads are about 250–320KB for a 100KB source; without positions ~160–210KB; Compact trims another ~5–10%.
• Fidelity: Markdown to JSON based on remark+GFM keeps content intact; dropping positions only shrinks size.
