Micromark String Decoder Utility

micromark-util-decode-string is a low-level utility within the unifiedjs `micromark` ecosystem, specifically designed to process and decode character escapes and character references found in Markdown strings. It provides a single, focused function, `decodeString`, which is crucial for correctly interpreting content in areas like fenced code info strings, link destinations, labels, and titles according to the CommonMark specification. The current stable version for this utility is `2.0.1`, which is compatible with `micromark@3` and Node.js 16 and higher. While part of a larger monorepo, this package maintains its own versioning tied to its API stability. Its release cadence generally aligns with major `micromark` releases, often involving updates to drop support for unmaintained Node.js versions. As an ESM-only package, it adheres to modern JavaScript module standards. Its key differentiator is its precise adherence to Markdown specification for string decoding, making it an essential building block for custom `micromark` extensions or other Markdown processing tools.
