frontmeta v2.2.4

FrontMeta is a minimalist front-matter format that uses key:value pairs rather than YAML. This results in a parser that is optimized for both size and speed.

FrontMeta.parse()

FrontMeta.stringify(document) : object

• document - The frontmeta document object

CommonJS

A .cjs bundle is included for CommonJS compatibility

const frontmeta = // the document frontmeta
const data = FrontMeta.parse(frontmeta);

FrontMeta.stringify()

const FrontMeta = require('frontmeta');
const document = // the frontmeta document object
const data = FrontMeta.stringify(document);

Typings are generated from JSDoc using Typescript. They are 100% compatible with VSCode Intellisense and will work seamlessly with Typescript.
