What is node-prismjs

node-prismjs is:

A spin-off project from Dabblet. Some of its unique features include:

  • It??s tiny. The core is only 1.5KB minified & gzipped.
  • It??s incredibly extensible. Not only it??s easy to add new languages, but also to extend existing ones.
  • It encourages good author practices. Other highlighters encourage or even force you to use elements that are semantically wrong, like <pre> (on its own) or <script>. Prism forces you to use the only semantically correct element for marking up code: <code>.
  • One of its best features: The language definition is inherited. This means that if multiple code snippets have the same language, you can just define it once, in one of their common ancestors.
  • It looks good. All three of its existing themes.
  • It supports parallelism through Web Workers, for better performance in certain cases.
