cmark-scala provides Scala Native bindings for cmark. cmark allows to parse, manipulate and render CommonMark documents.

The bindings were directly derived from cmark.h. Comments were retained and adapted if necessary. The naming of functions and their encapsulation follows Scala's conventions. Note that *_new functions were renamed to create as to prevent name collisions with the eponymous Scala keyword.

Example

import cmark._
import scalanative.unsafe._
import scalanative.unsigned._

var level = -1
def onNode(eventType: EventType, node: Ptr[Node]): Unit = {
  eventType match {
    case EventType.Enter => level += 1
    case EventType.Exit  => level -= 1
  }

  val levelStr = "  " * level
  val startLine = Node.getStartLine(node)
  val endLine   = Node.getEndLine(node)

  Node.getType(node) match {
    case NodeType.Text =>
      val text = fromCString(Node.getLiteral(node))
      println(s"${levelStr}text node @ line $startLine-$endLine: $text")

    case _ =>
      val nodeTypeStr = fromCString(Node.getTypeString(node))
      println(s"$levelStr$nodeTypeStr node @ $startLine-$endLine")
  }
}

val test =
  """# Chapter
    |## Section
    |### Sub-section
    |
    |Hello World from *cmark-scala*!
  """.stripMargin

println("cmark version: " + fromCString(cmark.versionString()))
println()

val docNode = Parser.parseDocument(
  toCString(test), test.length.toULong, Options.SourcePosition)
val iter = Iter.create(docNode)
var evType = Iter.next(iter)
while (evType != EventType.Done) {
  onNode(evType, Iter.getNode(iter))
  evType = Iter.next(iter)
}
Iter.free(iter)

val html = fromCString(Render.html(docNode, Options.Default))
println()
println(html)

Node.free(docNode)

Output:
