Front Matter API
Read and write the front-matter metadata block at the top of Markdown and content files — the --- ... --- header used by Jekyll, Hugo, Astro, Eleventy, Gatsby, Next.js MDX and Obsidian. The parse endpoint splits a document into its structured front-matter data (title, tags, date, draft flags and anything else, as proper JSON), the body content and an optional excerpt, and tells you whether front matter was present. The stringify endpoint does the reverse: give it a JSON object of fields and a body, and it returns a clean Markdown file with a YAML front-matter block. Front matter is read as YAML (which also accepts JSON). Perfect for static-site build steps, headless-CMS imports, content migrations and validating posts. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant; send large documents via POST. Live, nothing stored. 3 endpoints. Distinct from Markdown rendering / table-of-contents extraction and from YAML/TOML format conversion.
