markdown-to-json is a Python tool designed to streamline the conversion process from JSDoc-formatted Markdown into a single, structured JSON file. If you're working in web development or documentation and have been using JSDoc for documenting JavaScript code, you know the value of having well-organized documentation. However, managing large sets of Markdown files generated from JSDoc can become cumbersome, especially when you need to integrate this documentation into frontend applications.

This is where markdown-to-json steps in, offering a seamless solution to convert your JSDoc-generated Markdown file(s) into JSON format. This JSON output can then be easily injected into your frontend applications, making it simpler to access and display the documentation where it's needed.

The process is straightforward: you provide markdown-to-json with your JSDoc Markdown files as input, and it intelligently parses and structures the content into a JSON file. This JSON file retains all the essential information from your JSDoc documentation, such as function descriptions, parameters, return types, and more, in a format optimized for frontend integration.

Whether you're building a complex web application, a JavaScript library, or simply want to enhance your documentation workflow, markdown-to-json empowers you to bridge the gap between Markdown-based documentation and frontend display, making your development process smoother and more efficient.
