feat: integrate kreuzberg html-to-markdown for high-performance conversion by konard · Pull Request #35 · link-assistant/web-capture

konard · 2026-04-10T14:08:55Z

Summary

Integrate kreuzberg html-to-markdown (v3.1.0) as a high-performance alternative HTML-to-Markdown converter
Add @kreuzberg/html-to-markdown-node to the JS implementation and html-to-markdown-rs crate to the Rust implementation
The new converter is selectable via converter=kreuzberg query parameter, with optional structured JSON results via format=json
Existing Turndown (JS) and html2md (Rust) converters remain as defaults for full backward compatibility

Key Benefits from html-to-markdown

Feature	Before	After (with kreuzberg)
Throughput	~5-10 MB/s (Turndown)	150-280 MB/s
Structured results	None	Content + metadata + tables + warnings
Metadata extraction	Custom (JS only)	Built-in (title, OG, JSON-LD, links, headings)
HTML sanitization	Manual (Cheerio/scraper)	Built-in (ammonia)
Cross-implementation	Different converters	Same Rust core in both JS and Rust

Changes

js/src/kreuzberg.js - New module: lazy-loaded kreuzberg converter wrapper
js/src/markdown.js - Updated: converter and format query params
js/package.json - Added: @kreuzberg/html-to-markdown-node dependency
js/.changeset/add-kreuzberg-html-to-markdown.md - Changeset for release
rust/src/kreuzberg.rs - New module: kreuzberg converter with structured results
rust/src/lib.rs - Added: convert_with_kreuzberg() public API, kreuzberg module
rust/Cargo.toml - Added: html-to-markdown-rs dependency, bumped MSRV to 1.88
rust/Dockerfile - Updated Rust version to 1.88 for dependency compatibility
rust/tests/kreuzberg_tests.rs - Integration tests (consistent with tests/ directory convention)
docs/html-to-markdown-integration.md - Detailed integration analysis
README.md - Updated API docs and converter comparison table
CHANGELOG.md - v1.3.0 entry

Test Plan

15 JS unit tests for kreuzberg module (all pass)
6 Rust integration tests for kreuzberg module (all pass)
All existing JS tests pass (251 total, 222 pass, 13 pre-existing browser env failures, 16 skipped)
All 114 existing Rust tests pass (including kreuzberg tests)
ESLint passes on all JS code
Cargo clippy + cargo fmt pass on all Rust code
Docker build succeeds (JS + Rust)
E2e Docker tests pass
CI fully green (JS + Rust workflows)

…erter Add kreuzberg html-to-markdown (v3.1.0) as a high-performance alternative converter for the /markdown endpoint. Users can select it via the `converter=kreuzberg` query parameter, with optional JSON structured results via `format=json`. The existing Turndown-based converter remains the default for backward compatibility. The kreuzberg converter provides: - 10-80x faster conversion (Rust-powered, 150-280 MB/s) - Structured results (metadata, tables, images, warnings) - Built-in HTML sanitization via ammonia - CommonMark compliant output Resolves part of #28 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Add kreuzberg html-to-markdown-rs (v3.1.0) as a high-performance alternative converter in the Rust implementation. The new `convert_with_kreuzberg()` function provides: - Same Rust core as the Node.js binding (consistent output) - Structured results (metadata, tables, warnings) - Built-in HTML sanitization - 150-280 MB/s throughput The existing html2md-based converter remains available for backward compatibility. Minimum Rust version bumped from 1.75 to 1.85 to satisfy html-to-markdown-rs requirements. Resolves part of #28 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Add 15 unit tests covering: - Package availability detection - Basic HTML conversion - Structured result format (content, metadata, tables, images, warnings) - Metadata extraction (title, Open Graph, headings, links) - Table conversion to GFM markdown - Code block, bold, italic, strikethrough formatting - Script/style tag removal (sanitization) - Edge cases (empty HTML, lists) All tests pass with @kreuzberg/html-to-markdown-node v3.1.0. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Add documentation for the new kreuzberg html-to-markdown converter: - New API endpoints with converter query parameter - Markdown converters comparison table - Updated features list - CHANGELOG entry for v1.3.0 - Link to integration analysis document Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

The html-to-markdown-rs v3.1.0 crate requires Rust edition 2024, which needs Cargo 1.85+. The Dockerfile was using rust:1.83 which doesn't support this edition, causing Docker build failures in CI. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
