Should I be using Micromark extensions or Remark/Rehype plugins?

[chopfitzroy]

I want to use react-markdown to render Markdown with some directives.

In the README it mentions:

We use micromark under the hood for our parsing. See its documentation for more information on markdown, CommonMark, and extensions.

The README suggests Remark/Rehype plugins so I am assuming this is the correct approach but the above line confused me so I wanted to clarify, should be trying to use remark-directive or micromark-extension-directive to handle directives?

I am new to the space and still trying to wrap my head around Micromark/Remark/Rehype.

For react markdown, use remark plugins.
They use and configure the micromark plugins under the hood for you.

Remark adds an abstract syntax trees on top which is nicer to work with, you can learn more about it here: https://unifiedjs.com/learn/
