For a document, it does need to be a dictionary... what kind of document is it trying to extract? or is it more of a data file?

Yeah; it was a data file. I implemented a workaround by adding a top-level key, but I think this shouldn't fail outright on data files.

I still want to rework how the extraction is done... when we do we could look at making the extraction process more lenient with the data format.
