About

What is Streamdown?

Streamdown is a React component library designed as a drop-in replacement for `react-markdown`, specifically optimized for streaming content from AI models. It addresses unique challenges like incomplete syntax, partial code blocks, and unterminated links that traditional Markdown renderers struggle with during real-time streaming. Streamdown intelligently parses incomplete blocks, applies progressive formatting, and ensures seamless transitions from incomplete to complete states, providing a smooth user experience. It features built-in typography, streaming carets, animations, and a robust plugin system for features like syntax highlighting (Shiki), LaTeX math (KaTeX), interactive Mermaid diagrams, and CJK support. The tool also includes security hardening for links and images, and is fully customizable through components, styles, and configuration, while maintaining a lean bundle size with tree-shakeable plugins.

Streamdown intelligently parses incomplete Markdown blocks, such as unclosed bold text or partial code blocks, and applies progressive formatting. This ensures that content is displayed smoothly as it streams in, preventing jarring user experiences common with traditional Markdown renderers.

Streamdown offers a modular plugin system for extended functionality. Built-in plugins include `@streamdown/code` for syntax highlighting, `@streamdown/mermaid` for interactive diagrams, `@streamdown/math` for LaTeX math rendering, and `@streamdown/cjk` for CJK language support. These plugins are tree-shakeable to minimize bundle size.

Can I customize the appearance and behavior of Streamdown?

Yes, Streamdown is fully customizable. You can override any element with your own custom React components, apply your preferred styles, and fine-tune its behavior through extensive configuration options. This allows developers to seamlessly integrate it into their existing UI/UX.
