Update title about laravel-markdown HOT 14 CLOSED

2.0 version (for Laravel 4) is a Parsedown wrapper
3.0 version (for Laravel 5) is a Commonmark wrapper

from laravel-markdown.

@vladshcherbin thanks for the info

Seems I will use v3.0 besides its not based on Parsedown

Hope this issue erusev/parsedown#213 goes resolved and this lib to be using Parsedown as it is the one of the fastest markdown processors

from laravel-markdown.

Yeh, you're correct. It should say CommonMark now. CommonMark is far better written than parsedown, although it might not do as well in a benchmark, but in a large system, this different is so small, you won't notice.

@GrahamCampbell
League\Commonmark is written in more verbose style, but in terms of performance it cant beat Parsedown

from laravel-markdown.

"verbose" doesn't really cut it. It's a totally different architecture.

from laravel-markdown.

I would recommend anyone to switch to commonmark, hence why I've switched this package to it. It's far superior.

from laravel-markdown.

Parsedown is probably struggling to be commonmark compliant due to it's optimization for performance leading to it being poorly architected. Sorry. :(

from laravel-markdown.

Yes you are certainly right that is better written and the architecture is better

But do we have to include lib that is made of 120 fifes instead of one file as in parsedown?

from laravel-markdown.

I don't understand why that matters?

from laravel-markdown.

It maybe does not. I am deploying some Laravel 5 stuff on shared hostings with limited resources and the number of files loaded on request is like 315+ and i want to keep those numbers down

from laravel-markdown.

Laravel can compile the files to one file if you want.

Laravel uses a package that I'm co-maintaining atm under the hood to do this: https://github.com/mtdowling/ClassPreloader.

Thanks i will look at this, It can be useful in my case

Anyways... its better to use one file lib for Markdown than 100 files lib if they do the same and the 1 file lib is faster

from laravel-markdown.

Only if you use it on most of the requests. There is still an overhead for php every time it has to process a file. If it's large an unused, you could end up with slower performance.
