Does it support nested objects or anchors?

It handles flat keys, primitive values (string, number, bool, null), bracket arrays, and YAML block arrays. Complex nesting, references, anchors and multi-line strings need a full YAML library — for those, parse with `js-yaml` or your framework's loader.

What if there's no frontmatter?

The whole input is treated as the body. You'll see a hint saying no frontmatter was detected, and the body / word count still works.

Markdown Frontmatter Parser

Static-site frameworks (Astro, Hugo, Jekyll, Next.js MDX, Gatsby) all put metadata in a fenced block at the top of each `.md` / `.mdx` file. This tool detects whether that block is YAML (`---`), TOML (`+++`), or JSON (`{...}`), parses it into a JSON object you can copy into a CMS migration script, and shows the rest of the file as the body with word/char counts. The parser is intentionally simple — flat keys, primitive values, bracket arrays, basic block arrays — so it handles 95% of real frontmatter without dragging in a full YAML library.

How to use

Drop a `.md` / `.mdx` file or paste raw text starting with `---` (YAML), `+++` (TOML), or `{` (JSON).
The fenced block is parsed into a field table and a JSON object below.
The body underneath gets shown separately — copy it to feed a content pipeline that doesn't need the frontmatter.
