markitdown for node

[Josef Nobach (jojomondag)]

Thank you for you project i took inspiration from it to my own project.

https://github.com/[jojomondag/FileToMarkdown](https://github.com/jojomondag/FileToMarkdown)

i have a npm package ready to download and use in your javascript code here.

https://www.npmjs.com/package/filetomarkdown

Maybe somebody needs a version working on their page you can use mine.

Hi Josef Nobach (@jojomondag) ,

Just would like to know: what version of markitdown is used in the filetomarkdown? Or is it a totally rewritten in nodejs?

And: is there any nodejs API for filetomarkdown? I just see the restful API, but in our context we would like to use the nodejs API directly.

Thanks v much.

FileToMarkdown is completely written in Node.js i dont use markitdown its my own implementation. Some of my own classes are called markitdown that can lead to confusion thanks.

Maybe these Node.js APIs can work for you

const { MarkitDown, convertToMarkdown } = require('filetomarkdown');

// Simple conversion
const markdown = await convertToMarkdown('document.pdf', 'output.md');

// Class-based approach
const converter = new MarkitDown();
const result = await converter.convertToMarkdown('input.docx');

Dont be afraid to do your own pullrequest with what you need.

Greetings/Jojo

Thanks for reply!
Compared to markitdown, are all the features implemented in FileToMarkdown? Or is there any feature still missing?
Thanks again.

Best regards, Jason

No markitdown is more feature rich. I dont support sound and video.

[Josef Nobach (jojomondag)]

And markitdown support much more formats.

1. https://www.npmjs.com/package/markitdown-ts ts implementation
2. https://www.npmjs.com/package/@mote-software/markitdown binary wrapper

[Josef Nobach (jojomondag)]

Looks good! thanks for the find.

I found this useful because it goes beyond “convert a file” and gets into whether the result is actually clean enough for a real workflow. If others here are looking for the official MarkItDown Online page, it is available at https://markitdown.store/
