Rather than going the way of regular expression pegdown relies on a PEG parser. And it passes the original Markdown Testsuite to 100% (ignoring whitespace).Mathiasnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-336308386934546555.post-5758623289042247242010-03-14T22:30:53.019+08:002010-03-14T22:30:53.019+08:00Maybe you should redo it using Google&#39;s Java Regex library, which runs in constant time:<br /><br />http://google-opensource.blogspot.com/2010/03/re2-principled-approach-to-regular.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-336308386934546555.post-89891898175848090612010-01-06T12:03:37.966+08:002010-01-06T12:03:37.966+08:00The code was built and run against Java 6u17 (32 bit on Windows 7/64).<br /><br />The code is written to the Java 5 level (which basically means no @Override annotations on interface implementations).William Shieldshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18356811199950883367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-336308386934546555.post-83917762347036281552010-01-06T11:57:29.842+08:002010-01-06T11:57:29.842+08:00hi there,<br /><br /> did you build against JDK 6 or JDK 5 ?<br />also, did you use 32-bit bverson or 64 bit version ?<br /><br />thank you,<br /><br />BR,<br />~Aanjanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16449602007724039717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-336308386934546555.post-42625136445237155852010-01-06T04:50:27.304+08:002010-01-06T04:50:27.304+08:00No I didn&#39;t benchmark against MarkdownJ.<br /><br />Considering both are written in a similar fashion (regexes based on the original Perl Markdown) I&#39;d be surprised if they were much different.<br /><br />That regex-based version however is (for me) just a stopgap to the real version currently being written (more on this later).William Shieldshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18356811199950883367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-336308386934546555.post-36661656068882143062010-01-06T00:32:23.784+08:002010-01-06T00:32:23.784+08:00Did you benchmark it against the existing MarkdownJ?Dave Newtonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13420113088393527059noreply@blogger.com
