Hey man, have you heard of JsTranformer's [1] they're a standard way of parsing strings in and out of different formats. Markdown-it [2] seems to do this too.

That seems overkill... to ask any js lib author who transforms a string to another string to use this API. The async version doesn't even use promises, so can't be `await`ed... why should anyone choose to do this?

Edit: Kay it returns promises, but still, overkill.

Just curious, what makes this so overkill? I'm not a lib author but it seems pretty lightweight to me.

Yeah idk it is two functions and only one of them has a promise.
