@notable/dumper NPM

Dumper

Library for extracting attachments, notes and metadata out of formats used by popular note-taking apps.

Features

Markdown: all notes are converted to Markdown automatically, no matter what format each note uses.
Modular: each supported format is implemented by a "provider", additional providers can be implemented easily, learn more about implementing one yourself here.
Lightweight: extra care has been taken to ensure this library is lightweight, no external DOM implementation is loaded by default and the most lightweight dependencies are being used.
