Usage

Basic Usage

from pyadf import Document

# Convert ADF document to markdown
adf_data = {
    "type": "doc",
    "content": [
        {
            "type": "paragraph",
            "content": [
                {"type": "text", "text": "Hello, "},
                {"type": "text", "text": "world!", "marks": [{"type": "strong"}]}
            ]
        }
    ]
}

doc = Document(adf_data)
markdown_text = doc.to_markdown()
print(markdown_text)
# Output: Hello, **world!**

Converting from JSON String

from pyadf import Document

# Convert from JSON string
adf_json = '{"type": "doc", "content": [...]}'
doc = Document(adf_json)
markdown = doc.to_markdown()

Converting Individual Nodes

from pyadf import Document

# Convert a single node (any ADF node type)
node = {
    "type": "heading",
    "attrs": {"level": 2},
    "content": [
        {"type": "text", "text": "My Heading"}
    ]
}

doc = Document(node)
markdown = doc.to_markdown()
print(markdown)
# Output: ## My Heading

Error Handling

The library provides detailed error handling with specific exceptions:

from pyadf import Document, InvalidJSONError, UnsupportedNodeTypeError

try:
    doc = Document('invalid json')
except InvalidJSONError as e:
    print(f"Invalid JSON: {e}")

try:
    doc = Document({"type": "unsupported_type"})
except UnsupportedNodeTypeError as e:
    print(f"Unsupported node: {e}")

Debug Mode

Enable debug mode for detailed logging:

from pyadf import Document, set_debug_mode

set_debug_mode(True)
doc = Document(adf_data)
markdown = doc.to_markdown()

Customizing Markdown Output

Use MarkdownConfig to customize the generated markdown:

from pyadf import Document, MarkdownConfig

doc = Document(adf_data)

# Default bullet marker is +
doc.to_markdown()  # "+ Item 1\n+ Item 2"

# Use * for bullet lists
config = MarkdownConfig(bullet_marker="*")
doc.to_markdown(config)  # "* Item 1\n* Item 2"

# Use - for bullet lists
config = MarkdownConfig(bullet_marker="-")
doc.to_markdown(config)  # "- Item 1\n- Item 2"

Available options:

Option	Values	Default	Description
bullet_marker	+, -, *	+	Character used for bullet list items
