Today, we're releasing a major update to Streamdown, our drop-in replacement for react-markdown, designed for AI-powered streaming.

Copy link to headingStreamdown Plugins

The most requested feature since launch has been to reduce the bundle size. Streamdown v2 now ships with a bundle size much smaller than the previous version and uses a plugin-based architecture.

import { Streamdown } from 'streamdown';

import { code } from '@streamdown/code';

import { mermaid } from '@streamdown/mermaid';

import { math } from '@streamdown/math';

import { cjk } from '@streamdown/cjk';

// Import KaTeX styles for math rendering

import 'katex/dist/katex.min.css';

export default function Page() {

const markdown = `# Hello, world`;

return (

<Streamdown plugins={{ code, mermaid, math, cjk }}>

{markdown}

</Streamdown>

);

}

Copy link to headingCarets

Streamdown now includes built-in caret (cursor) indicators that display at the end of streaming content. Carets provide a visual cue to users that content is actively being generated, similar to a blinking cursor in a text editor.

Copy link to headingConfigurable Remend

Our underlying markdown-healing library Remend is now configurable. You can choose how much healing you would prefer during the markdown streaming.
