📦 Installation

Prerequisites

Rust 1.70+ (for compilation)
Cargo (comes with Rust)

Building from Source

git clone https://github.com/WillIsback/doc_loader.git
cd doc_loader
cargo build --release

Available Binaries

After building, you'll have access to these CLI tools:

doc_loader - Universal document processor
pdf_processor - PDF-specific processor
txt_processor - Plain text processor
json_processor - JSON document processor
csv_processor - CSV file processor
docx_processor - DOCX document processor

🔧 Usage

Universal Processor

Process any supported document type with the main binary:

# Basic usage
./target/release/doc_loader --input document.pdf

# With custom options
./target/release/doc_loader \
    --input document.pdf \
    --output result.json \
    --chunk-size 1500 \
    --chunk-overlap 150 \
    --detect-language \
    --pretty

Format-Specific Processors

Use specialized processors for specific formats:

# Process a PDF
./target/release/pdf_processor --input report.pdf --pretty

# Process a CSV with analysis
./target/release/csv_processor --input data.csv --output analysis.json

# Process a JSON document
./target/release/json_processor --input config.json --detect-language

Command Line Options

All processors support these common options:

--input <FILE> - Input file path (required)
--output <FILE> - Output JSON file (optional, defaults to stdout)
--chunk-size <SIZE> - Maximum chunk size in characters (default: 1000)
--chunk-overlap <SIZE> - Overlap between chunks (default: 100)
--no-cleaning - Disable text cleaning
--detect-language - Enable language detection
--pretty - Pretty print JSON output

📋 Output Format

All processors generate a standardized JSON structure:

use std::path::Path;

fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    let processor = UniversalProcessor::new();
    let params = ProcessingParams::default()
        .with_chunk_size(1500)
        .with_language_detection(true);
    
    let result = processor.process_file(
        Path::new("document.pdf"), 
        Some(params)
    )?;
    
    println!("Extracted {} chunks", result.chunks.len());
    Ok(())
}

Doc Loader - Making document processing simple, fast, and universal! 🚀

🐍 Python Bindings ✅

Doc Loader provides fully functional Python bindings through PyO3, offering the same performance as the native Rust library with a clean Python API.

Installation

# Via PyPI (recommandé)
pip install extracteur-docs-rs

# Ou build depuis les sources
# Create virtual environment
python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate

# Install maturin build tool
pip install maturin

# Build and install Python bindings (Python 3.9+ supported)
venv/bin/maturin develop --features python --release

Usage

import extracteur_docs_rs as doc_loader

# Quick start - process any supported file format
result = doc_loader.process_file("document.pdf", chunk_size=500)

print(f"Chunks: {result.chunk_count()}")
print(f"Words: {result.total_word_count()}")
print(f"Supported formats: {doc_loader.supported_extensions()}")

# Advanced usage with custom parameters
processor = doc_loader.PyUniversalProcessor()
params = doc_loader.PyProcessingParams(
    chunk_size=400,
    overlap=60,
    clean_text=True,
    extract_metadata=True
)

result = processor.process_file("document.txt", params)

# Process text content directly
text_result = processor.process_text_content("Your text here...", params)

# Export to JSON
json_output = result.to_json()

Python Integration Examples

✅ RAG/Embedding Pipeline: Direct integration with sentence-transformers
✅ Data Analysis: Export to pandas DataFrames
✅ REST API: Flask/FastAPI endpoints

All file formats supported (PDF, TXT, JSON, CSV, DOCX)
Complete API coverage matching Rust functionality
Proper error handling with Python exceptions
Full parameter customization
Comprehensive documentation and examples

Run the demo: venv/bin/python python_demo.py
