Marked.js Markdown Parser

Marked.js is a high-performance Markdown parser designed to efficiently convert Markdown text into HTML. It is currently at version 18.0.2 and maintains a very active release cadence, with frequent patch and minor versions often released weekly or bi-weekly, and major versions arriving every few months. Key differentiators include its strong focus on speed, its architecture as a low-level compiler that avoids caching and prolonged blocking operations, and its lightweight footprint. It aims to implement all Markdown features from supported specifications and is versatile, capable of running in browser environments, on a server (Node.js), or via its command-line interface. A critical consideration for users is that Marked.js intentionally does *not* sanitize its HTML output, necessitating the integration of a separate sanitization library like DOMPurify for any security-sensitive applications.
