This repo tries to assess Rust markdown parsing performance.

We currently compare:

• comrak
• mini_markdown
• minimad
• pulldown-cmark

Results

Name	Overhead (release)	Build (debug)	Parse (release)	Downloads	Version
null	0 KiB	720ms	3ms		-
comrak	2,153 KiB	30s	5ms		v0.12.1
mini_markdown	99 KiB	1s	N/A		v0.2.5
minimad	20 KiB	1s	2ms		v0.9.0
pulldown-cmark	711 KiB	4s	3ms		v0.9.0

System: Linux 5.4.0-91-generic (x86_64) w/ -j 8

Notes:

• Overhead will be lower if your application shares dependencies with your argument parsing library.
