htmltoadf

htmltoadf is an HTML to Atlassian Document Format (ADF) converter written in Rust.

The library can be used in several different ways:

• As a command line binary (either directly on a compatible host or using Docker)
• Included as a library within a Rust project
• Called from a different language or environment (e.g. C, JavaScript, Ruby, PHP, .NET etc.) using FFI
• Called as a Web Assembly (wasm) module

Demo

See demo of the tool running as a WASM library entirely in the client here: https://wouterken.github.io/htmltoadf/

Lib

Example Rust Code

Cargo.toml

[dependencies]
htmltoadf = "0.1.10"

Code

use htmltoadf::convert_html_str_to_adf_str;
use serde_json::json;

let converted = convert_html_str_to_adf_str("<h1>Hello World</h1>".to_string());
let expected = json!({
    "version": 1,
    "type": "doc",
    "content": [
        {
            "type": "heading",
            "attrs": {
                "level": 1
            },
            "content": [
                {
                    "type": "text",
                    "text": "Hello World"
                }
            ]
        }
    ]
}).to_string();

assert_eq!(expected, converted);

WASM

Install package from npm

import init, {convert} from "htmltoadf";
init()
  .then(() => {
    alert(convert("<h1>Hello from WebAssembly</h1>"))
  });

FFI

First compile the code as a library, e.g.:

cargo build --lib --release

Then you can link to the library dynamic from any environment that supports a FFI. It is important to copy the dynamic library from the release directory, and provide a relative link to the library file from the FFI

E.g.

Ruby

require 'ffi'

module HTMLToADF
  extend FFI::Library
  ffi_lib 'libhtmltoadf'
  attach_function :convert, [ :string ], :string
end

puts HTMLToADF.convert("<h1>Hello from Ruby</h1>")

Node/JavaScript

var ffi = require('ffi-napi');

var htmltoadf = ffi.Library('libhtmltoadf', {
  'convert': [ 'string', [ 'string' ] ]
});
console.log(htmltoadf.convert("<h1>Hello from Node!</h1>"));

Python

from cffi import FFI
ffi = FFI()
lib = ffi.dlopen("libhtmltoadf")
ffi.cdef("char * convert(char *);")
print(ffi.string(lib.convert(b"<h1>Hello from Python!</h1>")))

Implemented features

This converter only implements a subset of possible mappings between HTML and ADF. The following features are implemented:

• Headings
• Images
• Lists (ordered and unordered)
• Tables
• Text and Paragraphs
• Code
• Fuzz Tests
• Support for named CSS colors
• Smart image sizing
• Inline Cards
• Panels
• Emoji
• In built JSON Schema Validation

Release Process

• Increment version number in .toml and README
• Compile binaries and create release
• Build and push Docker image
• Build and push WASM NPM package
• Push crate
• Update dependency in demo page
• Push to VCS

Testing

Run cargo test from the repository root.
