Main idea is compare PHP Markdown parsers/converters, find which one is faster and have a smallest memory footprint.
- Cannot find useful independent comparison, including different versions. Best one comparison found, league/commonmark script, over-engineered (too complex) and not enough isolated.
- No results published
- No comparison of different engine supported abilities (TBD).
- league/commonmark, version 2.4.2
