front-matter

Tech stack & purpose

front-matter is a Node.js module that extracts and parses YAML metadata from the beginning of text documents, without performing any file I/O operations. The module is built for JavaScript and uses the ys-yaml library for YAML parsing, supporting both safe and unsafe loading modes. It was created by Jason Campbell and Adrian Gimenez, drawing inspiration from Jekyll's blogging system for adding metadata to content without requiring a database.
