GroupDocs.Markdown provides a quick and easy way to convert documents into clean, structured Markdown. The library offers two approaches: static methods for one-line conversions and an instance API for more control.
Static methods (simplest)
Call MarkdownConverter.toMarkdown() to get a Markdown string, or MarkdownConverter.toFile() to write directly to disk:
importcom.groupdocs.markdown.*;publicclassStaticMethods{publicstaticvoidmain(String[]args){Stringmd=MarkdownConverter.toMarkdown("business-plan.docx");// # Quarterly Report
//
// ## Executive Summary
//
// This report covers the key initiatives...
MarkdownConverter.toFile("business-plan.docx","static-methods.md");}}
Instance API
Create a MarkdownConverter instance for advanced scenarios such as inspecting metadata before converting or reusing a loaded document:
Use DocumentConvertOptions to customize the output – select specific pages, control image handling, choose a Markdown flavor, add YAML front matter, and more. For loading customization, use LoadOptions to specify file format or provide a password.
These documentation articles explain how to convert files from the most popular formats:
