What is gray-matter?
gray-matter is a parser that extracts front-matter metadata from strings or files, commonly used with markdown documents. It supports YAML by default but also handles JSON, TOML, and CoffeeScript formats, with customizable delimiters for different use cases. Developers use it to separate structured data from content in static site generators, documentation tools, and template processing workflows.
