Introducing Faster Markdown Parsing 🏎️💨

We’ve rebuilt our Markdown parser from the ground up with a focus on speed and performance. This enhancement ensures that your web scraping tasks are more efficient and deliver higher-quality results.

What’s New?

  • Speed Improvements: Experience parsing speeds up to 4 times faster than before, allowing for quicker data processing and reduced waiting times.
  • Enhanced Reliability: Our new parser handles a wider range of HTML content more gracefully, reducing errors and improving consistency.
  • Cleaner Markdown Output: Get cleaner and more readable Markdown, making your data easier to work with and integrate into your workflows.

What’s Next?

That concludes our Launch Week II! We hope these new features will significantly enhance your web scraping projects and workflows.

Thank you for joining us this week, and happy scraping!
