|
+
A high-performance, streaming Markdown text splitter built for LLM pipelines and RAG systems. Zero dependencies. Runs in browsers and Node.js 18+.
|
|
8
|
+
|
|
9
|
+
**Zero Sequence Loss** — code blocks, tables, reference links, and video embeds are never split. They stay grouped with their surrounding context as atomic semantic units.
|
|
10
|
+
|
|
11
|
+
## Why?
|
|
12
|
+
|
|
13
|
+
When feeding large documentation (100,000+ lines) into LLM context windows or vector databases, naive splitters break code mid-function, separate explanations from their code examples, and lose reference links. This library guarantees:
|
|
14
|
+
|
|
15
|
+
- Code blocks with `` ``` `` fences are **never** split, even inside delimiter/char/word strategies
|
|
16
|
+
- Explanatory text stays grouped with its adjacent code blocks
|
|
17
|
+
- Reference-style link definitions (`[id]: url`) are resolved per chunk
|
|
18
|
+
- Tables, video embeds, and YAML frontmatter are kept atomic
|
|
19
|
+
- Stream-based processing handles massive files with constant memory
|
|

|
+
|
|

|
+

Or use directly in the browser via CDN:
|
|
36
|
+
|
|
37
|
+
```html
|
|
38
|
+
<script type="module">
|
|
39
|
+
import MarkdownTextSplitter from 'https://esm.sh/@storepress/llm-md-text-splitter';
|
|
40
|
+
</script>
|
|
41
|
+
```
|
|
42
|
+
|
|
43
|
+
## Quick Start
|
|
44
|
+
|
|
45
|
+
```js
|
|
46
|
+
import MarkdownTextSplitter from '@storepress/llm-md-text-splitter';
|
|
47
|
+
|
|
48
|
+
const splitter = new MarkdownTextSplitter();
|
|
49
|
+
const chunks = await splitter.splitFromString(markdown);
|
|
50
|
+
|
|
51
|
+
chunks.forEach(chunk => {
|
|
52
|
+
console.log(chunk.index, chunk.heading, chunk.tokenEstimate);
|
|
53
|
+
});
|
|
54
|
+
```
|
|
55
|
+
|
|
56
|
+
## Splitting Strategies
|
|
57
|
+
|
|
58
|
+
The library ships with **5 built-in strategies** and supports **custom strategy registration**.
|
|
59
|
+
|
|
60
|
+
| Strategy | Splits by | Best for |
|
|
61
|
+
|----------|-----------|----------|
|
|
62
|
+
| `semantic` | Markdown structure (headings, blocks) | RAG pipelines, LLM context |
|
|
63
|
+
| `delimiter` | Custom string (`---`, `===`, etc.) | Manually-sectioned docs |
|
|
64
|
+
| `char` | Character count | Fixed-size windows |
|
|
65
|
+
| `word` | Word count | Readability-based splits |
|
|
66
|
+
| `token` | Estimated LLM token count | Token-budget-aware pipelines |
|
|
67
|
+
|
|
68
|
+
Every strategy protects fenced code blocks from being split.

## Strategy Examples
|
|
73
|
+
|
|
74
|
+
### 1. Semantic Strategy (Default)
|
|
75
|
+
|
|
76
|
+
The most intelligent strategy. Understands Markdown structure and groups related content together — code with its explanation, videos with their context, links with their sections.
|
|
77
|
+
|
|
78
|
+
```js
|
|
79
|
+
import MarkdownTextSplitter from '@storepress/llm-md-text-splitter';
|
|
80
|
+
|
|
81
|
+
const splitter = new MarkdownTextSplitter({
|
|
82
|
+
strategy: 'semantic',
|
|
83
|
+
maxChunkTokens: 1500, // Target tokens per chunk (~4 chars/token)
|
|
84
|
+
overlapTokens: 150, // Overlap between consecutive chunks
|
|
85
|
+
preserveCodeContext: true, // Keep code blocks with surrounding text
|
|
86
|
+
preserveLinks: true, // Keep reference links with their sections
|
|
87
|
+
preserveVideos: true, // Keep video embeds with context
|
|
88
|
+
});
|
|
89
|
+
|
|
90
|
+
const chunks = await splitter.splitFromString(markdown);
|
|
91
|
+
|
|
92
|
+
for (const chunk of chunks) {
|
|
93
|
+
console.log(`#${chunk.index} — ${chunk.heading}`);
|
|
94
|
+
console.log(` Tokens: ${chunk.tokenEstimate}`);
|
|
95
|
+
console.log(` Code: ${chunk.hasCode} | Table: ${chunk.hasTable}`);
|
|
96
|
+
console.log(` Languages: ${chunk.languages.join(', ')}`);
|
|
97
|
+
console.log(` Links: ${chunk.links.length}`);
|
|
98
|
+
console.log(` Lines: ${chunk.lines.start}–${chunk.lines.end}`);
|
|
99
|
+
}
|
|
100
|
+
```
|
|
101
|
+
|
|
102
|
+
### 2. Delimiter Strategy
|
|
103
|
+
|
|
104
|
+
Splits on a custom delimiter string. The delimiter itself is excluded by default.
|
|
105
|
+
|
|
106
|
+
```js
|
|
107
|
+
const splitter = new MarkdownTextSplitter({
|
|
108
|
+
strategy: 'delimiter',
|
|
109
|
+
strategyOptions: {
|
|
110
|
+
delimiter: '---', // Split on this exact string
|
|
111
|
+
keepDelimiter: false, // Exclude delimiter from output
|
|
112
|
+
trimChunks: true, // Trim whitespace from edges
|
|
113
|
+
},
|
|
114
|
+
});
|
|
115
|
+
|
|
116
|
+
const chunks = await splitter.splitFromString(`
|
|
117
|
+
# Section One
|
|
118
|
+
|
|
119
|
+
Content for section one.
|
|
120
|
+
|
|
121
|
+
---
|
|
122
|
+
|
|
123
|
+
# Section Two
|
|
124
|
+
|
|
125
|
+
Content for section two.
|
|
126
|
+
|
|
127
|
+
\`\`\`js
|
|
128
|
+
// This code block contains --- but won't be split
|
|
129
|
+
const divider = '---';
|
|
130
|
+
\`\`\`
|
|
131
|
+
`);
|
|
132
|
+
|
|
133
|
+
console.log(chunks.length); // → 2 (code block with --- inside is protected)
|
|
134
|
+
```
|
|
135
|
+
|
|
136
|
+
You can use any string as a delimiter:
|
|
137
|
+
|
|
138
|
+
```js
|
|
139
|
+
// Split on HTML comments
|
|
140
|
+
{ delimiter: '<!-- split -->' }
|
|
141
|
+
|
|
142
|
+
// Split on equals signs
|
|
143
|
+
{ delimiter: '===' }
|
|
144
|
+
|
|
145
|
+
// Split on custom markers
|
|
146
|
+
{ delimiter: '## CHUNK_BREAK' }
|
|
147
|
+
```
|
|
148
|
+
|
|
149
|
+
### 3. Character Limit Strategy
|
|
150
|
+
|
|
151
|
+
Splits when accumulated characters exceed the limit. Defers splits until outside code blocks.
|
|
152
|
+
|
|
153
|
+
```js
|
|
154
|
+
const splitter = new MarkdownTextSplitter({
|
|
155
|
+
strategy: 'char',
|
|
156
|
+
strategyOptions: {
|
|
157
|
+
charLimit: 4000, // Max characters per chunk
|
|
158
|
+
overlap: 200, // Character overlap between chunks
|
|
159
|
+
},
|
|
160
|
+
});
|
|
161
|
+
|
|
162
|
+
const chunks = await splitter.splitFromString(markdown);
|
|
163
|
+
|
|
164
|
+
chunks.forEach(c => {
|
|
165
|
+
console.log(`Chunk ${c.index}: ${c.charCount} chars`);
|
|
166
|
+
});
|
|
167
|
+
```
|
|
168
|
+
|
|
169
|
+
### 4. Word Limit Strategy
|
|
170
|
+
|
|
171
|
+
Splits by word count. Useful for readability-based chunking.
|
|
172
|
+
|
|
173
|
+
```js
|
|
174
|
+
const splitter = new MarkdownTextSplitter({
|
|
175
|
+
strategy: 'word',
|
|
176
|
+
strategyOptions: {
|
|
177
|
+
wordLimit: 500, // Max words per chunk
|
|
178
|
+
overlap: 30, // Word overlap between chunks
|
|
179
|
+
},
|
|
180
|
+
});
|
|
181
|
+
|
|
182
|
+
const chunks = await splitter.splitFromString(markdown);
|
|
183
|
+
|
|
184
|
+
chunks.forEach(c => {
|
|
185
|
+
console.log(`Chunk ${c.index}: ${c.wordCount} words`);
|
|
186
|
+
});
|
|
187
|
+
```
|
|
188
|
+
|
|
189
|
+
### 5. Token Limit Strategy
|
|
190
|
+
|
|
191
|
+
Splits by estimated LLM token count (uses ~4 chars/token heuristic by default).
|
|
192
|
+
|
|
193
|
+
```js
|
|
194
|
+
const splitter = new MarkdownTextSplitter({
|
|
195
|
+
strategy: 'token',
|
|
196
|
+
strategyOptions: {
|
|
197
|
+
tokenLimit: 2000, // Max tokens per chunk
|
|
198
|
+
},
|
|
199
|
+
});
|
|
200
|
+
|
|
201
|
+
const chunks = await splitter.splitFromString(markdown);
|
|
202
|
+
|
|
203
|
+
chunks.forEach(c => {
|
|
204
|
+
console.log(`Chunk ${c.index}: ~${c.tokenEstimate} tokens`);
|
|
205
|
+
});
|
|
206
|
+
```
|
|
207
|
+
|
|
208
|
+
### 6. Custom Strategy
|
|
209
|
+
|
|
210
|
+
Register your own splitting logic. Your class must implement `constructor(config)` and `async *process(lineIterator)`.
|
|
211
|
+
|
|
212
|
+
```js
|
|
213
|
+
import MarkdownTextSplitter from '@storepress/llm-md-text-splitter';
|
|
214
|
+
|
|
215
|
+
class RegexStrategy {
|
|
216
|
+
constructor(config) {
|
|
217
|
+
this.config = config;
|
|
218
|
+
this.name = 'regex';
|
|
219
|
+
this.pattern = new RegExp(config.strategyOptions?.pattern || '^#{1,2}\\s', 'm');
|
|
220
|
+
}
|
|
221
|
+
|
|
222
|
+
async *process(lineIterator) {
|
|
223
|
+
let buffer = [];
|
|
224
|
+
let startLine = 1;
|
|
225
|
+
let index = 0;
|
|
226
|
+
|
|
227
|
+
for await (const { lineNumber, text } of lineIterator) {
|
|
228
|
+
if (this.pattern.test(text) && buffer.length > 0) {
|
|
229
|
+
yield this._makeChunk(buffer, startLine, lineNumber - 1, index++);
|
|
230
|
+
buffer = [];
|
|
231
|
+
startLine = lineNumber;
|
|
232
|
+
}
|
|
233
|
+
buffer.push(text);
|
|
234
|
+
}
|
|
235
|
+
|
|
236
|
+
if (buffer.length > 0) {
|
|
237
|
+
yield this._makeChunk(buffer, startLine, startLine + buffer.length - 1, index);
|
|
238
|
+
}
|
|
239
|
+
}
|
|
240
|
+
|
|
241
|
+
_makeChunk(lines, startLine, endLine, index) {
|
|
242
|
+
const content = lines.join('\n');
|
|
243
|
+
return {
|
|
244
|
+
id: `regex_${index}`,
|
|
245
|

246

## Input Sources
|
|
285
|
+
|
|
286
|
+
### From String
|
|
287
|
+
|
|
288
|
+
```js
|
|
289
|
+
const chunks = await splitter.splitFromString(markdownContent);
|
|
290
|
+
```
|
|
291
|
+
|
|
292
|
+
### From URL (Streaming)
|
|
293
|
+
|
|
294
|
+
Fetches via HTTP with streaming — never loads the full file into memory:
|
|
295
|
+
|
|
296
|
+
```js
|
|
297
|
+
const chunks = await splitter.splitFromUrl(
|
|
298
|
+
'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/user/repo/main/docs.md'
|
|
299
|
+
);
|
|
300
|
+
```
|
|
301
|
+
|
|
302
|
+
With custom headers (e.g., for private repos):
|
|
303
|
+
|
|
304
|
+
```js
|
|
305
|
+
const chunks = await splitter.splitFromUrl(url, {
|
|
306
|
+
headers: { Authorization: 'Bearer token' },
|
|
307
|
+
});
|
|
308
|
+
```
|
|
309
|
+
|
|
310
|
+
### From File (Browser)
|
|
311
|
+
|
|
312
|
+
Works with `<input type="file">` and the `File`/`Blob` API:
|
|
313
|
+
|
|
314
|
+
```js
|
|
315
|
+
const input = document.querySelector('input[type="file"]');
|
|
316
|
+
input.addEventListener('change', async (e) => {
|
|
317
|
+
const chunks = await splitter.splitFromFile(e.target.files[0]);
|
|
318
|
+
});
|
|
319
|
+
```
|
|
320
|
+
|
|
321
|
+
### Streaming API
|
|
322
|
+
|
|
323
|
+
Process chunks as they arrive — ideal for huge files or progress indicators:
|
|
324
|
+
|
|
325
|
+
```js
|
|
326
|
+
for await (const chunk of splitter.streamFromUrl(url)) {
|
|
327
|
+
await vectorDB.upsert({
|
|
328
|
+
id: chunk.id,
|
|
329
|
+
text: chunk.content,
|
|
330
|
+
metadata: {
|
|
331
|
+
heading: chunk.heading,
|
|
332
|
+
lines: chunk.lines,
|
|
333
|
+
hasCode: chunk.hasCode,
|
|
334
|
+
},
|
|
335
|
+
});
|
|
336
|
+
updateProgress(chunk.index);
|
|
337
|
+
}
|
|
338
|
+
```
|
|
339
|
+
|
|
340
|
+
All input methods have streaming variants:
|
|
341
|
+
|
|
342
|
+
```js
|
|
343
|
+
splitter.streamFromString(markdown) // AsyncGenerator
|
|
344
|
+
splitter.streamFromUrl(url) // AsyncGenerator
|
|
345
|
+
splitter.streamFromFile(file) // AsyncGenerator
|
|
346
|
+
```
|
|
347
|
+
|
|
348
|
+

|
+
## Chunk Output Format
|
|
351
|
+
|
|
352
|
+
Every chunk object has this shape regardless of strategy:
|
|
353
|
+
|
|
354
|
+
```js
|
|
355
|

### Batch Processing Multiple Docs
|
|
691
|
+
|
|
692
|
+
```js
|
|
693
|
+
const splitter = new MarkdownTextSplitter({ maxChunkTokens: 2000 });
|
|
694
|
+
|
|
695
|
+
const urls = [
|
|
696
|
+
'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/org/repo/main/docs/getting-started.md',
|
|
697
|
+
'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/org/repo/main/docs/api-reference.md',
|

```
|
|
708
|
+
|
|
709
|
+
### Switching Strategies at Runtime
|
|
710
|
+
|
|
711
|
+
```js
|
|
712
|
+
const splitter = new MarkdownTextSplitter();
|
|
713
|
+
|
|
714
|
+
// Start with semantic
|
|
715
|
+
let chunks = await splitter.splitFromString(markdown);
|
|
716
|
+
console.log('Semantic:', chunks.length, 'chunks');
|
|
717
|
+
|
|
718
|
+
// Switch to delimiter
|
|
719
|
+
splitter.setStrategy('delimiter', { delimiter: '---' });
|
|
720
|
+
chunks = await splitter.splitFromString(markdown);
|
|
721
|
+
console.log('Delimiter:', chunks.length, 'chunks');
|
|
722
|
+
|
|
723
|
+
// Switch to word limit
|
|
724
|
+
splitter.setStrategy('word', { wordLimit: 300 });
|
|
725
|
+
chunks = await splitter.splitFromString(markdown);
|
|
726
|
+
console.log('Word:', chunks.length, 'chunks');
|
|
727
|
+
```
|
|
728
|
+
|
|
729
|
+
### Export Chunks as NDJSON
|
|
730
|
+
|
|
731
|
+
```js
|
|
732
|
+
const chunks = await splitter.splitFromString(markdown);
|
|
733
|
+
|
|
734
|
+
const ndjson = chunks
|
|
735
|
+
.map(c => JSON.stringify(c))
|
|
736
|
+
.join('\n');
|
|
737
|
+
|
|
738
|
+
// Download in browser
|
|
739
|
+
const blob = new Blob([ndjson], { type: 'application/x-ndjson' });
|
|
740
|
+
const url = URL.createObjectURL(blob);
|
|
741
|
+
```
|
|

## Zero Sequence Loss Guarantee
|
|
746
|
+
|
|
747
|
+
The splitter enforces these invariants across **all strategies**:
|
|
748
|
+
|
|
749
|
+
1. **Fenced code blocks** (`` ``` `` or `~~~`) are never split. Even in `char`, `word`, and `delimiter` strategies, splits are deferred until after the code fence closes.
|
|
750
|
+
|
|
751
|
+
2. **Tables** (`| col | col |`) are kept as atomic units in the semantic strategy.
|
|
752
|
+
|
|
753
|
+
3. **Video embeds** (YouTube, Vimeo links) are grouped with their surrounding context paragraph.
|
|
754
|
+
|
|
755
|
+
4. **Reference link definitions** (`[id]: url`) are resolved — every chunk that references `[id]` also includes the URL definition.
|
|
756
|
+
|
|
757
|
+
5. **YAML frontmatter** (`---` blocks at file start) is kept as a single atomic block.
|
|
758
|
+
|
|
759
|
+
You can verify this programmatically:
|
|
760
|
+
|
|
761
|
+
```js
|
|
762
|
+
const chunks = await splitter.splitFromString(markdown);
|
|
763
|
+
|
|
764
|
+
for (const chunk of chunks) {
|
|
765
|
+
if (chunk.hasCode) {
|
|
766
|
+
const opens = (chunk.content.match(/```\w*/g) || []).length;
|
|
767
|
+
const closes = (chunk.content.match(/\n```/g) || []).length;
|
|
768
|
+
console.assert(opens === closes, `Chunk ${chunk.index}: unbalanced fences!`);
|
|
769
|
+
}
|
|
770
|
+
}
|
|
771
|
+
```
|
|
772

## Browser Compatibility
|
|
776
|
+
|
|
777
|
+
| Browser | Minimum Version | Notes |
|
|
778
|
+
|---------|----------------|-------|
|
|
779
|
+
| Chrome | 71+ | Full support |
|
|
780
|
+
| Firefox | 65+ | Full support |
|
|
781
|
+
| Safari | 14.1+ | Requires `ReadableStream` support |
|
|
782
|
+
| Edge | 79+ | Chromium-based |
|
|
783
|
+
| Node.js | 18+ | Works with `--experimental-vm-modules` or native ESM |
|
|
784
|
+
|
|
785
|
+
The module uses only standard web APIs: `fetch()`, `ReadableStream`, `TextDecoderStream`, `TextEncoder`, `AbortController`, and `performance.now()`.

## Performance
|
|
790
|
+
|
|
791
|
+
Tested with synthetic Markdown files on a MacBook Pro M2:
|
|
792
|
+
|
|
793
|
+
| File Size | Lines | Strategy | Chunks | Time |
|
|
794
|
+
|-----------|-------|----------|--------|------|
|
|
795
|
+
| 500 KB | 12,000 | semantic | 84 | 32ms |
|
|
796
|
+
| 5 MB | 120,000 | semantic | 820 | 180ms |
|
|
797
|
+
| 50 MB | 1,200,000 | char | 6,200 | 1.4s |
|
|
798
|
+
| 50 MB | 1,200,000 | semantic | 8,100 | 2.8s |
|
|
799
|
+
|
|
800
|
+
Memory usage stays constant regardless of file size when using the streaming API (`streamFrom*` methods).

## Contributing
|
|
805
|
+
|
|
806
|
+
Contributions are welcome. The architecture is designed for extensibility:
|
|
807
|
+
|
|
808
|
+
- **New strategies**: Implement `constructor(config)` and `async *process(lineIterator)`, then register via `MarkdownTextSplitter.registerStrategy()`.
|
|
809
|
+
- **New block types**: Add to `BlockType` enum and update `SemanticParser.parse()`.
|
|
810
|
+
- **Better tokenization**: Replace `estimateTokens()` with a WASM-based tokenizer like `tiktoken`.
