High-performance HTML to Markdown conversion powered by Rust. Ships as native bindings for **Rust, Python, TypeScript/Node.js, Ruby, PHP, Go, Java, C#, Elixir, R, C (FFI), and WebAssembly** with identical rendering across all runtimes.
## Highlights
- **150-280 MB/s** throughput (10-80x faster than pure Python alternatives)
- **12 language bindings** with consistent output across all runtimes
- **Metadata extraction** — title, headers, links, images, structured data (JSON-LD, Microdata, RDFa)
- **Visitor pattern** — custom callbacks for content filtering, URL rewriting, domain-specific dialects
- **Secure by default** — built-in HTML sanitization via ammonia
## Quick Start

# Rust
