quire (noun) — a gathering of sheets, folded together; from Latin quaternī (four each). In bookbinding, the fundamental unit of structure from which a complete volume is assembled.
Structured document interaction library — Parse, query, and render markdown document sections as typed React components.
Quire takes raw markdown content and provides:
- Parsing — split documents into a typed section tree
- Querying — access sections, tables, lists, and diagrams by name
- Rich rendering — render parsed objects as custom React components (badges, icons, interactive tables)
- Markdown fallback — sections without custom renderers display via
markdown-editor(read-only) - Write-back — modify sections and serialize back to markdown
Layer 3: React Context — QuireProvider, SectionCard, SectionTable, AutoSections
Layer 2: Query API — section(), tables(), lists(), diagrams(), search()
Layer 1: Parser — parseDocument(), extractFrontmatter(), parseBulletList()
Layers 1+2 are pure TypeScript with zero React dependency — usable by agents, scripts, and CLI tools.
