Kotlin (Android) API Reference

Extract content from a single bytes or URI input.

Signature:

@Throws(Error::class)
fun extract(input: ExtractInput, config: ExtractionConfig): ExtractionResult

Example:

val result = extract(ExtractInput(), ExtractionConfig())

Parameters:

Name Type Required Description
input ExtractInput Yes The input data
config ExtractionConfig Yes The configuration options

Returns: ExtractionResult

Errors: Throws Error.


Extract content from multiple bytes or URI inputs.

Signature:

@Throws(Error::class)
fun extractBatch(inputs: List<ExtractInput>, config: ExtractionConfig): ExtractionResult

Example:

val result = extractBatch([], ExtractionConfig())

Parameters:

Name Type Required Description
inputs List<ExtractInput> Yes The inputs
config ExtractionConfig Yes The configuration options

Returns: ExtractionResult

Errors: Throws Error.


Discover all pages and sitemaps reachable from uri without extracting document content.

Builds a crawlberg.CrawlEngine from config.crawl, calls CrawlEngine.map, and returns the set of discovered URLs as a crawlberg.MapResult (re-exported as MapResult).

Use this when you need the URL inventory of a site before committing to full document extraction — e.g. to build a crawl queue or validate scope.

Errors:

Returns Validation if the crawl configuration fails validation or if the map operation itself fails.

Signature:

@Throws(Error::class)
fun mapUrl(uri: String, config: UrlExtractionConfig): MapResult

Example:

val result = mapUrl("value", UrlExtractionConfig())

Parameters:

Name Type Required Description
uri String Yes The uri
config UrlExtractionConfig Yes The configuration options

Returns: MapResult

Errors: Throws Error.


List all supported document formats.

Returns every file extension Xberg recognizes together with its corresponding MIME type, derived from the central format registry. Formats that have no registered file extension (such as source code, which is detected dynamically) are not included.

The static EXT_TO_MIME table lists every format the codebase knows how to describe, regardless of which Cargo features were compiled in. Advertising that table directly would claim support for extractors that may not exist in this build (see GH#1387). To keep the advertised catalogue honest, the table is intersected with the document extractor registry: an extension is only included if some registered extractor actually claims its MIME type in this build. This can never drift from reality and automatically covers third-party extractors registered at runtime.

The list is sorted alphabetically by file extension.

Returns:

A vector of SupportedFormat entries sorted by extension, limited to formats with a registered extractor in this build.

Signature:

fun listSupportedFormats(): List<SupportedFormat>

Example:

val result = listSupportedFormats()

Returns: List<SupportedFormat>


Ensure built-in extractors are registered.

This function is called automatically on first extraction operation. It’s safe to call multiple times - registration only happens once, unless the registry was cleared, in which case extractors are re-registered.

Public so a caller that wants to inspect the registry — rather than extract — can populate it directly. Without this the only way to trigger registration is to run a real extraction, which xberg formats would otherwise have to fake (#233).

Signature:

@Throws(XbergError::class)
fun ensureInitialized()

Example:

ensureInitialized()

Returns: No return value.

Errors: Throws XbergError.

Run chunk classification against an extraction result.

Mutates ChunkMetadata.classifications on every chunk in result.chunks and appends every LLM call’s usage to result.llm_usage. A chunk whose classification batch call fails (or that the model omitted from its response) is simply left with an empty classifications vector for that chunk, unless the failure is a validation error (empty config) or every batch task fails, in which case the first error is returned.

Errors:

Returns Validation when config.definitions is empty. Returns the first batch error encountered when rendering the prompt or calling the LLM fails for every batch; partial failures on a subset of batches are recorded here as a ProcessingWarning on result instead of aborting the whole run.

Signature:

@Throws(XbergError::class)
fun classifyChunks(result: ExtractedDocument, config: ChunkClassificationConfig)

Example:

classifyChunks(ExtractedDocument(), ChunkClassificationConfig())

Parameters:

Name Type Required Description
result ExtractedDocument Yes The extracted document
config ChunkClassificationConfig Yes The configuration options

Returns: No return value.

Errors: Throws XbergError.


Find unmarked claims in markdown text.

Returns lines that assert a claim but carry neither a footnote citation anchor ([^...]) nor an inference marker ([*inference*]).

The heuristic is simple: a line that contains alphabetic words, ends with sentence punctuation, and is not a heading, blank line, or markup-only line is considered a claim. Exclude lines that appear in the citation block (after --- + <!-- citations ... -->).

Returns:

A vector of trimmed line text strings for unmarked claims.

Signature:

fun findUnmarkedClaims(markdown: String): List<String>

Example:

val result = findUnmarkedClaims("value")

Parameters:

Name Type Required Description
markdown String Yes The markdown text to search

Returns: List<String>


Verify that an excerpt appears verbatim in source text.

Performs exact matching by default. Also tries whitespace-normalized matching (collapsing runs of whitespace on both sides) since PDF-extracted text often has irregular spacing.

Returns:

true if the excerpt appears (exactly or with normalized whitespace), false otherwise.

Signature:

fun verifyExcerpt(excerpt: String, sourceText: String): Boolean

Example:

val result = verifyExcerpt("value", "value")

Parameters:

Name Type Required Description
excerpt String Yes The text snippet to find
sourceText String Yes The full source text to search

Returns: Boolean


Score a query against a document using ColBERT’s MaxSim operator: for each query token vector, take the maximum dot product against any document token vector, then sum across query tokens.

Returns 0.0 if query and doc have mismatched dimensionality, if either has zero tokens, or if either is not well-formed per MultiVectorEmbedding.is_well_formed (its data length does not match num_tokens * dim).

Pure CPU primitive — available without ONNX Runtime.

Since v5.0.

Signature:

fun maxSimScore(query: MultiVectorEmbedding, doc: MultiVectorEmbedding): Double

Example:

val result = maxSimScore(MultiVectorEmbedding(), MultiVectorEmbedding())

Parameters:

Name Type Required Description
query MultiVectorEmbedding Yes The multi vector embedding
doc MultiVectorEmbedding Yes The multi vector embedding

Returns: Double


Rank a set of documents against a query by MaxSim score, descending.

Mirrors the sort/truncate shape of crate.reranking’s build_results, minus top-k truncation (callers slice the returned Vec themselves).

Pure CPU primitive — available without ONNX Runtime.

Since v5.0.

Signature:

fun maxSimRank(query: MultiVectorEmbedding, docs: List<MultiVectorEmbedding>): List<LateInteractionMatch>

Example:

val result = maxSimRank(MultiVectorEmbedding(), [])

Parameters:

Name Type Required Description
query MultiVectorEmbedding Yes The multi vector embedding
docs List<MultiVectorEmbedding> Yes The docs

Returns: List<LateInteractionMatch>


Probe the backends and settings in config and report what will actually execute on this host.

Runs no downloads and no billable API calls. Backends that are not compiled in or whose models are not cached report Skip rather than failing.

Signature:

fun doctor(config: ExtractionConfig): DoctorReport

Example:

val result = doctor(ExtractionConfig())

Parameters:

Name Type Required Description
config ExtractionConfig Yes The configuration options

Returns: DoctorReport


Install PdfOxideWarningCapture as the process-wide log backend, exactly once.

If another component already installed a log.Log implementation (an application wiring env_logger, for instance), log.set_boxed_logger fails and this is a no-op: we do not fight over ownership of the global logger slot, and we do not touch log.set_max_level unless our install won, so we never silently raise or lower a level someone else configured. In that case pdf_oxide’s glyph-drop records go wherever that other logger sends them instead of into take_pdf_oxide_render_warnings. Opt-in. Nothing calls this automatically, and that is deliberate: xberg is a library, and log has exactly one global backend slot per process. A library that claims it on its own behalf breaks its embedder — a host that later calls env_logger.init() panics, and until this returns, every log record in the process is routed here rather than wherever the host intended. That decision belongs to the application, so it is exposed as a call an application makes knowingly.

Returns true if this call (or an earlier one) installed the capture, and false if some other component already owns the log backend — in which case pdf_oxide’s glyph-drop records go to that logger and take_pdf_oxide_render_warnings stays empty.

Without this call the #1364 warnings are not produced. The glyph drop itself is decided inside pdf_oxide, which reports it only through log.warn!; there is no return-value channel to read instead.

Signature:

fun installPdfRenderDiagnostics(): Boolean

Example:

val result = installPdfRenderDiagnostics()

Returns: Boolean


Drain the glyph-drop ProcessingWarnings accumulated on this thread by render calls since the last call to this function.

Callers that render pages as part of extraction should call this after their render pass and merge the result into InternalDocument.processing_warnings (see the module-level convention in crate.core.diagnostics) so a page with missing glyphs is never returned to the user without a signal. Warnings are already deduped per-thread across all pages rendered before this call.

pub (rather than pub(crate)) so both in-tree render-consumers and the regression test for #1364 can observe capture without depending on any one extractor’s internal state.

As of #340, crate.extractors.pdf.mod drains this unconditionally right after assembling a document’s processing_warnings, so every PDF extraction that renders at least one page picks up any captured glyph-drop warnings for free. ~keep: that drain only ever observes warnings from render calls that happened on the same OS thread before it ran, because PDF_OXIDE_PENDING_WARNINGS is thread-local. OCR page rendering runs inline on the extracting task’s thread, so it is covered. Layout-detection rasterization runs inside tokio.task.spawn_blocking, which always executes on a different OS thread, so this function alone would never see those warnings. As of #353, extractors.pdf.layout_runner.run_layout_for_pdf_pages_async drains this function itself from inside its spawn_blocking closure — the only place that can observe the blocking-pool thread’s thread-local buffer — and threads the drained warnings back through its return value for the caller in extractors.pdf.mod to merge, so layout-path glyph drops are no longer silently lost.

Signature:

fun takePdfOxideRenderWarnings(): List<ProcessingWarning>

Example:

val result = takePdfOxideRenderWarnings()

Returns: List<ProcessingWarning>


Build the four (or three) token Whisper decoder prompt.

The canonical Whisper prompt is [<|startoftranscript|>, <|{lang}|>, <|transcribe|>, <|notimestamps|>]. When timestamps is true, the trailing no_timestamps token is omitted so the model is free to emit <|x.xx|> timestamp tokens in its output instead of being forced to suppress them.

Signature:

fun buildDecoderPromptTokens(startOfTranscript: Int, langId: Int, transcribe: Int, noTimestamps: Int, timestamps: Boolean): List<Long>

Example:

val result = buildDecoderPromptTokens(42, 42, 42, 42, true)

Parameters:

Name Type Required Description
startOfTranscript Int Yes The start of transcript
langId Int Yes The lang id
transcribe Int Yes The transcribe
noTimestamps Int Yes The no timestamps
timestamps Boolean Yes The timestamps

Returns: List<Long>


Convert a raw Whisper timestamp token ID to a millisecond offset from the start of the 30-second chunk it was decoded in.

token_id must be >= timestamp_begin_id; IDs below that are ordinary vocabulary tokens, not timestamps.

Signature:

fun timestampTokenToMs(tokenId: Int, timestampBeginId: Int): Int

Example:

val result = timestampTokenToMs(42, 42)

Parameters:

Name Type Required Description
tokenId Int Yes The token id
timestampBeginId Int Yes The timestamp begin id

Returns: Int

docs List<MultiVectorEmbedding> Yes The docs

Returns: List<LateInteractionMatch>


Score a query against a document using ColBERT’s MaxSim operator: for each query token vector, take the maximum dot product against any document token vector, then sum across query tokens.

Since: v1.1

AWS Bedrock configuration for bedrock/-prefixed models.

Mirrors liter-llm’s BedrockConfig. Every field is optional: anything left unset falls back to the standard AWS environment variables (AWS_DEFAULT_REGION / AWS_REGION, AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID, AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY, AWS_SESSION_TOKEN, BEDROCK_CROSS_REGION) and the default AWS credential chain. Leave the credential fields unset unless you have an explicit reason to pin them.

Debug is implemented by hand so the three credential fields are never printed.

blockUrlPatterns List<String> \[\] URL patterns to block before the network request fires. Supports * wildcards. Useful for skipping ads/analytics/large images. Honored by BrowserBackend.Native; chromiumoxide ignores this field today.
evalScript String? null JavaScript snippet evaluated after navigation completes. Scraping captures the native backend result in ScrapeResult.browser.eval_result. Interactions run this script before page actions on both browser backends but do not include the script result in InteractionResult.
robotsUserAgent String? null User-agent used when fetching robots.txt. Defaults to BrowserConfig.user_agent (or crawlberg’s default) if unset. Native only.
captureNetworkEvents Boolean false Capture the full network event stream into the result. Default false (only the document event is captured). Native only.
sessionAffinity Boolean true Enable session affinity: reuse chromiumoxide Pages for same-domain requests so cookies + fingerprint + solved challenges persist. Default: true. When false, each request gets a fresh Page.

Aggregate statistics for a xberg cache directory.

prompt String? null Optional custom caption prompt. null uses the default RegionKind.Caption prompt that ships with crate.llm.region_extractor.
minImageArea Int serde(default = "default_min_image_area") Skip images whose width * height is below this threshold (in pixels). Default 1_000 filters out icons and decorations.

A single changed cell within a table.

Defined here (rather than only in crate.diff) so RevisionDelta can reference it unconditionally, without requiring the diff Cargo feature. crate.diff re-exports this type verbatim.

Field Type Default Description
row Long Zero-based row index.
col Long Zero-based column index.
from String Value before the change.
to String Value after the change.

A text chunk with optional embedding and metadata.

Chunks are created when chunking is enabled in ExtractionConfig. Each chunk contains the text content, optional embedding vector (if embedding generation is configured), and metadata about its position in the document.

Field Type Default Description
content String The text content of this chunk.
chunkType ChunkType /* serde(default) */ Semantic structural classification of this chunk. Assigned by the heuristic classifier based on content patterns and heading context. Defaults to ChunkType.Unknown when no rule matches.
embedding List<Float>? null Optional embedding vector for this chunk. Only populated when EmbeddingConfig is provided in chunking configuration. The dimensionality depends on the chosen embedding model.
sparseEmbedding SparseEmbedding? /* serde(default) */ Optional sparse (SPLADE) learned embedding for this chunk. Only populated when sparse-embedding generation is configured for chunking. null otherwise, including on builds without the sparse-embeddings feature. Uses the crate-root SparseEmbedding alias rather than crate.sparse_embeddings.SparseEmbedding directly: the sparse_embeddings module itself only compiles under sparse-embeddings/sparse-embedding-presets, while the crate-root alias is always defined (a field-compatible stub on builds without either feature), so this field — and Chunk itself — compiles on every feature combination, including the crate’s default features.
lateInteraction MultiVectorEmbedding? /* serde(default) */ Optional ColBERT-style multi-vector (late-interaction) embedding for this chunk. Only populated when late-interaction embedding generation is configured for chunking. null otherwise, including on builds without the late-interaction feature. Uses the crate-root MultiVectorEmbedding alias for the same reason sparse_embedding uses SparseEmbedding — see that field’s docs.
metadata ChunkMetadata Metadata about this chunk’s position and properties.

Since: v1.0

Configuration for the chunk-classification post-processor.

Chunk classification is always multi-label: a chunk may match zero, one, or many of the configured definitions. This is the chunk-level equivalent of PageClassificationConfig, but scoped to individual chunks (ExtractedDocument.chunks) rather than whole pages, and built for large taxonomies where each label needs its own description rather than a bare name.

Field Type Default Description
promptTemplate String? null Minijinja prompt template. Receives {{ definitions }} (rendered label + description list) and {{ chunks }} (a numbered list of chunk texts in the current batch) variables. null lets the backend pick a sensible default.
definitions List<ChunkClassificationDefinition> The set of label definitions the classifier may emit. Must contain at least one entry.
llm LlmConfig LLM configuration used for classification.
batchSize Long serde(default = "default_batch_size") Number of chunks batched into a single LLM request. Larger batches amortize the fixed prompt cost (definitions block) across more chunks, at the risk of exceeding the model’s context window for very large taxonomies or chunk texts. Defaults to DEFAULT_BATCH_SIZE.
maxConcurrency Long serde(default = "default_max_concurrency") Maximum number of in-flight batch requests. Bounds concurrency against the configured LLM provider. Defaults to DEFAULT_MAX_CONCURRENCY.

Since: v1.0

A single labeled definition the chunk classifier may emit.

Unlike PageClassificationConfig.labels (bare label names), chunk classification targets potentially large domain taxonomies where every label carries its own semantic description, letting the LLM disambiguate similarly named labels without relying on the label string alone.

Field Type Default Description
label String Label name returned in ChunkMetadata.classifications.
description String Semantic description of when this label applies. Injected verbatim into the classification prompt next to the label name.

Chunk-classification enrichment knob: how to multi-label individual chunks.

Operates on ExtractedDocument.chunks in place — the caller must have already produced chunks (e.g. via ExtractionConfig.chunking) for this stage to have any effect; a document with no chunks is a no-op.

Field Type Default Description
config ChunkClassificationConfig Label-definition set and LLM/batching settings for the chunk-classification stage.

Information about a single chunk.

Field Type Default Description
index Int Zero-based chunk index.
pages PageRange Page range for this chunk.
estimatedTimeMs Long Estimated processing time for this chunk in milliseconds.

Metadata about a chunk’s position in the original document.

Field Type Default Description
byteStart Long Byte offset where this chunk starts in the original text (UTF-8 valid boundary).
byteEnd Long Byte offset where this chunk ends in the original text (UTF-8 valid boundary).
tokenCount Long? null Number of tokens in this chunk (if available). This is calculated by the embedding model’s tokenizer if embeddings are enabled.
chunkIndex Long Zero-based index of this chunk in the document.
totalChunks Long Total number of chunks in the document.
firstPage Int? null First page number this chunk spans (1-indexed). Only populated when page tracking is enabled in extraction configuration.
lastPage Int? null Last page number this chunk spans (1-indexed, equal to first_page for single-page chunks). Only populated when page tracking is enabled in extraction configuration.
headingContext HeadingContext? /* serde(default) */ Heading context when using Markdown chunker. Contains the heading hierarchy this chunk falls under. Only populated when ChunkerType.Markdown is used.
headingPath List<String> /* serde(default) */ Flattened heading trail from document root to this chunk’s section. Each element is a heading’s text, outermost first. Derived from heading_context when present; empty otherwise. Provides a binding-friendly, RAG-shaped breadcrumb without requiring callers to walk the nested HeadingContext structure.
imageIndices List<Int> /* serde(default) */ Indices into ExtractedDocument.images for images on pages covered by this chunk. Contains zero-based indices into the top-level images collection for every image whose page_number falls within \[first_page, last_page\]. Empty when image extraction is disabled or the chunk spans no pages with images.
nodeIds List<String> /* serde(default) */ Ids of the DocumentNodes this chunk was derived from. Joins a chunk back to the structured document tree via DocumentNode.id. Empty until the node-to-rendered-offset mapping needed to compute the intersection is implemented (tracked under #1294/#1295); this field is the wire-format foundation for that follow-up.
pageSpans List<PageSpan> /* serde(default) */ Per-page bounding-box spans this chunk covers, for viewer highlighting (#1295). One entry per page the chunk overlaps, in page order — the first and last entries’ page fields equal first_page/last_page. Populated whenever page-boundary provenance is available (the same condition under which first_page/last_page are populated); each entry’s bbox is additionally populated when the document’s structured node tree (ExtractedDocument.document) is available, as the union of that page’s body-layer node bounding boxes found within this chunk. Empty when page-boundary provenance is unavailable (mirrors first_page/ last_page being null).
classifications List<ClassificationLabel> /* serde(default) */ Multi-label classification result for this chunk. Populated by the chunk-classification post-processor when ExtractionConfig.chunk_classification is set. A chunk may match zero, one, or many of the configured label definitions. Empty when chunk classification was not configured.

Chunking configuration.

Configures text chunking for document content, including chunk size, overlap, trimming behavior, and optional embeddings.

Use ..the default constructor when constructing to allow for future field additions:

Field Type Default Description
maxCharacters Long 1000 Maximum size per chunk (in units determined by sizing). When sizing is Characters (default), this is the max character count. When using token-based sizing, this is the max token count. Default: 1000
overlap Long 200 Overlap between chunks (in units determined by sizing). Default: 200
trim Boolean true Whether to trim whitespace from chunk boundaries. Default: true
chunkerType ChunkerType ChunkerType.Text Type of chunker to use (Text or Markdown). Default: Text
embedding EmbeddingConfig? null Optional embedding configuration for chunk embeddings.
sparseEmbedding SparseEmbeddingConfig? null Optional sparse (SPLADE) embedding configuration for chunk embeddings. When set, sparse vectors are generated for each chunk’s content and attached via sparse_embedding. Requires the sparse-embeddings feature; without it, a warning is emitted and no sparse vectors are attached. Config-file only: like RerankerConfig and the local-ONNX branch of embedding, this has no CLI flag and no environment variable. Only the secret/identity fields of LLM-routed configs (model, API key, base URL) get that reach. ~keep
lateInteraction LateInteractionConfig? null Optional late-interaction (ColBERT) embedding configuration for chunk embeddings. When set, multi-vector embeddings are generated for each chunk’s content and attached via late_interaction. Requires the late-interaction feature; without it, a warning is emitted and no late-interaction vectors are attached. Config-file only, for the same reason as sparse_embedding above. ~keep
preset String? null Use a preset configuration (overrides individual settings if provided).
sizing ChunkSizing ChunkSizing.Characters How to measure chunk size. Default: Characters (Unicode character count). Enable chunking-tiktoken or chunking-tokenizers features for token-based sizing.
prependHeadingContext Boolean false Deprecated and inert (#1393): no longer prepends anything into content. Setting this field has no observable effect on chunking output any more. Previously, when true and chunker_type was Markdown, this prepended the heading hierarchy path (e.g. "# Title > ## Section\n\n") directly into each chunk’s content string. content now always equals the exact \[byte_start, byte_end) source span regardless of this flag — see BreadcrumbTarget for the full rationale. heading_context/heading_path on ChunkMetadata are populated independently of this flag, so callers lose no information — only the in-place mutation is gone. Call render_heading_breadcrumb explicitly at index time instead, for the retrieval consumer that wants the breadcrumb inline. Kept only so existing callers keep compiling. Default: false
topicThreshold Float? null Optional cosine similarity threshold for semantic topic boundary detection. Only used when chunker_type is Semantic and an EmbeddingConfig is provided. You almost never need to set this. When omitted, defaults to 0.75 which works well for most documents. Lower values detect more topic boundaries (more, smaller chunks); higher values detect fewer. Range: 0.0..=1.0.
tableChunking TableChunkingMode TableChunkingMode.Split How to handle markdown tables that exceed the chunk size limit. Only applies when chunker_type is Markdown. - Split (default) — tables are split at row boundaries; continuation chunks do not repeat the header. - RepeatHeader — the table header row and separator are prepended to every continuation chunk so each chunk is self-contained. Default: Split
breadcrumbTarget BreadcrumbTarget BreadcrumbTarget.Content Deprecated and inert (#1393): see BreadcrumbTarget for the full explanation. Neither variant has any effect on content any more — call render_heading_breadcrumb explicitly at index time instead. Kept only for backward compatibility. Default: Content.

A single structurally-meaningful code chunk produced by tree-sitter parsing.

Purpose-built payload owned by xberg — deliberately does not expose the upstream tree_sitter_language_pack types, so binding generators never need to resolve an external crate’s types across FFI/language boundaries.

Field Type Default Description
text String The raw source text of this chunk.
contextPath List<String> Hierarchical path of enclosing structural items (e.g. \["MyClass", "my_method"\]).
nodeTypes List<String> Tree-sitter node kinds that appear at the top level of this chunk (e.g. "function_definition", "class_definition").
byteStart Long Inclusive start byte offset of this chunk in the original source.
byteEnd Long Exclusive end byte offset of this chunk in the original source.

An XML-style attribute attached to an Element node.

Populated only for CodeDataNodeKind.Element; always empty for KeyValue and Sequence nodes.

Field Type Default Description
name String Attribute name (e.g. "class", "href").
value String Attribute value as a raw string (quotes stripped).
byteStart Long Inclusive start byte offset of the name="value" attribute token.
byteEnd Long Exclusive end byte offset of the name="value" attribute token.

A node in the hierarchical data tree produced by data-format extraction.

Purpose-built payload owned by xberg — mirrors tree_sitter_language_pack.DataNode but flattens its Span down to plain byte offsets, so binding generators never need to resolve an external crate’s types across FFI/language boundaries.

Field Type Default Description
kind CodeDataNodeKind Whether this node is a key/value pair, XML element, or sequence item.
key String? /* serde(default) */ Key, attribute name, tag name, or positional index ("0", "1", …). null at the document root.
value String? /* serde(default) */ Leaf scalar value, if any. null for containers (objects, arrays, XML elements with child elements).
attributes List<CodeDataAttribute> /* serde(default) */ Attributes on element-shape nodes (XML STag attributes). Empty for all other kinds.
children List<CodeDataNode> /* serde(default) */ Children for nested containers and XML element bodies.
byteStart Long Inclusive start byte offset of this node in the original source.
byteEnd Long Exclusive end byte offset of this node in the original source.

Code-format metadata: the structural chunks produced by tree-sitter parsing.

Wrapped by FormatMetadata.Code. Kept as a named struct (rather than an inline enum-variant body) so serde can tag it under internal tagging and utoipa can emit a referenceable CodeMetadata component in the OpenAPI schema.

Field Type Default Description
chunks List<CodeChunkInfo> \[\] Structural code chunks (function/class/module boundaries).
data CodeDataNode? null Hierarchical key/value data tree extracted from data-format source (JSON, YAML, TOML, XML, CSV, etc.), when data extraction was enabled.

Content extraction and conversion configuration.

Controls how HTML is converted to the output format. Uses html-to-markdown-rs as the conversion engine for all formats (markdown, plain text, djot).

Field Type Default Description
outputFormat String "markdown" Output format: "markdown" (default), "plain", "djot".
preprocessingPreset String "standard" Preprocessing aggressiveness: "minimal", "standard" (default), "aggressive". - Minimal: only scripts/styles removed. - Standard: also removes nav, nav-hinted headers/footers/asides, forms. - Aggressive: removes all footers/asides unconditionally.
removeNavigation Boolean true Remove navigation elements (nav, breadcrumbs, menus). Default: true.
removeForms Boolean true Remove form elements. Default: true.
stripTags List<String> \[\] HTML tag names to strip (render children only, remove the tag wrapper). Default: \["noscript"\].
preserveTags List<String> \[\] HTML tag names to preserve as raw HTML in output.
excludeSelectors List<String> \[\] CSS selectors for elements to exclude entirely (element + all content). Unlike strip_tags (which removes the wrapper but keeps children), excluded elements and all descendants are dropped. Supports CSS selectors: .class, #id, \[attribute\], compound selectors. Example: \[".cookie-banner", "#ad-container", "\[role='complementary'\]"\]
skipImages Boolean false Skip image elements in output. Default: false.
maxDepth Long? null Max DOM traversal depth. Prevents stack overflow on deeply nested HTML.
wrap Boolean false Enable line wrapping. Default: false.
wrapWidth Long 80 Wrap width when wrap is enabled. Default: 80.
includeDocumentStructure Boolean true Include document structure tree in output. Default: true.

Cross-extractor content filtering configuration.

Controls whether “furniture” content (headers, footers, page numbers, watermarks, repeating text) is included in or stripped from extraction results. Applies across all extractors (PDF, DOCX, RTF, ODT, HTML, etc.) with format-specific implementation.

When null on ExtractionConfig, each extractor uses its current default behavior unchanged.

Field Type Default Description
includeHeaders Boolean false Include running headers in extraction output. - PDF: Disables top-margin furniture stripping and prevents the layout model from treating PageHeader-classified regions as furniture. - DOCX: Includes document headers in text output. - RTF/ODT: Headers already included; this is a no-op when true. - HTML/EPUB: Keeps <header> element content. Default: false (headers are stripped or excluded).
includeFooters Boolean false Include running footers in extraction output. - PDF: Disables bottom-margin furniture stripping and prevents the layout model from treating PageFooter-classified regions as furniture. - DOCX: Includes document footers in text output. - RTF/ODT: Footers already included; this is a no-op when true. - HTML/EPUB: Keeps <footer> element content. Default: false (footers are stripped or excluded).
includeFootnotes Boolean false Include footnote bodies in extraction output. - PDF: Prevents the layout model from treating Footnote-classified regions as furniture, so footnote bodies survive alongside the main text instead of being silently dropped. - Other formats: No effect currently. Default: false (footnotes are stripped), matching the existing include_headers / include_footers defaults.
stripRepeatingText Boolean true Enable the heuristic cross-page repeating text detector. When true (default), text that repeats verbatim across a supermajority of pages is classified as furniture and stripped. Disable this if brand names or repeated headings are being incorrectly removed by the heuristic. Note: when a layout-detection model is active, the model may independently classify page-header / page-footer / footnote regions as furniture on a per-page basis. To preserve those regions, set include_headers = true, include_footers = true, include_footnotes = true, or any combination, in addition to disabling this flag. Primarily affects PDF extraction. Default: true.
includeWatermarks Boolean false Include watermark text in extraction output. - PDF: Keeps watermark artifacts and arXiv identifiers. - Other formats: No effect currently. Default: false (watermarks are stripped).

Signature:

Main conversion options for HTML to Markdown conversion.

Use ConversionOptions.builder() to construct, or the default constructor for defaults.

Field Type Default Description
headingStyle HeadingStyle HeadingStyle.Atx Heading style to use in Markdown output (ATX # or Setext underline).
listIndentType ListIndentType ListIndentType.Spaces How to indent nested list items (spaces or tab).
listIndentWidth Long 2 Number of spaces (or tabs) to use for each level of list indentation.
bullets String "-*+" Bullet character(s) to use for unordered list items (e.g. "-", "*").
strongEmSymbol String "*" Character used for bold/italic emphasis markers (* or _).
escapeAsterisks Boolean false Escape * characters in plain text to avoid unintended bold/italic.
escapeUnderscores Boolean false Escape _ characters in plain text to avoid unintended bold/italic.
escapeMisc Boolean false Escape miscellaneous Markdown metacharacters (\[\]()# etc.) in plain text.
escapeAscii Boolean false Escape ASCII characters that have special meaning in certain Markdown dialects.
codeLanguage String "" Default language annotation for fenced code blocks that have no language hint.
autolinks Boolean true Automatically convert bare URLs into Markdown autolinks.
defaultTitle Boolean false Emit a default title when no <title> tag is present.
brInTables Boolean false Render <br> elements inside table cells as literal line breaks.
compactTables Boolean false Emit tables without column padding (compact GFM format). When true, column widths are not computed and cells are emitted with no trailing spaces. Separator rows use exactly --- per column. Produces token-efficient output suitable for RAG / LLM contexts. Default false (aligned padding preserved).
highlightStyle HighlightStyle HighlightStyle.DoubleEqual Style used for <mark> / highlighted text (e.g. ==text==).
extractMetadata Boolean true Populate result.metadata with <head> / <meta> extraction (title, description, Open Graph, Twitter Card, JSON-LD, …). Default true. Disabling skips the metadata pass only — table extraction into result.tables runs unconditionally.
whitespaceMode WhitespaceMode WhitespaceMode.Normalized Controls how whitespace sequences are normalised in the converted output. - WhitespaceMode.Normalized (default) — collapses consecutive whitespace characters (spaces, tabs, newlines) to a single space, matching browser rendering behaviour. - WhitespaceMode.Strict — preserves all whitespace exactly as it appears in the source HTML, including runs of spaces and embedded newlines. Choose Strict only when the source HTML uses deliberate whitespace (e.g. pre-formatted content outside <pre> tags). For most documents Normalized produces cleaner output.
stripNewlines Boolean false Strip all newlines from the output, producing a single-line result.
wrap Boolean false Wrap long lines at wrap_width characters.
wrapWidth Long 80 Maximum output line width in characters when wrap is true (default 80). Lines are broken at word boundaries so that no line exceeds this length. A value of 0 is treated as “no limit” — equivalent to leaving wrap disabled. Has no effect when wrap is false.
convertAsInline Boolean false Treat the entire document as inline content (no block-level wrappers).
subSymbol String "" Markdown notation for subscript text (e.g. "~").
supSymbol String "" Markdown notation for superscript text (e.g. "^").
newlineStyle NewlineStyle NewlineStyle.Spaces How to encode hard line breaks (<br>) in Markdown.
codeBlockStyle CodeBlockStyle CodeBlockStyle.Backticks Style used for fenced code blocks (backticks or tilde).
keepInlineImagesIn List<String> \[\] HTML tag names whose <img> children are kept inline instead of block.
preprocessing PreprocessingOptions Options for the HTML pre-processing pass applied before conversion begins. Pre-processing runs before the HTML is handed to the converter and can perform operations such as unwrapping redundant wrapper elements, removing tracking pixels, and normalising vendor-specific markup. See PreprocessingOptions for the full set of knobs. Defaults to the standard preprocessing options, which enables the standard cleaning passes. Set individual fields on PreprocessingOptions (or construct via ConversionOptions.builder) to opt in or out of specific passes.
encoding String "utf-8" Expected character encoding of the input HTML (default "utf-8").
debug Boolean false Emit debug information during conversion.
stripTags List<String> \[\] HTML tag names whose content is stripped from the output entirely.
preserveTags List<String> \[\] HTML tag names that are preserved verbatim in the output.
skipImages Boolean false Skip conversion of <img> elements (omit images from output).
urlEscapeStyle UrlEscapeStyle UrlEscapeStyle.Angle URL encoding strategy for link and image destinations. Controls how special characters in URL destinations are escaped: - UrlEscapeStyle.Angle (default) — wraps the destination in angle brackets when it contains spaces or newlines. Some parsers misinterpret > inside such a destination. - UrlEscapeStyle.Percent — percent-encodes every character that is not an RFC 3986 unreserved character or /, producing a destination that all Markdown parsers handle correctly even when the URL contains <, >, spaces, or parentheses.
linkStyle LinkStyle LinkStyle.Inline Link rendering style (inline or reference).
maxImageSize Long 5242880 Maximum decoded image size in bytes (default 5MB).
captureSvg Boolean false Capture SVG elements as images.
inferDimensions Boolean true Infer image dimensions from data.
maxDepth Long? null Maximum DOM traversal depth. null uses the library’s internal native-stack safety limit. Explicit values above that safety limit are clamped to prevent process-aborting stack overflows on pathologically deep DOM trees.
excludeSelectors List<String> \[\] CSS selectors for elements to exclude entirely (element + all content). Unlike strip_tags (which removes the tag wrapper but keeps children), excluded elements and all their descendants are dropped from the output. Supports any CSS selector that tl supports: tag names, .class, #id, \[attribute\], etc. Invalid selectors are silently skipped at conversion time. Example: \[".cookie-banner", "#ad-container", "\[role='complementary'\]"\]

maxPages Long? null Maximum number of pages to crawl.
maxConcurrent Long? null Maximum number of concurrent requests.
respectRobotsTxt Boolean false Whether to respect robots.txt directives.
softHttpErrors Boolean false When true, HTTP-level error responses (404 NotFound, 403 Forbidden, WAF blocks) are surfaced as ScrapeResult records with the matching status_code rather than raised as CrawlError. Default false preserves the historical throw-on-error contract for direct fetches. Independently of this flag, 404s reached at the end of a redirect chain are always surfaced softly — the user opted into redirect-following, so receiving a 404 there is part of the normal flow rather than an unexpected error.
userAgent String? null Custom user-agent string.
stayOnDomain Boolean false Whether to restrict crawling to the same domain.
allowSubdomains Boolean false Whether to allow subdomains when stay_on_domain is true.
includePaths List<String> \[\] Regex patterns for paths to include during crawling.

maxRedirects Long 10 Maximum number of redirects to follow.
retryCount Long 0 Number of retry attempts for failed requests.
retryCodes List<Short> \[\] HTTP status codes that should trigger a retry.
cookiesEnabled Boolean false Whether to enable cookie handling.

assetTypes List<AssetCategory> \[\] Filter for asset categories to download.
maxAssetSize Long? null Maximum size in bytes for individual asset downloads.
browser BrowserConfig Browser configuration.
proxy ProxyConfig? null Proxy configuration for HTTP requests.
userAgents List<String> \[\] List of user-agent strings for rotation. If non-empty, overrides user_agent.
captureScreenshot Boolean false Whether to capture a screenshot when using the browser.
followDocumentUrls Boolean false Re-enqueue discovered LinkType.Document URLs into the crawl frontier so the crawl follows links from document pages (PDFs, etc.) as it would from HTML pages. Default: false (documents terminate at materialisation).
documentUrlDepth Int? null Maximum document-depth (from the seed URL through document links only) when follow_document_urls is true. null means inherit max_depth. Independent of max_depth: a document URL is enqueued only if BOTH the outer max_depth and (if set) document_url_depth permit it.
downloadDocuments Boolean true Whether to download non-HTML documents (PDF, DOCX, images, code, etc.) instead of skipping them.
documentMaxSize Long? 52428800 Maximum size in bytes for document downloads. Defaults to 50 MB.
documentMimeTypes List<String> \[\] Allowlist of MIME types to download. If empty, uses built-in defaults.
warcOutput Path? null Path to write WARC output. If null, WARC output is disabled.
browserProfile String? null Named browser profile for persistent sessions (cookies, localStorage).
saveBrowserProfile Boolean false Whether to save changes back to the browser profile on exit.
ssrf SsrfPolicy SSRF policy for outbound network requests. Default: deny private networks, allow http/https only, max 5 redirects. Phase 1: deny_private and max_redirects are exposed to all language bindings. allowlist is skipped (see SsrfPolicy fields) and will be added in a follow-up when HostMatcher’s tagged-enum FFI form is decided.

Since: v1.1

Configuration for CSV/TSV extraction.

When unset (ExtractionConfig.csv == None), the extractor keeps its existing default behavior: the delimiter is auto-detected by sampling the file (comma, tab, pipe, or semicolon), and no line is treated as a comment.

Field Type Default Description
delimiter String? null Field delimiter, as a single-character string (e.g. ",", ";", "\t", "|"). When null (default), the delimiter is auto-detected from a sample of the file. Must be exactly one ASCII byte when set — ExtractionConfig.validate rejects an empty string or a multi-byte value with a helpful error. The TSV MIME type (text/tab-separated-values) always forces \t regardless of this setting.
commentPrefixes List<String> \[\] Line prefixes that mark a comment line to skip entirely during row parsing (e.g. \["#"\]). A line is treated as a comment when its trimmed start matches any of these prefixes exactly. Default: empty, meaning no line is treated as a comment (matches the pre-existing extractor behavior).

CSV/TSV file metadata.

Field Type Default Description
rowCount Int Total number of data rows (excluding the header row if present).
columnCount Int Number of columns detected.
delimiter String? null Field delimiter character (e.g. "," or "\t").
hasHeader Boolean Whether the first row was treated as a header.
columnTypes List<String>? \[\] Inferred data type for each column (e.g. "string", "integer", "float").

dBASE field information.

Field Type Default Description
name String Field (column) name.
fieldType String dBASE field type character (e.g. "C" for character, "N" for numeric).

dBASE (DBF) file metadata.

Field Type Default Description
recordCount Long Total number of data records in the DBF file.
fieldCount Long Number of field (column) definitions.
fields List<DbfFieldInfo> \[\] Descriptor for each field in the table schema.

MIME type detection response.

Field Type Default Description
mimeType String Detected MIME type
filename String? null Original filename (if provided)

Page-level detection result containing all detections and page metadata.

Field Type Default Description
pageWidth Int Page width in pixels (as seen by the model).
pageHeight Int Page height in pixels (as seen by the model).
detections List<LayoutDetection> All layout detections on this page after postprocessing.

A single contiguous hunk in a unified diff.

Field Type Default Description
fromLine Long Starting line number in the old content (0-indexed).
fromCount Long Number of lines from the old content in this hunk.
toLine Long Starting line number in the new content (0-indexed).
toCount Long Number of lines from the new content in this hunk.

Options controlling how two ExtractedDocument values are compared.

Field Type Default Description
includeMetadata Boolean true Include metadata changes in the diff. Default: true.
includeEmbedded Boolean true Include embedded-children changes in the diff. Default: true.
maxContentChars Long? null Truncate content to this many characters before diffing. Useful for very large documents where only the first N characters matter. null means no truncation.

Signature:

@JvmStatic
fun default(): DiffOptions

Example:

val result = DiffOptions.default()

Returns: DiffOptions

Whether no check failed. Warnings and skips do not count as failures, so the report stays usable as a scripting/CI gate.

Signature:

fun isOk(): Boolean

Example:

val result = instance.isOk()

Returns: Boolean


Detected document boundary within a PDF.

Field Type Default Description
startPage Int 1-indexed start page (inclusive).

confidence Float Confidence in this boundary, \[0.0, 1.0\].
reason BoundaryReason Reason for the boundary detection.

Cheap structural counts for an extracted document.

Populated on every ExtractedDocument returned by extract / extract_batch, regardless of whether the heavy pages / images collections are materialized. A caller that only needs “how many pages / tables / images did this document have?” (reporting, cost estimation, progress, quotas) can read these without enabling per-page or per-image extraction.

The page count comes from the parse (the extractor already walks the page tree); it does not require opting into per-page content. pages is 0 for inputs that are not page-addressable (e.g. plain text).

Field Type Default Description
pages Long Total pages in the source document (0 when not page-addressable).
tables Long Tables detected in the document.
images Long Images detected in the document.

Trait for document extractor plugins.

Implement this trait to add support for new document formats or override built-in extraction behavior. Foreign-language bindings expose the DocumentExtractor.extract method, which accepts ExtractInput and returns an ExtractedDocument.

When multiple extractors support the same MIME type, the registry selects the extractor with the highest priority value. Use this to:

  • Override built-in extractors (priority > 50)
  • Provide fallback extractors (priority < 50)
  • Implement specialized extractors for specific use cases

Default priority is 50.

Extractors must be thread-safe (Send + Sync) to support concurrent extraction.

Binding-safe extraction entry point for foreign-language plugin bridges.

Accepts the same unified input shape as the public extraction API and returns one extracted document result.

Signature:

@Throws(XbergError::class)
fun extract(input: ExtractInput, config: ExtractionConfig): ExtractedDocument

Example:

val result = instance.extract(ExtractInput(), ExtractionConfig())

Parameters:

Name Type Required Description
input ExtractInput Yes The input data
config ExtractionConfig Yes The configuration options

Returns: ExtractedDocument

Errors: Throws XbergError.

Get the list of MIME types supported by this extractor.

Can include exact MIME types and prefix patterns:

  • Exact: "application/pdf", "text/plain"
  • Prefix: "image/*" (matches any image type)

Returns:

A slice of MIME type strings.

Signature:

fun supportedMimeTypes(): List<String>

Example:

val result = instance.supportedMimeTypes()

Returns: List<String>

Get the priority of this extractor.

Higher priority extractors are preferred when multiple extractors support the same MIME type.

  • 0-25: Fallback/low-quality extractors
  • 26-49: Alternative extractors
  • 50: Default priority (built-in extractors)
  • 51-75: Premium/enhanced extractors
  • 76-100: Specialized/high-priority extractors

Returns:

Priority value (default: 50)

Signature:

fun priority(): Int

Example:

val result = instance.priority()

Returns: Int

Optional: Check if this extractor can handle a specific file.

Returns:

true if the extractor can handle this file, false otherwise.

Signature:

fun canHandle(path: Path, mimeType: String): Boolean

Example:

val result = instance.canHandle("value", "value")

Parameters:

Name Type Required Description
path Path Yes The path
mimeType String Yes The mime type

Returns: Boolean


Metadata about a document for analysis.

Field Type Default Description
mimeType String MIME type of the document.
sizeBytes Long File size in bytes.
pageCount Int? null Page count (if known, e.g., from previous analysis).
forceOcr Boolean Whether OCR is forced regardless of text layer.
userChunkConfig UserChunkConfig? null User-provided chunk configuration overrides.
chunkingEnabled Boolean Whether chunking is enabled for this job.

A single node in the document tree.

Each node has deterministic id, typed content, optional parent/children for tree structure, and metadata like page number, bounding box, and content layer.

Field Type Default Description
id String /* serde(default) */ Deterministic identifier (hash of node type + text + page + position). Stable and unique within a single extraction response: every internal construction path threads the node’s position (its index in DocumentStructure.nodes) into the hash, so identical (node_type, text, page) tuples at different positions never collide. Always serialised — ChunkMetadata.node_ids references it to join chunks back to the nodes they were derived from. #\[serde(default)\] covers the missing-field case on inbound JSON (e.g. documents serialised before this field existed).
content NodeContent Node content — tagged enum, type-specific data only.
parent Int? null Parent node index (null = root-level node).
children List<Int> /* serde(default) */ Child node indices in reading order.
contentLayer ContentLayer /* serde(default) */ Content layer classification. Always serialised — Kotlin-Android (and any other typed binding) treats the field as non-nullable, so omitting it from the JSON wire would break consumer deserialisation. #\[serde(default)\] covers the missing-field case on inbound JSON.
page Int? null Page number where this node starts (1-indexed).
pageEnd Int? null Page number where this node ends (for multi-page tables/sections).
bbox BoundingBox? null Bounding box in document coordinates.
annotations List<TextAnnotation> /* serde(default) */ Inline annotations (formatting, links) on this node’s text content. Only meaningful for text-carrying nodes; empty for containers.
attributes Map<String, String>? null Format-specific key-value attributes. Extensible bag for miscellaneous data without a dedicated typed field: CSS classes, LaTeX environment names, Excel cell formulas, slide layout names, etc.

A resolved relationship between two nodes in the document tree.

Field Type Default Description
source Int Source node index (the referencing node).
target Int Target node index (the referenced node).
kind RelationshipKind Semantic kind of the relationship.

A single tracked change embedded in a document.

Populated by per-format extractors that understand change-tracking metadata (DOCX w:ins/w:del/w:rPrChange, ODT text:change-*, …). Every extractor defaults to ExtractedDocument.revisions = None until a format-specific implementation is added.

Field Type Default Description
revisionId String Format-specific revision identifier. For DOCX this is the w:id attribute value on the change element (e.g. "42"). When the attribute is absent a synthetic fallback is generated ("docx-ins-0", "docx-del-3", …).
author String? null Display name of the author who made this change, when available.
timestamp String? null ISO-8601 timestamp of the change, when available. Stored as a plain string so this type remains FFI-friendly and unconditionally available without the chrono optional dep. DOCX populates this from the w:date attribute (e.g. "2024-03-15T10:30:00Z").
kind RevisionKind Semantic kind of this revision.
anchor RevisionAnchor? null Best-effort document location for this revision. Resolution is format-dependent and may be null when the location cannot be determined (e.g. changes inside table cells before table-cell anchor support is added).
delta RevisionDelta The content changes that make up this revision.

Top-level structured document representation.

A flat array of nodes with index-based parent/child references forming a tree. Root-level nodes have parent: None. Use body_roots() and furniture_roots() to iterate over top-level content by layer.

Call validate() after construction to verify all node indices are in bounds and parent-child relationships are bidirectionally consistent.

Field Type Default Description
nodes List<DocumentNode> \[\] All nodes in document/reading order.
sourceFormat String? null Origin format identifier (e.g. “docx”, “pptx”, “html”, “pdf”). Allows renderers to apply format-aware heuristics when converting the document tree to output formats.
relationships List<DocumentRelationship> \[\] Resolved relationships between nodes (footnote refs, citations, anchor links, etc.). Populated during derivation from the internal document representation. Empty when no relationships are detected.
nodeTypes List<String> \[\] Sorted, deduplicated list of node type names present in this document. Each value is the snake_case node_type tag of the corresponding NodeContent variant (e.g. "paragraph", "heading", "table", …). Computed from nodes via DocumentStructure.finalize_node_types. Empty until that method is called (internal construction paths call it at the end of derivation).

Compute and populate the node_types field from the current nodes.

Call this after all nodes have been added to the structure. Internal construction paths (builder, derivation) call this automatically.

Signature:

fun finalizeNodeTypes()

Example:

instance.finalizeNodeTypes()

Returns: No return value.

Check if the document structure is empty.

Signature:

fun isEmpty(): Boolean

Example:

val result = instance.isEmpty()

Returns: Boolean

Signature:

@JvmStatic
fun default(): DocumentStructure

Example:

val result = DocumentStructure.default()

Returns: DocumentStructure

Configuration for email extraction.

Field Type Default Description
msgFallbackCodepage Int? null Windows codepage number to use when an MSG file contains no codepage property. Defaults to null, which falls back to windows-1252. If an unrecognized or invalid codepage number is supplied (including 0), the behavior silently falls back to windows-1252 — the same as when the MSG file itself contains an unrecognized codepage. No error or warning is emitted. Users should verify output when supplying unusual values. Common values: - 1250: Central European (Polish, Czech, Hungarian, etc.) - 1251: Cyrillic (Russian, Ukrainian, Bulgarian, etc.) - 1252: Western European (default) - 1253: Greek - 1254: Turkish - 1255: Hebrew - 1256: Arabic - 932: Japanese (Shift-JIS) - 936: Simplified Chinese (GBK)

Trait for in-process embedding backend plugins.

Async to match the convention used by other plugin hooks such as OcrBackend and PostProcessor. Host-language bridges (PyO3, napi-rs, Rustler, extendr, magnus, ext-php-rs, C FFI, etc.) wrap their synchronous host callables in spawn_blocking or the equivalent to satisfy the async signature.

Backends must be Send + Sync + 'static. They are stored in Arc<dyn EmbeddingBackend> and called concurrently from xberg’s chunking pipeline. If the backend’s underlying model isn’t thread-safe, the backend itself must serialize access internally (e.g. via Mutex<Inner>).

  • embed(texts) MUST return exactly texts.len() vectors, each of length self.dimensions(). The dispatcher in crate.embeddings.embed_texts validates this before returning to downstream consumers; a non-conforming backend surfaces as a XbergError.Validation, not a panic.

  • embed may be called from any thread. Its future must be Send (enforced by async_trait when #[async_trait] is used on non-WASM targets).

  • dimensions() is called exactly once at registration, immediately after initialize() succeeds. The returned value is cached by the registry and used for all subsequent shape validation. Lazy-loading implementations can defer model loading into initialize() and report the real dimension afterwards. Later mutations of the backend’s reported dimension are not observed by xberg — implementations that need to change dimension must unregister and re-register.

  • shutdown() (inherited from Plugin) may be invoked concurrently with an in-flight embed() call. Implementations must tolerate this — e.g. by letting in-flight calls finish using resources held via the Arc<dyn EmbeddingBackend> reference, and only releasing shared state that isn’t needed by embed.

The synchronous embed_texts entry uses tokio.task.block_in_place to await the trait’s async embed, which requires a multi-thread tokio runtime. Callers running inside a current_thread runtime (e.g. #[tokio.test] without flavor = "multi_thread", or tokio.runtime.Builder.new_current_thread()) must use embed_texts_async instead, which awaits directly without block_in_place.

Embedding vector dimension. Must be > 0 and must match the length of every vector returned by embed.

Signature:

fun dimensions(): Long

Example:

val result = instance.dimensions()

Returns: Long

Embed a batch of texts, returning one vector per input in order.

Errors:

Implementations should return Plugin for backend-specific failures. The dispatcher layers its own validation (length, per-vector dimension) on top.

Signature:

@Throws(XbergError::class)
fun embed(texts: List<String>): List<List<Float>>

Example:

val result = instance.embed([])

Parameters:

Name Type Required Description
texts List<String> Yes The texts

Returns: List<List<Float>>

Errors: Throws XbergError.


Embedding configuration for text chunks.

Configures embedding generation using ONNX models via the vendored embedding engine. Requires the embeddings feature to be enabled.

Field Type Default Description
model EmbeddingModelType EmbeddingModelType.Preset The embedding model to use (defaults to “gte-modernbert-base” preset if not specified)
normalize Boolean true Whether to normalize embedding vectors (recommended for cosine similarity)
batchSize Long 32 Batch size for embedding generation
showDownloadProgress Boolean false Show model download progress. When enabled, transfer progress for the model, tokenizer and config files is reported at info level on the xberg.model_download target while they download (#279). Covers both local backends (ONNX and static/model2vec). A warm Hugging Face cache transfers nothing and so reports nothing. Ignored by EmbeddingModelType.Llm and EmbeddingModelType.Plugin, which download no model.
cacheDir Path? null Optional alternate Hugging Face cache root for model files. When unset, hf-hub follows HF_HUB_CACHE, HUGGINGFACE_HUB_CACHE, HF_HOME, XDG, and platform defaults. Prefer those environment variables when configuring the cache process-wide.
acceleration AccelerationConfig? null Hardware acceleration for the embedding ONNX model. When set, controls which execution provider (CPU, CUDA, CoreML, TensorRT) is used for inference. Defaults to null (auto-select per platform).
maxEmbedDurationSecs Long? 60 Maximum wall-clock duration (in seconds) for a single embed() call when using EmbeddingModelType.Plugin. Applies only to the in-process plugin path — protects against hung host-language backends (e.g. a Python callback deadlocked on the GIL, a model stuck on CUDA OOM retries, etc.). On timeout, the dispatcher returns Plugin instead of blocking forever. null disables the timeout. The default (60 seconds) is conservative for common in-process inference; increase for large batches on slow hardware.
maxSequenceLength Long? null Maximum number of tokens fed to the tokenizer before truncation when embedding a chunk with a local ONNX model (Preset/Custom). A chunk longer than this many tokens has its tail dropped before inference, so only the prefix contributes to the stored vector. null falls back to 512 (the historical default). The effective value is always capped at the model’s own model_max_length, so raising it past what the model supports has no effect — set it to match a long-context model (e.g. 8192 for Jina/Nomic) so long chunks embed in full. Ignored by the Llm and Plugin model types, which own their own tokenization.

Signature:

@JvmStatic
fun default(): EmbeddingConfig

Example:

val result = EmbeddingConfig.default()

Returns: EmbeddingConfig

revisions List<DocumentRevision>? \[\] Tracked changes embedded in the source document. Populated by per-format extractors that understand change-tracking metadata (DOCX w:ins/w:del/w:rPrChange, ODT text:change-*, …). Every extractor defaults to null until its format-specific implementation is added. Extractors that do populate this field follow the “accepted-changes” convention: inserted text is present in content, deleted text is absent — the revision list is the separate audit trail.
structuredOutput Any? null Structured extraction output from LLM-based JSON schema extraction. When structured_extraction is configured in ExtractionConfig, the extracted document content is sent to a VLM with the provided JSON schema. The response is parsed and stored here as a JSON value matching the schema.

Contains metrics, structural analysis, imports/exports, comments, docstrings, symbols, diagnostics, and optionally chunked code segments. Stored as an opaque JSON value so that all language bindings (Go, Java, C#, …) can deserialize it as a raw JSON object rather than a typed struct. The underlying type is tree_sitter_language_pack.ProcessResult.
llmUsage List<LlmUsage>? \[\] LLM token usage and cost data for all LLM calls made during this extraction. Contains one entry per LLM call. Multiple entries are produced when VLM OCR, structured extraction, or LLM embeddings run during the same extraction. null when no LLM was used.

pageClassifications List<PageClassification>? \[\] Per-page classifications produced by the page-classification post-processor. null when classification is not configured.
redactionReport RedactionReport? null Audit report of redactions applied by the redaction post-processor. The redaction processor rewrites content, formatted_content, every chunk’s text, and the textual fields of entities / summary / translation / page_classifications in place. This report describes what was found and how it was replaced. null when redaction is not configured.
formulas List<Formula> \[\] Mathematical formulas recognized in the document. Populated by the layout-guided formula pipeline when the layout-detection feature is enabled and the document contains regions classified as formulas. Empty otherwise.

Main extraction configuration.

This struct contains all configuration options for the extraction process. It can be loaded from TOML, YAML, or JSON files, or created programmatically.

Field Type Default Description
useCache Boolean true Enable caching of extraction results
enableQualityProcessing Boolean true Enable quality post-processing
ocr OcrConfig? null OCR configuration. null does not run OCR for documents that already have usable text. Under OcrStrategy.Auto, a PDF with no text layer at all (a scan) is still routed to OCR with default settings so it is not returned empty (#1338). Set Self.disable_ocr to hard-disable OCR regardless of the detected content.
forceOcr Boolean false Force OCR even for searchable PDFs
ocrStrategy OcrStrategy OcrStrategy.Auto Which pages get OCR’d when neither force_ocr nor force_ocr_pages applies. Defaults to OcrStrategy.Auto, which OCRs only pages whose native text fails a quality check. Only applies to PDF documents. Cannot be OcrStrategy.ScannedPages while disable_ocr is true.
forceOcrPages List<Int>? null Force OCR on specific pages only (1-indexed page numbers, must be >= 1). When set, only the listed pages are OCR’d regardless of text layer quality. Unlisted pages use native text extraction. Ignored when force_ocr is true. Only applies to PDF documents. Duplicates are automatically deduplicated. An ocr config is recommended for backend/language selection; defaults are used if absent.
disableOcr Boolean false Disable OCR entirely, even for images. When true, OCR is skipped for all document types. Images return metadata only (dimensions, format, EXIF) without text extraction. PDFs use only native text extraction without OCR fallback. Cannot be true simultaneously with force_ocr.
chunking ChunkingConfig? null Text chunking configuration (None = chunking disabled)
contentFilter ContentFilterConfig? null Content filtering configuration (None = use extractor defaults). Controls whether document “furniture” (headers, footers, watermarks, repeating text) is included in or stripped from extraction results. See ContentFilterConfig for per-field documentation.
images ImageExtractionConfig? null Image extraction configuration (None = no image extraction)
pdfOptions PdfConfig? null PDF-specific options (None = use defaults)
tokenReduction TokenReductionOptions? null Token reduction configuration (None = no token reduction)
languageDetection LanguageDetectionConfig? null Language detection configuration (None = no language detection)
pages PageConfig? null Page extraction configuration (None = no page tracking)
keywords KeywordConfig? null Keyword extraction configuration (None = no keyword extraction)
postprocessor PostProcessorConfig? null Post-processor configuration (None = use defaults)
htmlOptions ConversionOptions? null HTML to Markdown conversion options (None = use defaults) Configure how HTML documents are converted to Markdown, including heading styles, list formatting, code block styles, and preprocessing options.
htmlOutput HtmlOutputConfig? null Styled HTML output configuration. When set alongside output_format = OutputFormat.Html, the extraction pipeline uses StyledHtmlRenderer which emits stable kb-* CSS class hooks on every structural element and optionally embeds theme CSS or user-supplied CSS in a <style> block. When null, the existing plain comrak-based HTML renderer is used.
extractionTimeoutSecs Long? null Default per-file timeout in seconds for batch extraction. When set, each file in a batch will be canceled after this duration unless overridden by FileExtractionConfig.timeout_secs. Defaults to Some(600) (10 minutes) to prevent pathological files (e.g. deeply nested archives, documents with millions of cells) from running indefinitely and exhausting caller resources, while still giving slow paths (VLM-based OCR, large scanned documents) enough headroom to finish. Set to null to disable the timeout for trusted input or long-running workloads.
maxConcurrentExtractions Long? null Maximum concurrent document extractions in batch operations. This is a ceiling within the configured total thread budget, not an independent pool size. When unset, the scheduler derives document and per-document concurrency from ConcurrencyConfig.max_threads.
resultFormat ResultFormat ResultFormat.Unified Result structure format Controls whether results are returned in unified format (default) with all content in the content field, or element-based format with semantic elements (for Unstructured-compatible output).
securityLimits SecurityLimits? null Security limits for archive extraction. Controls maximum archive size, compression ratio, file count, and other security thresholds to prevent decompression bomb attacks. Also caps nesting depth, iteration count, entity / token length, total content size, and table cell count for every extraction path that ingests user-controlled bytes. When null, default limits are used.
maxEmbeddedFileBytes Long? null Maximum uncompressed size in bytes for a single embedded file before recursive extraction is attempted (default: 50 MiB). Applies to embedded objects inside OOXML containers (DOCX, PPTX) and to email attachments processed via recursive extraction. Files that exceed this limit are skipped with a ProcessingWarning rather than passed to the extraction pipeline, preventing a single oversized embedded object from consuming unbounded memory or time. Set to null to disable the per-embedded-file cap (falls back to security_limits.max_archive_size as the only guard).
outputFormat OutputFormat OutputFormat.Plain Content text format (default: Plain). Controls the format of the extracted content: - Plain: Raw extracted text (default) - Markdown: Markdown formatted output - Djot: Djot markup format (requires djot feature) - Html: HTML formatted output When set to a structured format, extraction results will include formatted output. The formatted_content field may be populated when format conversion is applied.
escapeMarkdown Boolean true Escape Markdown special characters in rendered prose (default: true). When output_format is Markdown or Djot, the renderer backslash-escapes CommonMark-significant leading characters (e.g. -, #) so that literal text such as #06-18 or - clause round-trips safely through a CommonMark parser instead of being reinterpreted as a heading or list marker. Table cell text is never escaped, so escaped prose can look inconsistent with table cells containing the same characters. Set this to false to disable prose escaping and make content, pages\[\].content, and chunks\[\].content read identically to table cell text — useful for LLM prompts or search indexing where CommonMark round-tripping does not matter. Defaults to true to preserve existing behavior.
tableAnchors Boolean false Emit an opt-in anchor marker before each table’s rendered Markdown block (default: false). When output_format is Markdown (or Djot) and this is true, the renderer inserts a \[TABLE:{table_id}\] marker immediately before each table’s Markdown in content, pages\[\].content, and chunks\[\].content, where table_id matches the corresponding entry’s table_id. This lets a consumer reconcile a rendered Markdown table block with its structured tables\[\] entry. Defaults to false so existing output is byte-identical unless explicitly enabled.
jupyterCellRendering JupyterCellRendering JupyterCellRendering.Both Controls how Jupyter notebook (.ipynb) code cells are rendered. - Both (default): code source plus the notebook’s saved outputs - Source: only the code source (fenced code blocks) - Outputs: only the saved outputs Cells are never executed; Outputs/Both surface only outputs already stored in the notebook.
layout LayoutDetectionConfig? null Layout detection configuration (None = layout detection disabled). When set, PDF pages and images are analyzed for document structure (headings, code, formulas, tables, figures, etc.) using RT-DETR models via ONNX Runtime. For PDFs, layout hints override paragraph classification in the markdown pipeline. For images, per-region OCR is performed with markdown formatting based on detected layout classes. Requires the layout-detection feature to run inference; the field is present whenever the layout-types feature is active (which includes layout-detection as well as the no-ORT target groups).
transcription TranscriptionConfig? null Transcription (speech-to-text) configuration for audio/video files. When set and enabled, files with audio/video MIME types (mp3, mp4, m4a, wav, webm, etc.) are routed to the Whisper-based transcription pipeline. The actual heavy dependencies are only active under the transcription feature; the field is visible under transcription-types (including on WASM and Android targets that use the no-ORT preset). Default: null (transcription disabled). This is an additive, non-breaking change.
useLayoutForMarkdown Boolean false Run layout detection on the non-OCR PDF markdown path. When true and layout is Some(_), layout regions inform reading order, region grouping, and table detection while native font/tag semantics remain authoritative for headings, lists, code, and formulas. OCR layout classification is unchanged. This improves structural output at the cost of inference latency (~150-300ms/page CPU, ~20-50ms/page GPU). Default: false. Requires the layout-detection feature.
includeDocumentStructure Boolean false Enable structured document tree output. When true, populates the document field on ExtractedDocument with a hierarchical DocumentStructure containing heading-driven section nesting, table grids, content layer classification, and inline annotations. Independent of result_format — can be combined with Unified or ElementBased.
acceleration AccelerationConfig? null Hardware acceleration configuration for ONNX Runtime models. Controls execution provider selection for layout detection and embedding models. When null, uses platform defaults (CoreML on macOS, CUDA on Linux, CPU on Windows).
cacheNamespace String? null Cache namespace for tenant isolation. When set, cache entries are stored under {cache_dir}/{namespace}/. Must be alphanumeric, hyphens, or underscores only (max 64 chars). Different namespaces have isolated cache spaces on the same filesystem.
cacheTtlSecs Long? null Per-request cache TTL in seconds. Overrides the global max_age_days for this specific extraction. When 0, caching is completely skipped (no read or write). When null, the global TTL applies.
email EmailConfig? null Email extraction configuration (None = use defaults). Currently supports configuring the fallback codepage for MSG files that do not specify one. See EmailConfig for details.
csv CsvConfig? null CSV/TSV extraction configuration (None = use defaults). Lets callers set an explicit delimiter and declare comment-line prefixes to skip, instead of relying solely on delimiter auto-detection. See CsvConfig for details.
url UrlExtractionConfig URL ingestion and crawl configuration.
maxArchiveDepth Long Maximum recursion depth for archive extraction (default: 3). Set to 0 to disable recursive extraction (legacy behavior).
treeSitter TreeSitterConfig? null Tree-sitter language pack configuration (None = tree-sitter disabled). When set, enables code file extraction using tree-sitter parsers. Controls grammar download behavior and code analysis options.
structuredExtraction StructuredExtractionConfig? null Structured extraction via LLM (None = disabled). When set, the extracted document content is sent to an LLM with the provided JSON schema. The structured response is stored in ExtractedDocument.structured_output.
ner NerConfig? null Named-entity recognition configuration. When set, the NER post-processor runs at the Middle stage and populates ExtractedDocument.entities.
redaction RedactionConfig? null Redaction / anonymisation configuration. When set, the redaction post-processor runs at the Late stage and rewrites every textual field in ExtractedDocument, emitting an audit trail in ExtractedDocument.redaction_report.
summarization SummarizationConfig? null Summarisation configuration. When set, the summarisation post-processor runs at the Middle stage and populates ExtractedDocument.summary.
translation TranslationConfig? null Translation configuration. When set, the translation post-processor runs at the Middle stage and populates ExtractedDocument.translation.
pageClassification PageClassificationConfig? null Per-page classification configuration. When set, the classification post-processor runs at the Middle stage and populates ExtractedDocument.page_classifications.
chunkClassification ChunkClassificationConfig? null Per-chunk multi-label classification configuration. When set, the chunk-classification post-processor runs at the Middle stage (after chunking) and populates ChunkMetadata.classifications on every chunk.
captioning CaptioningConfig? null VLM captioning configuration for extracted images. When set, the captioning post-processor runs at the Middle stage and writes a caption into each ExtractedImage.caption.
qrCodes Boolean? null Enable QR-code detection in extracted images. When true, the QR post-processor runs at the Middle stage and populates ExtractedImage.qr_codes.

Signature:

@JvmStatic
fun default(): ExtractionConfig

Example:

val result = ExtractionConfig.default()

Returns: ExtractionConfig

Validate the configuration, returning an error if any settings are invalid.

Checks:

  • ocr: backend name, VLM backend/model requirements, language codes, and the vlm_fallback quality threshold (see OcrConfig.validate).

  • chunking: max_characters is non-zero and overlap is smaller than it.

  • token_reduction: mode is one of the recognized reduction levels.

  • images: target_dpi, min_dpi, and max_dpi are all positive and within the supported range.

  • language_detection: min_confidence is a [0.0, 1.0] value.

  • csv: delimiter, when set, is exactly one ASCII character.

Called automatically when a config is loaded from a file (ExtractionConfig.from_file and friends) or built from a JSON override (crate.core.config.merge.merge_config_json). A config assembled directly through the typed Rust API or an FFI builder is not automatically validated — call this method explicitly before use in that case.

Errors:

Returns XbergError.Validation describing the first invalid setting found.

Signature:

@Throws(XbergError::class)
fun validate()

Example:

instance.validate()

Returns: No return value.

Errors: Throws XbergError.

Check if image processing is needed by examining OCR and image extraction settings.

Returns true if either OCR is enabled or image extraction is configured, indicating that image decompression and processing should occur. Returns false if both are disabled, allowing optimization to skip unnecessary image decompression for text-only extraction workflows.

For text-only extractions (no OCR, no image extraction), skipping image decompression can improve CPU utilization by 5-10% by avoiding wasteful image I/O and processing when results won’t be used. Returns true when image binary data should be extracted.

True when config.images.extract_images is set, captioning is configured, or QR-code detection is enabled. Captioning and QR-code detection both require image bytes regardless of whether the caller also requested image extraction.

Signature:

fun needsImageData(): Boolean

Example:

val result = instance.needsImageData()

Returns: Boolean

Returns true when any image processing is needed during extraction.

For text-only extractions (no OCR, no image extraction, no captioning), skipping image decompression can improve CPU utilization by 5-10% by avoiding wasteful image I/O and processing when results won’t be used.

Signature:

fun needsImageProcessing(): Boolean

Example:

val result = instance.needsImageProcessing()

Returns: Boolean


The complete diff between two ExtractedDocument values.

Field Type Default Description
contentDiff List<DiffHunk> \[\] Unified-diff hunks for the content field. Empty when the content is identical.
tablesAdded List<Table> \[\] Tables present in b but not in a (by index position, excess right-side tables).
tablesRemoved List<Table> \[\] Tables present in a but not in b (by index position, excess left-side tables).

Image extraction configuration.

Field Type Default Description
extractImages Boolean true Extract images from documents
targetDpi Int 300 Target DPI for image normalization
maxImageDimension Int 4096 Maximum dimension for images (width or height)
injectPlaceholders Boolean true Whether to inject image reference placeholders into markdown output. When true (default), image references like !\[Image 1\](embedded:p1_i0) are appended to the markdown. Set to false to extract images as data without polluting the markdown output.
autoAdjustDpi Boolean true Automatically adjust DPI based on image content
minDpi Int 72 Minimum DPI threshold
maxDpi Int 600 Maximum DPI threshold
maxImagesPerPage Int? null Maximum number of image objects to extract per PDF page. Some PDFs (e.g. technical diagrams stored as thousands of raster fragments) can trigger extremely long or indefinite extraction times when every image object on a dense page is decoded individually via the PDF extractor. Setting this limit causes xberg to stop collecting individual images once the count per page reaches the cap and emit a warning instead. null (default) means no limit — all images are extracted.
classify Boolean false When true, extracted images are classified by kind and grouped into clusters where they appear to belong to one figure. Defaults to false — opt in explicitly to avoid unexpected ML overhead.
includePageRasters Boolean false When true, full-page renders produced during OCR preprocessing are captured and returned as ImageKind.PageRaster entries in ExtractedDocument.images. PDF + OCR only. No rasters are captured for non-PDF inputs or when the document-level OCR bypass is active (whole-document backend). When OCR is enabled and this flag is set but the active backend skips per-page rendering, a ProcessingWarning is emitted in ExtractedDocument.processing_warnings. Defaults to false. Enable when downstream consumers need page thumbnails (e.g. citation previews, visual grounding).
runOcrOnImages Boolean true Run OCR on extracted images and include the recognized text in the document content. When true (default) and ExtractionConfig.ocr is configured, extracted images are processed with the configured OCR backend. Set to false to extract images without OCR processing, even when OCR is enabled.
ocrTextOnly Boolean false When true, image OCR results are rendered as plain text without the !\[...\](...) markdown placeholder. Only takes effect when run_ocr_on_images is also true.
appendOcrText Boolean false When true and ocr_text_only is false, append the OCR text after the image placeholder in the rendered output.
outputFormat ImageOutputFormat ImageOutputFormat.Native Target format for re-encoding extracted images. When set to anything other than Native, each extracted image is re-encoded to the requested format before being returned. This lets callers receive uniform output without duplicating encode logic downstream. Defaults to Native — no re-encode pass is performed and ExtractedImage.format reflects the source extractor’s output.
svg SvgOptions SVG-specific knobs for the image-encode pipeline. Controls sanitization and rasterization DPI when the source or output format is SVG. Only available when the svg feature is active.
includeDataBase64 Boolean false When true, populate ExtractedImage.data_base64 with a Base64-encoded copy of the raw image bytes. Useful for JSON-only clients that cannot efficiently parse the default integer-array serialization of data. Defaults to false; enabling it doubles the in-memory image representation for the duration of the response.

historyDates Map<String, String> {} Publication history dates keyed by event type (e.g. "received", "accepted").
contributorRoles List<ContributorRole> \[\] Authors and contributors with their stated roles.

Extracted keyword with metadata.

Field Type Default Description
text String The keyword text.

Since: v1.1

Structured per-language detection result: confidence, document share, and script — the information the ISO-code-only detected_languages list cannot convey (#261).

Populated by language_detection alongside detected_languages, with one entry per language, in the same order as detected_languages.

Field Type Default Description
language String ISO 639-3 language code, matching the corresponding entry in detected_languages.
confidence Double Confidence for this language, in \[0.0, 1.0\]. In single-language mode this is whatlang’s Info.confidence() for the whole document. In multi-language mode this is the average whatlang confidence across the document’s 200-character chunks that were classified as this language.
proportion Double Share of the document’s analyzed content classified as this language, in \[0.0, 1.0\]. In single-language mode this is always 1.0. In multi-language mode this is the fraction of 200-character chunks classified as this language (chunks that did not meet min_confidence for any language are excluded from the count but still count toward the denominator).
script String Writing system whatlang detected for this language (e.g. "Latin", "Cyrillic").
reliable Boolean Whether this detection is considered reliable. In single-language mode this is whatlang’s own Info.is_reliable() (confidence above whatlang’s internal 0.9 threshold). In multi-language mode this is the chunk-averaged confidence above that same 0.9 threshold, since whatlang’s is_reliable() only applies to a single detection.

Language detection configuration.

Field Type Default Description
enabled Boolean true Enable language detection
minConfidence Double 0.8 Minimum confidence threshold (0.0-1.0)
detectMultiple Boolean false Detect multiple languages in the document

Configuration for the late-interaction (ColBERT) pipeline.

Controls which model to use, batching, and download/cache behavior for the local ONNX ColBERT model.

Since v5.0.

Field Type Default Description
model LateInteractionModelType LateInteractionModelType.Preset The late-interaction model to use (defaults to the “gte-moderncolbert” preset).
batchSize Long Batch size for local ONNX inference. ColBERT emits a \[seq, dim\] multi-vector embedding per document, so memory scales with batch size — keep this modest.
maxLength Long Maximum token sequence length for the tokenizer (documents).
queryMaxLength Long Fixed padded length for query augmentation. ColBERT queries are padded (with the mask token, kept attention-live) to exactly this many tokens rather than truncated/left as-is — this is the “query augmentation” trick from the ColBERT paper.
showDownloadProgress Boolean false Show model download progress (local ONNX path only). When enabled, transfer progress for the model, tokenizer and config files is reported at info level on the xberg.model_download target while they download (#279). A warm Hugging Face cache transfers nothing and so reports nothing. Ignored by LateInteractionModelType.Plugin, which downloads no model.
cacheDir Path? null Optional alternate Hugging Face cache root for model files. When unset, hf-hub follows the standard Hugging Face environment and platform cache conventions.
acceleration AccelerationConfig? null Hardware acceleration for the late-interaction ONNX model.
maxEmbedDurationSecs Long? null Maximum wall-clock duration (in seconds) for a single embed call when using LateInteractionModelType.Plugin. null disables the timeout.

Signature:

@JvmStatic
fun default(): LateInteractionConfig

Example:

val result = LateInteractionConfig.default()

Returns: LateInteractionConfig


A single document match returned by max_sim_rank, with its position in the input and MaxSim score.

Since v5.0.

Field Type Default Description
index Long Position of this document in the original input slice.
score Float MaxSim relevance score. Higher means more relevant to the query.

Static metadata for a bundled ColBERT preset (WASM/Android-safe, no ORT).

Since v5.0.

Field Type Default Description
name String Stable preset name referenced from config.
modelRepo String HuggingFace repository hosting the ONNX model.
modelFile String Path to the ONNX file within the repo.
additionalFiles List<String> Sibling files that must be downloaded alongside model_file.
maxLength Long Maximum document token sequence length.
queryMaxLength Long Fixed padded query length (ColBERT query augmentation).
dim Long Per-token embedding dimensionality.
description String Human-readable description.

A single layout detection result.

Field Type Default Description
className LayoutClass Detected layout class (e.g. Table, Text, Title).
confidence Float Detection confidence score in \[0.0, 1.0\].
bbox BBox Bounding box in image pixel coordinates.

Layout detection configuration.

Controls layout detection behavior in the extraction pipeline. When set on ExtractionConfig, layout detection is enabled for PDF extraction.

Field Type Default Description
strategy LayoutStrategy LayoutStrategy.Always Which pages the layout model runs on. Defaults to LayoutStrategy.Always, the historical behavior: every page is rendered and inferred. LayoutStrategy.Auto pre-screens pages with cheap signals and skips the model where it cannot help.
confidenceThreshold Float? null Confidence threshold override (None = use model default).
applyHeuristics Boolean true Whether to apply postprocessing heuristics (default: true).
tableModel TableModel TableModel.Tatr Table structure recognition model. Controls which model is used for table cell detection within layout-detected table regions. Defaults to TableModel.Tatr.
tableOverlapPreference TableOverlapPreference TableOverlapPreference.Content How to resolve overlapping native vs layout tables. When a native oxide table and a layout (TATR/SLANeXT) table overlap on the same region, this controls which one is kept. Defaults to TableOverlapPreference.Content (historical behavior: keep the table with more content). Set to TableOverlapPreference.Native to favor source reading order (higher text F1) over the model’s cell reflow.
acceleration AccelerationConfig? null Hardware acceleration for ONNX models (layout detection + table structure). When set, controls which execution provider (CPU, CUDA, CoreML, TensorRT) is used for inference. Defaults to null (auto-select per platform).
enableChartUnderstanding Boolean false Route regions classified as charts to the chart-understanding OCR task. When true, layout regions detected as charts are sent to the VLM chart task (data-series/axis recovery) instead of being treated as generic image regions. Defaults to false — chart understanding is opt-in and has no effect on standard text/table extraction scores.

Signature:

@JvmStatic
fun default(): LayoutDetectionConfig

Example:

val result = LayoutDetectionConfig.default()

Returns: LayoutDetectionConfig


A detected layout region on a page.

When layout detection is enabled, each page may have layout regions identifying different content types (text, pictures, tables, etc.) with confidence scores and spatial positions.

Field Type Default Description
className String Layout class name (e.g. “picture”, “table”, “text”, “section_header”).
confidence Double Confidence score from the layout detection model (0.0 to 1.0).
boundingBox BoundingBox Bounding box in document coordinate space.
areaFraction Double Fraction of the page area covered by this region (0.0 to 1.0).

Since: v1.1

Budget enforcement configuration.

Mirrors liter-llm’s LlmBudgetConfig. Only takes effect when liter-llm’s tower feature is compiled in; otherwise the value round-trips through configuration but is not enforced at request time.

Field Type Default Description
globalLimit Double? null Global spend limit in USD.
modelLimits Map<String, Double>? {} Per-model spend limits in USD, keyed by model name.
enforcement String? null Enforcement mode: "hard" (reject over-budget requests) or "soft" (log only).

Since: v1.1

Response cache configuration.

Mirrors liter-llm’s LlmCacheConfig. Only takes effect when liter-llm’s tower feature is compiled in; otherwise the value round-trips through configuration but is not consulted at request time.

Field Type Default Description
maxEntries Long? null Maximum number of cached entries.
ttlSeconds Long? null Cache entry time-to-live, in seconds.
backend String? null Cache backend name (e.g. "memory", or an opendal scheme).
backendConfig Map<String, String>? {} Backend-specific configuration key/value pairs.

Configuration for an LLM provider/model via liter-llm.

Each feature (VLM OCR, VLM embeddings, structured extraction) carries its own LlmConfig, allowing different providers per feature.

Debug is implemented by hand so api_key, header values, and the AWS credentials in BedrockConfig are never printed.

Field Type Default Description
model String Provider/model string using liter-llm routing format. Examples: "openai/gpt-4o", "anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-20250514", "groq/llama-3.1-70b-versatile".
apiKey String? null API key for the provider. When null, liter-llm falls back to the provider’s standard environment variable (e.g., OPENAI_API_KEY).
baseUrl String? null Custom base URL override for the provider endpoint.
timeoutSecs Long? null Request timeout in seconds. When null, liter-llm’s built-in 60s default applies, except the VLM OCR path which uses a 300s default (a single page image transcription routinely exceeds 60s). Set explicitly to override.
maxRetries Int? null Maximum retry attempts (default: 3).
temperature Double? null Sampling temperature for generation tasks.
maxTokens Long? null Maximum tokens to generate.
topP Double? null Nucleus sampling parameter for generation tasks, applied to individual requests built from this config. Restricts sampling to the smallest set of tokens whose cumulative probability mass is at least this value; lower is more focused. Validated to \[0.0, 1.0\] by LlmConfig.validate. Mirrors liter-llm’s ChatCompletionRequest.top_p. A request-time parameter like temperature/max_tokens above, not a client-level setting.
stop List<String>? \[\] Stop sequence(s) that halt token generation, applied to individual requests built from this config. Mirrors liter-llm’s ChatCompletionRequest.stop (types.common.StopSequence), which liter-llm represents as either a single string or a list of strings via an untagged enum. Always expressed here as a list — even one stop sequence is \["..."\] — so the field has a single, FFI-friendly shape across every language binding instead of a single-or-list union type. Converted to liter-llm’s StopSequence.Multiple at each request-building call site; see to_stop_sequence.
seed Long? null Random seed for reproducible outputs, applied to individual requests built from this config. Provider support varies — some silently ignore it. Mirrors liter-llm’s ChatCompletionRequest.seed.
presencePenalty Double? null Presence penalty for generation tasks, applied to individual requests built from this config. Positive values discourage the model from repeating topics already present in the conversation. Validated to \[-2.0, 2.0\] by LlmConfig.validate. Mirrors liter-llm’s ChatCompletionRequest.presence_penalty.
frequencyPenalty Double? null Frequency penalty for generation tasks, applied to individual requests built from this config. Positive values discourage the model from repeating the same tokens verbatim. Validated to \[-2.0, 2.0\] by LlmConfig.validate. Mirrors liter-llm’s ChatCompletionRequest.frequency_penalty.
reasoningEffort String? null Reasoning effort level for extended-thinking models, applied to individual requests built from this config. Mirrors liter-llm’s ChatCompletionRequest.reasoning_effort (types.chat.ReasoningEffort). A request-time parameter like temperature/ max_tokens above, not a client-level setting — into_client_builder does not map it. Accepted as a plain string — one of "low", "medium", "high", "minimal", "max" (case-insensitive; liter-llm’s own #\[serde(rename_all = "lowercase")\] spelling) — rather than importing liter-llm’s enum, because this module compiles even when the liter-llm feature is disabled. See parse_reasoning_effort for the conversion into liter_llm.ReasoningEffort.
extraBody Any? null Provider-specific extra parameters merged into the request body (guardrails, safety settings, grounding config, etc.), applied to individual requests built from this config. Mirrors liter-llm’s ChatCompletionRequest.extra_body. A request-time parameter like temperature/max_tokens above, not a client-level setting.
loadEnv Boolean? null Whether liter-llm should load provider credentials from environment variables. Mirrors liter-llm’s ClientConfigBuilder.load_env. When null, liter-llm’s own default behavior applies.
headers Map<String, String>? {} Extra HTTP headers sent with every request to the provider. Mirrors liter-llm’s ClientConfigBuilder.header, for gateways or providers that require custom auth/routing headers.
providers List<LlmProviderConfig>? \[\] Custom provider configurations, in addition to liter-llm’s built-in providers. Mirrors liter-llm’s LlmConfig.providers, for OpenAI-compatible gateways and self-hosted model servers that are not in the built-in provider catalog.
cache LlmCacheConfig? null Response cache configuration. Mirrors liter-llm’s LlmConfig.cache. Only takes effect when liter-llm’s tower feature is compiled in; otherwise the value is accepted but unused. Boxed for the same reason as bedrock (a4579589ac): LlmConfig is the payload of EmbeddingModelType.Llm and RerankerModelType.Llm, whose other variants are tens of bytes. Inlining this and the two sub-configs below pushed that variant to 480 bytes and tripped clippy.large_enum_variant on the --features full leg. ~keep
budget LlmBudgetConfig? null Budget enforcement configuration. Mirrors liter-llm’s LlmConfig.budget. Only takes effect when liter-llm’s tower feature is compiled in; otherwise the value is accepted but unused.
rateLimit LlmRateLimitConfig? null Per-model rate limiting configuration. Mirrors liter-llm’s LlmConfig.rate_limit. Only takes effect when liter-llm’s tower feature is compiled in; otherwise the value is accepted but unused.
costTracking Boolean? null Enable per-request cost tracking. Mirrors liter-llm’s LlmConfig.cost_tracking. Only takes effect when liter-llm’s tower feature is compiled in; otherwise the value is accepted but unused.
tracing Boolean? null Enable OpenTelemetry-compatible tracing spans. Mirrors liter-llm’s LlmConfig.tracing. Only takes effect when liter-llm’s tower feature is compiled in; otherwise the value is accepted but unused.
cooldownSecs Long? null Cooldown duration after transient errors, in seconds. Mirrors liter-llm’s LlmConfig.cooldown_secs. Only takes effect when liter-llm’s tower feature is compiled in; otherwise the value is accepted but unused.
healthCheckSecs Long? null Background health check interval, in seconds. Mirrors liter-llm’s LlmConfig.health_check_secs. Only takes effect when liter-llm’s tower feature is compiled in; otherwise the value is accepted but unused.
bedrock BedrockConfig? null AWS Bedrock settings (region, cross-region routing, explicit credentials). Only consulted for bedrock/-prefixed models. When null — or when an individual field inside it is null — liter-llm falls back to the standard AWS environment variables and the default credential chain.
credentialProvider CredentialProviderConfig? null Managed OAuth2/STS credential provider for auth modes liter-llm cannot express via a static api_key — Azure AD, Vertex AI OAuth2, Vertex AI Application Default Credentials, and AWS STS Web Identity (EKS IRSA) for Bedrock. Mirrors liter-llm’s client.ClientConfigBuilder.credential_provider, which takes an Arc<dyn liter_llm.auth.CredentialProvider> trait object — that cannot appear in a serde DTO. Every CredentialProviderConfig variant is plain data instead, so it round-trips through TOML/JSON/YAML and every language binding like the rest of LlmConfig. Inert on wasm32: crate.llm (the module that reads this field — build_credential_provider and friends) is compiled out entirely on that target, via the crate-root #\[cfg(all(feature = "liter-llm", not(target_arch = "wasm32")))\] pub mod llm; gate in lib.rs. Every variant needs liter-llm’s native-http-backed auth modules, and wasm32 builds request only wasm-http (see the liter-llm dependency comment in Cargo.toml), so there is no code path left on that target to construct a provider from this field, or to reject it. This type (core.config.llm) has no liter-llm dependency itself and compiles on every target, so setting this field on a wasm32 build is accepted by serde and silently ignored — a plain no-op, not a Validation. Reject a wasm32 build that sets this field yourself if that silence is a problem for your use case; xberg does not do it for you. GitHub Copilot’s device-flow provider has no variant here: it takes no configuration at all (liter_llm.auth.github_copilot.GithubCopilotCredentialProvider.new accepts only an HTTP client) and drives an interactive terminal prompt, so it cannot be expressed as data. A Rust embedder who needs it — or any other fully custom CredentialProvider — can call xberg.llm.client.create_client_with_credential_provider directly with a liter-llm dependency of their own.

Validate the request-time sampling parameters that have a documented range: top_p ([0.0, 1.0]), presence_penalty, and frequency_penalty (both [-2.0, 2.0], matching liter-llm’s/OpenAI’s semantics). An unset field is always valid — silence in config should never be rejected.

Called from build_client_config before a liter-llm client is built from this config, alongside the existing validate_cache_backend check in that function.

instance.validate()

Returns: No return value.

authHeader String? null Header name used to carry the API key (defaults to Authorization when unset).
modelPrefixes List<String> \[\] Model name prefixes routed to this provider (e.g. \["my-provider/"\]).

Per-model rate limiting configuration.

Mirrors liter-llm’s LlmRateLimitConfig. Only takes effect when liter-llm’s tower feature is compiled in; otherwise the value round-trips through configuration but is not enforced at request time.

tpm Long? null Tokens per minute limit.
windowSeconds Long? null Rate limit window, in seconds.

Token usage and cost data for a single LLM call made during extraction.

Populated when VLM OCR, structured extraction, or LLM-based embeddings are used. Multiple entries may be present when multiple LLM calls occur within one extraction (e.g. VLM OCR + structured extraction).

Field Type Default Description

totalTokens Long? null Total tokens (input + output).
estimatedCost Double? null Estimated cost in USD based on the provider’s published pricing.

Field Type Default Description
title String? null Document title
subject String? null Document subject or description
authors List<String>? \[\] Primary author(s) - always Vec for consistency
keywords List<String>? \[\] Keywords/tags - always Vec for consistency
language String? null Primary language (ISO 639 code)

createdBy String? null User who created the document
modifiedBy String? null User who last modified the document
pages PageStructure? null Page/slide/sheet structure with boundaries
format FormatMetadata? null Format-specific metadata (discriminated union) Contains detailed metadata specific to the document format. Serialized as a nested "format" object with a format_type discriminator field.
imagePreprocessing ImagePreprocessingMetadata? null Image preprocessing metadata (when OCR preprocessing was applied)
jsonSchema Any? null JSON schema (for structured data extraction)
error ErrorMetadata? null Error metadata (for batch operations)
extractionDurationMs Long? null Extraction duration in milliseconds (for benchmarking). This field is populated by batch extraction to provide per-file timing information. It’s null for single-file extraction (which uses external timing).
category String? null Document category (from frontmatter or classification).
tags List<String>? \[\] Document tags (from frontmatter).
documentVersion String? null Document version string (from frontmatter).
abstractText String? null Abstract or summary text (from frontmatter).
outputFormat String? null Output format identifier (e.g., “markdown”, “html”, “text”). Set by the output format pipeline stage when format conversion is applied. Previously stored in metadata.additional\["output_format"\].
ocrUsed Boolean Whether OCR was used during extraction. Set to true whenever the extraction pipeline ran an OCR backend (Tesseract, PaddleOCR, VLM, etc.) and used that output as the primary or fallback text. false means native text extraction was used exclusively.
additional Map<String, Any> {} Additional custom fields from postprocessors. Serialized as a nested "additional" object (not flattened at root level). Uses Cow<'static, str> keys so static string keys avoid allocation.

Combined paths to all models needed for OCR (backward compatibility).

Field Type Default Description
detModel Path Exact path to the detection ONNX model in the Hugging Face snapshot.
clsModel Path Exact path to the classification ONNX model in the Hugging Face snapshot.
recModel Path Exact path to the recognition ONNX model in the Hugging Face snapshot.
dictFile Path Path to the character dictionary file.

A ColBERT multi-vector embedding: one row per attention-live token.

data is a flat, row-major buffer of length num_tokens * dim — row i (the embedding for token i) occupies data[i*dim .. (i+1)*dim]. Flat storage keeps the type FFI-friendly across binding boundaries; use MultiVectorEmbedding.rows internally to iterate per-token slices.

Since v5.0.

Field Type Default Description
numTokens Int Number of attention-live token rows (padding rows are dropped, not zeroed — see engine.normalize_tokens).
dim Int Dimensionality of each per-token vector.
data List<Float> Flat row-major buffer, length num_tokens * dim.

Returns true if data holds exactly num_tokens * dim values — i.e. the flat buffer matches the declared shape.

All fields are pub and the type is Deserialize, so a value coming from an untrusted source (FFI caller, JSON, a store row) may be malformed. max_sim_score guards on this so a length-mismatched buffer scores 0.0 rather than silently mis-scoring (a shorter data would make rowschunks_exact drop a trailing partial chunk). Uses checked_mul so an overflowing num_tokens * dim is reported as malformed instead of wrapping.

Since v5.0.

Signature:

fun isWellFormed(): Boolean

Example:

val result = instance.isWellFormed()

Returns: Boolean


Input signals for multi-document boundary detection.

Field Type Default Description
pageCount Int Total number of pages in the PDF.
pages List<PageSignals> Per-page signals extracted from the PDF.

Thresholds for multi-document boundary detection.

All fields are public; callers override any subset via struct-update syntax.

Field Type Default Description
densityShiftThreshold Float 0.3 Text density difference threshold for DensityShift detection. Default: 0.3.
bigramOverlapMin Float 0.1 Minimum bigram-overlap ratio below which a density shift is promoted to a DensityShift boundary. Default: 0.1 (10 % overlap).

Signature:

fun default(): MultidocThresholds

Example:

val result = MultidocThresholds.default()

Configuration for the NER post-processor.

Field Type Default Description
backend NerBackendKind NerBackendKind.Onnx Backend that runs the entity detection.
categories List<EntityCategory> \[\] Entity categories to detect. Defaults to a sensible PERSON/ORG/LOCATION/EMAIL set when empty.
model String? null Override the default model — only used by NerBackendKind.Onnx. null lets the backend pick its pinned default xberg GLiNER model alias.
llm LlmConfig? null Optional LLM configuration — only used by NerBackendKind.Llm. Token usage for LLM backends is recorded in ExtractedDocument.llm_usage.
customLabels List<String> \[\] Arbitrary user-supplied entity labels for zero-shot detection. xberg-gliner natively supports zero-shot inference over caller-supplied labels. The LLM backend also honours these labels by including them in the structured-output schema. Custom labels surface as EntityCategory.Custom in the resulting Entity stream. Use this when you need domain-specific entity types (e.g. "Treatment", "Product", "Vessel") without forking GLiNER’s taxonomy.

Trait for OCR backend plugins.

Implement this trait to add custom OCR capabilities. OCR backends can be:

  • Native Rust implementations (like Tesseract)
  • FFI bridges to external libraries (like PaddleOCR)
  • Cloud-based OCR services (Google Vision, AWS Textract, etc.)

OCR backends must be thread-safe (Send + Sync) to support concurrent processing.

Process an image and extract text via OCR.

Returns:

An ExtractedDocument containing the extracted text and metadata.

Errors:

  • XbergError.Ocr - OCR processing failed
  • XbergError.Validation - Invalid image format or configuration
  • XbergError.Io - I/O errors (these always bubble up)

Backends that support runtime tuning can read config.backend_options and deserialize only the keys they care about. Unknown keys are silently ignored, so multiple backends can coexist in a pipeline without key conflicts.

Signature:

@Throws(XbergError::class)
fun processImage(imageBytes: ByteArray, config: OcrConfig): ExtractedDocument

imageBytes ByteArray Yes Raw image data (JPEG, PNG, TIFF, etc.)
config OcrConfig Yes OCR configuration (language, PSM mode, etc.)

Returns: ExtractedDocument

Errors: Throws XbergError.

Process a file and extract text via OCR.

Default implementation reads the file and calls process_image. Override for custom file handling or optimizations.

Errors:

Same as process_image, plus file I/O errors.

Signature:

@Throws(XbergError::class)
fun processImageFile(path: Path, config: OcrConfig): ExtractedDocument

Example:

val result = instance.processImageFile("value", OcrConfig())

Parameters:

Name Type Required Description
path Path Yes Path to the image file
config OcrConfig Yes OCR configuration

Returns: ExtractedDocument

Errors: Throws XbergError.

Check if this backend supports a given language code.

Returns:

true if the language is supported, false otherwise.

Signature:

fun supportsLanguage(lang: String): Boolean

Example:

val result = instance.supportsLanguage("value")

Parameters:

Name Type Required Description
lang String Yes ISO 639-2/3 language code (e.g., “eng”, “deu”, “fra”)

Returns: Boolean

Get the backend type identifier.

Returns:

The backend type enum value.

Signature:

fun backendType(): OcrBackendType

Example:

val result = instance.backendType()

Returns: OcrBackendType

Optional: Get a list of all supported languages.

Defaults to empty list. Override to provide comprehensive language support info.

Signature:

fun supportedLanguages(): List<String>

Example:

val result = instance.supportedLanguages()

Returns: List<String>

Optional: Check if the backend supports table detection.

Defaults to false. Override if your backend can detect and extract tables.

Signature:

fun supportsTableDetection(): Boolean

Example:

val result = instance.supportsTableDetection()

Returns: Boolean

Check if the backend supports direct document-level processing (e.g. for PDFs).

Defaults to false. Override if the backend has optimized document processing.

Signature:

fun supportsDocumentProcessing(): Boolean

Example:

val result = instance.supportsDocumentProcessing()

Returns: Boolean

Declare that this backend emits structured markdown directly (tables, headings, lists) and downstream layout reconstruction should be skipped.

Defaults to false — classical OCR backends (Tesseract, PaddleOCR classical) return plain text per detected region. End-to-end VLM backends (PaddleOCR-VL, GOT-OCR 2.0) emit markdown in one forward pass and should override this to true.

Signature:

fun emitsStructuredMarkdown(): Boolean

Confidence scores for an OCR element.

Separates detection confidence (how confident that text exists at this location) from recognition confidence (how confident about the actual text content).

Field Type Default Description
detection Double? null Detection confidence: how confident the OCR engine is that text exists here. PaddleOCR provides this as box_score, Tesseract doesn’t have a direct equivalent. Range: 0.0 to 1.0 (or None if not available).
recognition Double Recognition confidence: how confident about the text content. Range: 0.0 to 1.0.

OCR configuration.

Field Type Default Description
enabled Boolean true Whether OCR is enabled. Setting enabled: false is a shorthand for disable_ocr: true on the parent ExtractionConfig. Images return metadata only; PDFs use native text extraction without OCR fallback. Defaults to true. When false, all other OCR settings are ignored.
backend String OCR backend: tesseract, paddleocr, paddle-ocr, sceptre, or vlm. Sceptre uses ONNX Runtime on desktop/server and tract on supported mobile builds. Browser WebAssembly uses the separate byte-fed Sceptre worker API.
language List<String> \[\] Language code(s) for OCR recognition. Defaults to \["eng"\]. For Tesseract, languages are joined with “+”. A list is the canonical form and the only form accepted by the binding object APIs (Python, Node, PHP, WASM, etc.): \["eng", "deu"\]. When deserializing from a config file, JSON body, or the REST/MCP API, a single string is also accepted, either as one code (“eng”) or “+”-joined (“eng+deu”).
tesseractConfig TesseractConfig? null Tesseract-specific configuration (optional)
outputFormat OutputFormat? null Output format for OCR results (optional, for format conversion)
paddleOcrConfig Any? null PaddleOCR-specific configuration (optional, JSON passthrough). Deserialized into a PaddleOcrConfig, so any of its fields can be overridden here — most notably model_version ("pp-ocrv6" default / "pp-ocrv5") and model_tier. In TOML: toml \[ocr.paddle_ocr_config\] model_version = "pp-ocrv5" model_tier = "server" The XBERG_OCR_MODEL_VERSION / XBERG_OCR_MODEL_TIER environment variables set the same two keys for env-configured servers (issue #1279).
backendOptions Any? null Arbitrary per-call options passed through to the backend unchanged. Custom OCR backends and built-in backends that support runtime tuning can read this value and deserialize the keys they care about. Keys unknown to the backend are silently ignored. This is the recommended extension point for per-call parameters that are not covered by the typed fields above (e.g. mode switching, preprocessing flags, inference batch size). Scope: when pipeline is null, this value is propagated to the primary stage of the auto-constructed pipeline. When pipeline is explicitly set, this field has no effect — the caller must set OcrPipelineStage.backend_options directly on the relevant stage(s) instead. Example: json { "mode": "fast", "enable_layout": true, "timeout_ms": 5000 }
elementConfig OcrElementConfig? null OCR element extraction configuration
qualityThresholds OcrQualityThresholds? null Quality thresholds for the native-text-to-OCR fallback decision. When None, uses compiled defaults (matching previous hardcoded behavior).
pipeline OcrPipelineConfig? null Multi-backend OCR pipeline configuration. When set, enables weighted fallback across multiple OCR backends based on output quality. When None, uses the single backend field (same as today).
autoRotate Boolean false Enable automatic page rotation based on orientation detection. When enabled, uses Tesseract’s DetectOrientationScript() to detect page orientation (0/90/180/270 degrees) before OCR. If the page is rotated with high confidence, the image is corrected before recognition. This is critical for handling rotated scanned documents.
vlmFallback VlmFallbackPolicy VlmFallbackPolicy.Disabled Ergonomic VLM fallback policy. When set to anything other than VlmFallbackPolicy.Disabled and OcrConfig.pipeline is null, a multi-stage pipeline is synthesised automatically: - VlmFallbackPolicy.OnLowQuality\[classical_stage, vlm_stage\] with the quality_threshold mapped onto OcrQualityThresholds.pipeline_min_quality. - VlmFallbackPolicy.Always\[vlm_stage\] only. Requires OcrConfig.vlm_config to be Some when not Disabled. When OcrConfig.pipeline is explicitly set, this field is ignored.
vlmConfig LlmConfig? null VLM (Vision Language Model) OCR configuration. Required when backend is "vlm" or when vlm_fallback is not VlmFallbackPolicy.Disabled. Uses liter-llm to send page images to a vision model for text extraction.
vlmPrompt String? null Custom Jinja2 prompt template for VLM OCR. When null, uses the default template. Available variables: - {{ language }} — The document language code (e.g., “eng”, “deu”).
acceleration AccelerationConfig? null Hardware acceleration for ONNX Runtime models (e.g. PaddleOCR, layout detection). Not user-configurable via config files — injected at runtime from ExtractionConfig.acceleration before each process_image call.
tessdataBytes Map<String, ByteArray>? null Caller-supplied Tesseract traineddata bytes per language code. Primary use case is the WASM build, which has no filesystem and cannot download tessdata at runtime. Native builds typically rely on TessdataManager and ignore this field. When present, the WASM Tesseract backend prefers these bytes over its compile-time-bundled English data. Skipped by serde to keep config files small — supply via the typed API at runtime.
tessdataPath Path? null Runtime override for tessdata directory path. When set, uses this path as the highest-priority tessdata location, bypassing environment variables and cache directories. Useful for embedding pre-installed tessdata in applications. When null, uses the standard resolution chain: TESSDATA_PREFIX env, cache dir, system paths.

Signature:

@JvmStatic
fun default(): OcrConfig

Example:

val result = OcrConfig.default()

Returns: OcrConfig


A unified OCR element representing detected text with full metadata.

This is the primary type for structured OCR output, preserving all information from both Tesseract and PaddleOCR backends.

Field Type Default Description
text String The recognized text content.
geometry OcrBoundingGeometry OcrBoundingGeometry.Rectangle Bounding geometry (rectangle or quadrilateral).
confidence OcrConfidence Confidence scores for detection and recognition.
level OcrElementLevel OcrElementLevel.Line Hierarchical level (word, line, block, page).
rotation OcrRotation? null Rotation information (if detected).
pageNumber Int Page number (1-indexed).
parentId String? null Parent element ID for hierarchical relationships. Only used for Tesseract output which has word -> line -> block hierarchy.
backendMetadata Map<String, Any> {} Backend-specific metadata that doesn’t fit the unified schema.

Configuration for OCR element extraction.

Controls how OCR elements are extracted and filtered.

Field Type Default Description
includeElements Boolean Whether to include OCR elements in the extraction result. When true, the ocr_elements field in ExtractedDocument will be populated.
minLevel OcrElementLevel OcrElementLevel.Line Minimum hierarchical level to include. Elements below this level (e.g., words when min_level is Line) will be excluded.
minConfidence Double Minimum recognition confidence threshold (0.0-1.0). Elements with confidence below this threshold will be filtered out.
buildHierarchy Boolean Whether to build hierarchical relationships between elements. When true, parent_id fields will be populated based on spatial containment. Only meaningful for Tesseract output.

OCR extraction result.

Result of performing OCR on an image or scanned document, including recognized text and detected tables.

Field Type Default Description
content String Recognized text content
mimeType String Original MIME type of the processed image
metadata Map<String, Any> {} OCR processing metadata (confidence scores, language, etc.)
tables List<OcrTable> \[\] Tables detected and extracted via OCR
ocrElements List<OcrElement>? \[\] Structured OCR elements with bounding boxes and confidence scores. Available when TSV output is requested or table detection is enabled.

OCR processing metadata.

Captures information about OCR processing configuration and results.

Field Type Default Description
language String OCR language code(s) used
psm Int Tesseract Page Segmentation Mode (PSM)
outputFormat String Output format (e.g., “text”, “hocr”)
tableCount Int Number of tables detected
tableRows Int? null Number of rows in the detected table (if a single table was found).
tableCols Int? null Number of columns in the detected table (if a single table was found).

Multi-backend OCR pipeline with quality-based fallback.

Backends are tried in priority order (highest first). After each backend produces output, quality is evaluated. If it meets quality_thresholds.pipeline_min_quality, the result is accepted. Otherwise the next backend is tried; if none clears the threshold, an internal selection policy derived from the OcrConfig decides which stage’s result is returned as the best effort (vlm_fallback pipelines prefer their last non-empty stage; explicit and classical pipelines stay score-based).

Field Type Default Description
stages List<OcrPipelineStage> Ordered list of backends to try. Sorted by priority (descending) at runtime.
qualityThresholds OcrQualityThresholds /* serde(default) */ Quality thresholds for deciding whether to accept a result or try the next backend.

A single backend stage in the OCR pipeline.

Field Type Default Description
backend String Backend name: “tesseract”, “paddleocr”, “paddle-ocr”, “sceptre”, “vlm”, or a custom registered name. Sceptre uses ONNX Runtime on desktop/server and tract on Android/iOS; browser WebAssembly has a separate byte-fed engine because the normal async OCR registry assumes native model storage.
priority Int serde(default = "default_priority") Priority weight (higher = tried first). Stages are sorted by priority descending.
language List<String>? /* serde(default) */ Language override for this stage (None = use parent OcrConfig.language). A list is the canonical form and the only form accepted by the binding object APIs: \["eng", "deu"\]. When deserializing from a config file, JSON body, or the REST/MCP API, a single string is also accepted, either as one code (“eng”) or “+”-joined (“eng+deu”).
tesseractConfig TesseractConfig? /* serde(default) */ Tesseract-specific config override for this stage.
paddleOcrConfig Any? /* serde(default) */ PaddleOCR-specific config for this stage.
vlmConfig LlmConfig? /* serde(default) */ VLM config override for this pipeline stage.
backendOptions Any? /* serde(default) */ Arbitrary per-call options passed through to the backend unchanged. Backends that support runtime tuning (mode switching, preprocessing flags, inference parameters, etc.) read this value and deserialize the keys they care about. Keys unknown to the backend are silently ignored, so options from different backends can coexist in the same config without conflict. Example (custom backend): json { "mode": "fast", "enable_layout": true }

Quality thresholds for OCR fallback decisions and pipeline quality gating.

All fields default to the values that match the previous hardcoded behavior, so OcrQualityThresholds.default() preserves existing semantics exactly.

Field Type Default Description
minTotalNonWhitespace Long 64 Minimum total non-whitespace characters to consider text substantive.
minNonWhitespacePerPage Double 32 Minimum non-whitespace characters per page on average.
minMeaningfulWordLen Long 4 Minimum character count for a word to be “meaningful”.
minMeaningfulWords Long 3 Minimum count of meaningful words before text is accepted.
minAlnumRatio Double 0.3 Minimum alphanumeric ratio (non-whitespace chars that are alphanumeric).
minGarbageChars Long 5 Minimum Unicode replacement characters (U+FFFD) to trigger OCR fallback.
maxFragmentedWordRatio Double 0.6 Maximum fraction of short (1-2 char) words before text is considered fragmented.
criticalFragmentedWordRatio Double 0.8 Critical fragmentation threshold — triggers OCR regardless of meaningful words. Normal English text has ~20-30% short words. 80%+ is definitive garbage.
minAvgWordLength Double 2 Minimum average word length. Below this with enough words indicates garbled extraction.
minWordsForAvgLengthCheck Long 50 Minimum word count before average word length check applies.
minConsecutiveRepeatRatio Double 0.08 Minimum consecutive word repetition ratio to detect column scrambling.
minWordsForRepeatCheck Long 50 Minimum word count before consecutive repetition check is applied.
substantiveMinChars Long 100 Minimum character count for “substantive markdown” OCR skip gate.
nonTextMinChars Long 20 Minimum character count for “non-text content” OCR skip gate.
alnumWsRatioThreshold Double 0.4 Alphanumeric+whitespace ratio threshold for skip decisions.
pipelineMinQuality Double 0.5 Minimum quality score (0.0-1.0) for a pipeline stage result to be accepted. If the result from a backend scores below this, try the next backend.
minUndecodableRatio Double Minimum fraction of non-whitespace characters that are undecodable (Unicode Private Use Area, replacement characters, or non-whitespace control characters) before a page’s text layer is treated as unreadable and routed to OCR (issue #1254). Gated by min_total_non_whitespace so short snippets with a stray symbol or two do not trip this check.
enableProvenanceOcrRouting Boolean Whether to route a page to OCR when pdf_oxide reports that a high fraction of its text was fabricated rather than read from the file (MappingProvenance.Fallback, pdf_oxide 0.3.75+, issue #1254). This is a direct fact from the extractor’s ISO 32000-1 §9.10.2 mapping cascade, distinct from the character-heuristic proxy behind min_undecodable_ratio. Defaults to true.
minProvenanceFallbackRatio Double Minimum fraction of a page’s non-whitespace characters with MappingProvenance.Fallback provenance before the page is treated as having a fabricated text layer and routed to OCR (issue #1254). Gated by min_total_non_whitespace so a short page with a stray fallback character cannot trip it. Only used when enable_provenance_ocr_routing is true.

Signature:

@JvmStatic
fun default(): OcrQualityThresholds

Example:

val result = OcrQualityThresholds.default()

Returns: OcrQualityThresholds


Rotation information for an OCR element.

Table detected via OCR.

Represents a table structure recognized during OCR processing.

Field Type Default Description
cells List<List<String>> Table cells as a 2D vector (rows × columns)
markdown String Markdown representation of the table
pageNumber Int Page number where the table was found (1-indexed)
boundingBox OcrTableBoundingBox? /* serde(default) */ Bounding box of the table in pixel coordinates (from OCR word positions).

Bounding box for an OCR-detected table in pixel coordinates.

Field Type Default Description
left Int Left x-coordinate (pixels)
top Int Top y-coordinate (pixels)
right Int Right x-coordinate (pixels)
bottom Int Bottom y-coordinate (pixels)

Document orientation detection result.

Field Type Default Description
degrees Int Detected orientation in degrees (0, 90, 180, or 270).
confidence Float Confidence score (0.0-1.0).

Configuration for PaddleOCR backend.

Configures PaddleOCR text detection and recognition with multi-language support. Uses a builder pattern for convenient configuration.

Field Type Default Description
language String Language code (e.g., “en”, “ch”, “jpn”, “kor”, “deu”, “fra”)
cacheDir Path? null Optional Hugging Face Hub cache root for model files. When unset, the standard HF_HUB_CACHE, legacy HUGGINGFACE_HUB_CACHE, and HF_HOME conventions are used.
useAngleCls Boolean Enable angle classification for rotated text (default: false). Can misfire on short text regions, rotating crops incorrectly before recognition.
enableTableDetection Boolean Enable table structure detection (default: false)
detDbThresh Float Database threshold for text detection (default: 0.3) Range: 0.0-1.0, higher values require more confident detections
detDbBoxThresh Float Box threshold for text bounding box refinement (default: 0.5) Range: 0.0-1.0
detDbUnclipRatio Float Unclip ratio for expanding text bounding boxes (default: 1.6) Controls the expansion of detected text regions
detLimitSideLen Int Maximum side length for detection image (default: 1024) Larger images may be resized to this limit for faster inference
recBatchNum Int Batch size for recognition inference (default: 6) Number of text regions to process simultaneously
padding Int Padding in pixels added around the image before detection (default: 10). Large values can include surrounding content like table gridlines.
dropScore Float Minimum recognition confidence score for text lines (default: 0.5). Text regions with recognition confidence below this threshold are discarded. Matches PaddleOCR Python’s drop_score parameter. Range: 0.0-1.0
modelTier String Model tier controlling detection/recognition model size and accuracy trade-off. For PP-OCRv5 (model_version = "pp-ocrv5"): - "mobile" (default): Lightweight models (~4.5MB detection, ~16.5MB recognition), fast download and inference - "server": Large, high-accuracy models (~88MB detection, ~84MB recognition), best for GPU or complex documents For PP-OCRv6 (model_version = "pp-ocrv6"): "medium" (default), "small", or "tiny". A legacy "mobile"/"server" tier under v6 falls back to "medium".
modelVersion String Model generation: "pp-ocrv6" (default) or "pp-ocrv5". PP-OCRv6 adds a unified CJK+Latin+JA/KO recognition model with medium/small/tiny tiers (see model_tier). Scripts outside the v6 unified coverage (Arabic, Cyrillic, Devanagari, Greek, Tamil, Telugu, Thai) transparently fall back to the PP-OCRv5 per-script recognition models. Defaults to "pp-ocrv6"; the default model_tier ("mobile") resolves to the v6 "medium" tier. Select "pp-ocrv5" to pin the legacy per-script/unified fleet.
inferenceBackend PaddleInferenceBackend? null Explicit inference engine choice. null (the default) resolves to the compiled default: ort when the paddle-ocr-ort feature is compiled in, otherwise tract. An explicit choice is validated against the compiled features when the OCR engine is constructed (see crate.paddle_ocr.backend.effective_backend); requesting an engine whose feature is not compiled in is a clear configuration error rather than a silent fallback.

Content for a single page/slide.

When page extraction is enabled, documents are split into per-page content with associated tables and images mapped to each page.

Uses shared tables and images for memory efficiency:

  • List<Table> enables zero-copy sharing of table data
  • List<ExtractedImage> enables zero-copy sharing of image data
  • Maintains exact JSON compatibility via custom Serialize/Deserialize

This reduces memory overhead for documents with shared tables/images by avoiding redundant copies during serialization.

Field Type Default Description
pageNumber Int Page number (1-indexed)
content String Text content for this page
tables List<Table> /* serde(default) */ Tables found on this page (uses Arc for memory efficiency) Serializes as List<Table> for JSON compatibility while maintaining shared in-memory ownership for zero-copy sharing.
imageIndices List<Int> /* serde(default) */ Indices into ExtractedDocument.images for images found on this page. Each value is a zero-based index into the top-level images collection. Only populated when extract_images = true in the extraction config.
hierarchy PageHierarchy? null Hierarchy information for the page (when hierarchy extraction is enabled) Contains text hierarchy levels (H1-H6) extracted from the page content.
isBlank Boolean? null Whether this page is blank (no meaningful text content) Determined during extraction based on text content analysis. A page is blank if it has fewer than 3 non-whitespace characters and contains no tables or images.
layoutRegions List<LayoutRegion>? null Layout detection regions for this page (when layout detection is enabled). Contains detected layout regions with class, confidence, bounding box, and area fraction. Only populated when layout detection is configured.
speakerNotes String? null Speaker notes for this slide (PPTX only). Contains the text from the slide’s notes pane (ppt/notesSlides/notesSlide{N}.xml). Only populated when the source is a PPTX file and notes are present.
sectionName String? null Section name this slide belongs to (PPTX only). PowerPoint sections group slides into logical chapters (<p:sectionLst> in ppt/presentation.xml). Only populated when the source is a PPTX file and the slide belongs to a named section.
sheetName String? null Sheet name for this page (XLSX/ODS only). Each spreadsheet sheet maps to one PageContent entry. This field carries the sheet’s display name as it appears in the workbook. null for all non-spreadsheet formats and for sheets with an empty name.

Page hierarchy structure containing heading levels and block information.

Used when PDF text hierarchy extraction is enabled. Contains hierarchical blocks with heading levels (H1-H6) for semantic document structure.

Field Type Default Description
blockCount Int Number of hierarchy blocks on this page
blocks List<HierarchicalBlock> /* serde(default) */ Hierarchical blocks with heading levels

Metadata for individual page/slide/sheet.

Captures per-page information including dimensions, content counts, and visibility state (for presentations).

Field Type Default Description
number Int Page number (1-indexed)
title String? null Page title (usually for presentations)
imageCount Int? null Number of images on this page
tableCount Int? null Number of tables on this page
hidden Boolean? null Whether this page is hidden (e.g., in presentations)
isBlank Boolean? null Whether this page is blank (no meaningful text, no images, no tables) A page is considered blank if it has fewer than 3 non-whitespace characters and contains no tables or images. This is useful for filtering out empty pages in scanned documents or PDFs with blank separator pages.
hasVectorGraphics Boolean /* serde(default) */ Whether this page contains non-trivial vector graphics (paths, shapes, curves) Indicates the presence of vector-drawn content such as charts, diagrams, or geometric shapes (e.g., from Adobe InDesign, LaTeX TikZ). These are invisible to ExtractedDocument.images since they are not embedded as raster XObjects. Set to true when path count exceeds a heuristic threshold, signaling that downstream consumers may want to rasterize the page to capture this content. Only populated for PDFs; null for other document types.

Page range for a chunk (0-indexed, inclusive).

Field Type Default Description
start Int Start page (0-indexed, inclusive).
end Int End page (0-indexed, inclusive).

Get the number of pages in this range.

Signature:

Per-page signals extracted from PDF content.

Field Type Default Description
pageNumber Int 1-indexed page number.
textExcerpt String First ~500 characters of extracted text.

hasPageNumberOneMarker Boolean true if text contains “Page 1” or “1 of N” pattern.
hasSignatureBlock Boolean true if text contains signature indicators (“Sincerely”, “Signed”) or a signature image bbox.
layoutTextDensity Float Text density: characters per page area, normalised to \[0.0, 1.0\].

Derive signals from raw page text.

Callers that already have structured per-page data (e.g. from a PDF extractor) can set individual fields directly. This constructor is for callers that only have the plain-text content of a page (e.g. from PageContent).

when unknown (disables density-shift detection for this page).

All signal derivations are conservative starting points. Each is documented inline. They err on the side of fewer false positives; tune thresholds via MultidocThresholds rather than by changing these heuristics.

Returns: PageSignals


A single page covered by a chunk, with an optional bounding box on that page.

See ChunkMetadata.page_spans (#1295) for population semantics.

Field Type Default Description
page Int Page number (1-indexed).
bbox BoundingBox? null Bounding box on this page, if known.

Unified page structure for documents.

Supports different page types (PDF pages, PPTX slides, Excel sheets) with character offset boundaries for chunk-to-page mapping.

Field Type Default Description
totalCount Int Total number of pages/slides/sheets
unitType PageUnitType Type of paginated unit
boundaries List<PageBoundary>? null Character offset boundaries for each page Maps character ranges in the extracted content to page numbers. Used for chunk page range calculation.
pages List<PageInfo>? null Detailed per-page metadata (optional, only when needed)

One detected PII span in the input text.

Field Type Default Description
start Long Inclusive byte-offset start of the match in the source text.
end Long Exclusive byte-offset end of the match.
category PiiCategory Category the match belongs to.
text String Matched substring (owned copy — pattern engine returns owned data so the caller can free the original text if needed before replacement).

A PDF annotation extracted from a document page.

Field Type Default Description
annotationType PdfAnnotationType The type of annotation.
content String? null Text content of the annotation (e.g., comment text, link URL).
pageNumber Int Page number where the annotation appears (1-indexed).
boundingBox BoundingBox? null Bounding box of the annotation on the page.
author String? /* serde(default) */ Author/creator of the annotation (PDF /T entry).
modified String? /* serde(default) */ Last modification date of the annotation (PDF /M entry), as a raw PDF date string (e.g. "D:20240115120000Z").
color String? /* serde(default) */ Annotation colour (PDF /C entry), normalised to a CSS-compatible #rrggbb hex string. Gray and CMYK colour spaces are converted to RGB.
subject String? /* serde(default) */ Subject of the annotation (PDF /Subj entry).
quadPoints List<BoundingBox>? /* serde(default) */ Per-line bounding boxes derived from the annotation’s /QuadPoints entry. Present for text markup annotations (Highlight, Underline, StrikeOut, Squiggly), one box per marked line/run of text.
markedText String? /* serde(default) */ The document text covered by Self.quad_points, recovered from the page content underneath the marked-up region. Populated for Highlight, Underline, StrikeOut, and Squiggly annotations when the underlying text could be recovered.

PDF-specific configuration.

Field Type Default Description
extractImages Boolean false Extract images from PDF
extractTables Boolean true Extract tables from PDF. When true (default), runs pdf_oxide’s native grid detector and, if it finds nothing, falls back to the heuristic text-layer reconstruction in pdf.oxide.table.extract_tables_heuristic. Set to false to skip both passes — tables will then be empty in the result.
passwords List<String>? null List of passwords to try when opening encrypted PDFs
extractMetadata Boolean true Extract PDF metadata
hierarchy HierarchyConfig? null Hierarchy extraction configuration (None = hierarchy extraction disabled)
extractAnnotations Boolean false Extract PDF annotations (text notes, highlights, links, stamps). Default: false
topMarginFraction Float? null Top margin fraction (0.0–1.0) of page height to exclude headers/running heads. Default: 0.06 (6%)
bottomMarginFraction Float? null Bottom margin fraction (0.0–1.0) of page height to exclude footers/page numbers. Default: 0.05 (5%)
allowSingleColumnTables Boolean false Allow single-column pseudo tables in extraction results. By default, tables with fewer than 2 columns (layout-guided) or 3 columns (heuristic) are rejected. When true, the minimum column count is relaxed to 1, allowing single-column structured data (glossaries, itemized lists) to be emitted as tables. Other quality filters (density, sparsity, prose detection) still apply.
ocrInlineImages Boolean false Perform OCR on inline images extracted from PDF pages and attach the recognized text to each ExtractedImage.ocr_result. Requires Tesseract to be available; if ExtractionConfig.ocr is null the extractor falls back to TesseractConfig.default(). Per-image failures degrade gracefully (the image is returned without OCR text rather than failing the whole extraction). Default: false.
extractFormFields Boolean true Extract AcroForm and XFA form fields into ExtractedDocument.form_fields. When true (default), reads the document’s interactive form structure (field names, types, values, widget geometry). Cheap and strictly additive — non-form PDFs simply yield an empty list. Set to false to skip the form pass entirely.
readingOrder Boolean false Reorder extracted text by layout-detected reading order. When true, projects text spans onto layout-detected regions, performs column detection, and emits spans in natural reading order (important for multi-column academic PDFs). It also repairs 90/180/270-degree rotated text runs — sideways tables and captions — that otherwise read word-reversed and glued (GH#1358); see crate.extractors.pdf.reading_order for the rotation-handling details and its limits. Requires the layout-detection feature and a page for which layout detection actually produces hints: a page with no detected regions falls back to the original, unrepaired extraction order even with this enabled. Independent of LayoutStrategy, which only controls whether layout detection runs at all — enabling Always or Auto alone does not turn reordering on. Defaults to false.

Signature:

@JvmStatic
fun default(): PdfConfig

Example:

val result = PdfConfig.default()

Returns: PdfConfig


A form field extracted from a PDF’s AcroForm or XFA structure.

Populated by the PDF extractor when PdfConfig.extract_form_fields is enabled and the document is a fillable form. Supports both AcroForm (standard) and XFA (XML Forms Architecture) layers. When both are present, AcroForm fields take priority (canonical fallback per PDF spec), and XFA-only fields are appended. The collection is empty for non-form PDFs and for non-PDF formats.

PdfConfig.extract_form_fields: crate.core.config.PdfConfig.extract_form_fields

Field Type Default Description
name String Partial field name (the leaf name within the field hierarchy).
fullName String Fully-qualified field name (dotted path from the form root).
fieldType FormFieldType Classified field type.
value String? /* serde(default) */ Current field value, if any.
defaultValue String? /* serde(default) */ Default field value, if any.
flags Int /* serde(default) */ Raw field-flags bitmask (read-only, required, multiline, …).
page Int? /* serde(default) */ 1-indexed page the field’s widget appears on. Currently always null for AcroForm fields; page assignment is a deferred enhancement requiring spatial analysis of widget annotations per page.
bbox BoundingBox? /* serde(default) */ Widget bounding box on its page, if known.
maxLength Int? /* serde(default) */ Maximum input length for text fields, if specified.
tooltip String? /* serde(default) */ Tooltip / alternate field description, if present.

pageCount Int? null Total number of pages in the PDF document
scannedConfidence Float? null How strongly the document’s most scan-like page resembles a scan, in \[0.0, 1.0\]. null when the document could not be inspected. A full-page raster with no visible text scores at least 0.85; a born-digital slide with a full-bleed background image scores 0.50.
scannedPages List<Int>? \[\] Pages that look like scans (1-indexed), using the default confidence threshold. null when the document could not be inspected; empty when no page qualifies.
layoutGatedPages List<Int>? \[\] Pages the auto layout strategy skipped (1-indexed). null unless layout detection ran with LayoutStrategy.Auto; empty when the gate selected every page.
layoutGateReasons List<String>? \[\] Why the auto layout gate selected or skipped each page. Index i is page i + 1. Snake_case values such as multi_column, table_grid, or plain_text (the skip reason). null unless layout detection ran with LayoutStrategy.Auto.

Base trait that all plugins must implement.

This trait provides common functionality for plugin lifecycle management, identification, and metadata.

All plugins must be Send + Sync to support concurrent usage across threads.

Returns the unique name/identifier for this plugin.

The name should be:

  • Unique across all plugins
  • Lowercase with hyphens (e.g., “my-custom-plugin”)
  • URL-safe characters only

Signature:

fun name(): String

Example:

val result = instance.name()

Returns: String

Returns the semantic version of this plugin.

Should follow semver format: MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH

Defaults to the xberg crate version.

Signature:

fun version(): String

Example:

val result = instance.version()

Returns: String

Initialize the plugin.

Called once when the plugin is registered. Use this to:

  • Load configuration
  • Initialize resources (connections, caches, etc.)
  • Validate dependencies

This method takes &self instead of &mut self to work with Arc<dyn Plugin>. Plugins needing mutable state during initialization should use interior mutability patterns (Mutex, RwLock, OnceCell, etc.).

Errors:

Should return an error if initialization fails. The plugin will not be registered if this method returns an error.

Defaults to a no-op for stateless plugins.

Signature:

@Throws(XbergError::class)
fun initialize()

Example:

instance.initialize()

Returns: No return value.

Errors: Throws XbergError.

Shutdown the plugin.

Called when the plugin is being unregistered or the application is shutting down. Use this to:

  • Close connections
  • Flush caches
  • Release resources

This method takes &self instead of &mut self to work with Arc<dyn Plugin>. Plugins needing mutable state during shutdown should use interior mutability patterns (Mutex, RwLock, etc.).

Errors:

Errors during shutdown are logged but don’t prevent the shutdown process.

Defaults to a no-op for stateless plugins.

Signature:

@Throws(XbergError::class)
fun shutdown()

Example:

instance.shutdown()

Returns: No return value.

Errors: Throws XbergError.

Optional plugin description for debugging and logging.

Defaults to empty string if not overridden.

Signature:

fun description(): String

Example:

val result = instance.description()

Returns: String

Optional plugin author information.

Defaults to empty string if not overridden.

Signature:

fun author(): String

Example:

val result = instance.author()

Returns: String


Trait for post-processor plugins.

Post-processors transform or enrich extraction results after the initial extraction is complete. They can:

  • Clean and normalize text
  • Add metadata (language, keywords, entities)
  • Split content into chunks
  • Score quality
  • Apply custom transformations

Post-processors are executed in stage order:

  1. Early - Language detection, entity extraction
  2. Middle - Keyword extraction, token reduction
  3. Late - Custom hooks, final validation

Within each stage, processors are executed in registration order.

Post-processor errors are non-fatal by default - they’re captured in metadata and execution continues. To make errors fatal, return an error from process().

Post-processors must be thread-safe (Send + Sync).

Process an extraction result.

Transform or enrich the extraction result. Can modify:

  • content - The extracted text
  • metadata - Add or update metadata fields
  • tables - Modify or enhance table data

Returns:

Ok(()) if processing succeeded, Err(...) for fatal failures.

Errors:

Return errors for fatal processing failures. Non-fatal errors should be captured in metadata directly on the result.

This signature avoids unnecessary cloning of large extraction results by taking a mutable reference instead of ownership. Processors modify the result in place.

Signature:

@Throws(XbergError::class)
fun process(result: ExtractedDocument, config: ExtractionConfig)

Example:

instance.process(ExtractedDocument(), ExtractionConfig())

Parameters:

Name Type Required Description
result ExtractedDocument Yes Mutable reference to the extraction result to process
config ExtractionConfig Yes Extraction configuration

Returns: No return value.

Errors: Throws XbergError.

Get the processing stage for this post-processor.

Determines when this processor runs in the pipeline.

Returns:

The ProcessingStage (Early, Middle, or Late).

Signature:

fun processingStage(): ProcessingStage

Example:

val result = instance.processingStage()

Returns: ProcessingStage

Optional: Check if this processor should run for a given result.

Allows conditional processing based on MIME type, metadata, or content. Defaults to true (always run).

Returns:

true if the processor should run, false to skip.

Signature:

fun shouldProcess(result: ExtractedDocument, config: ExtractionConfig): Boolean

Example:

val result = instance.shouldProcess(ExtractedDocument(), ExtractionConfig())

Parameters:

Name Type Required Description
result ExtractedDocument Yes The extracted document
config ExtractionConfig Yes The extraction config

Returns: Boolean

Optional: Estimate processing time in milliseconds.

Used for logging and debugging. Defaults to 0 (unknown).

Returns:

Estimated processing time in milliseconds.

Signature:

fun estimatedDurationMs(result: ExtractedDocument): Long

Example:

val result = instance.estimatedDurationMs(ExtractedDocument())

Parameters:

Name Type Required Description
result ExtractedDocument Yes The extracted document

Returns: Long

Execution priority within the processing stage.

Higher values run first within the same ProcessingStage. Defaults to 50. Use 0-49 for fallback processors, 50 for normal processors, and 51-255 for high-priority processors that should run early in their stage.

Signature:

fun priority(): Int

Example:

val result = instance.priority()

Returns: Int

A curated structured-extraction preset loaded from the embedded library.

Each preset is a JSON file under src/presets/library/<id>/v1.json that validates against the meta-schema in src/presets/preset.schema.json.

Downstream catalog consumers can inject presets via extend_from_dir. The embedded OSS library ships only the generic_document toy preset.

message String Human-readable description of what went wrong.

A single run-level or style-level property change.

Used for revisions that change formatting rather than text content. from and to store normalized property values when the source format exposes them; either side may be absent when the format only records one side of the change.

One QR code decoded from an extracted image.

Field Type Default Description
payload String Decoded payload (text, URL, vCard string, …).
confidence Float? null Detector-reported confidence in \[0.0, 1.0\]. null when the decoder does not expose confidence (the default rqrr backend always reports Some because successful decode implies high confidence).
bbox QrBoundingBox? null Bounding box of the QR code inside the source image, in pixel coordinates (x, y of the top-left corner; width, height of the rectangle). null if the decoder did not report a bounding box.

RAKE-specific parameters.

Example:

val result = RakeParams.default()

Returns: RakeParams


Pre-computed table markdown for a table detection region.

Produced by the TATR-based table structure recognizer and surfaced as part of layout-aware OCR results. The struct lives here (under layout-types, pure-Rust) so that consumers who do not enable layout-detection (ORT) can still reference the type in their own code.

Field Type Default Description
detectionBbox BBox Detection bbox that this table corresponds to (for matching).
cells List<List<String>> Table cells as a 2D vector (rows × columns).
markdown String Rendered markdown table.

Since: v1.0

Configuration for the redaction post-processor.

Field Type Default Description
categories List<PiiCategory> \[\] Categories to redact. Empty means “every category supported by the engine.”
strategy RedactionStrategy RedactionStrategy.Mask Strategy applied to every match.
ner NerConfig? null Optional NER backend — required to redact PERSON / ORGANIZATION / LOCATION categories (the pure-Rust pattern engine only covers regex-detectable PII).
preserveOffsets Boolean true When true, chunk byte ranges are kept consistent with the rewritten content by adjusting byte_start / byte_end after replacement. When false, chunk byte ranges still refer to the original content offsets — useful when downstream consumers want to map findings back to the original document.
customTerms List<RedactionTerm> \[\] Arbitrary user-supplied literal terms to redact. Each term is treated as a regex hit against the document, surfacing as PiiCategory.Custom(label) in RedactionFinding where label is the per-term label (defaulting to the literal value itself). Case-insensitive by default; set RedactionTerm.case_sensitive for exact match. Use this when you need to redact tenant-specific tokens (employee IDs, project codes, internal product names) without writing a custom plugin.
customPatterns List<RedactionPattern> \[\] Arbitrary user-supplied regex patterns to redact. Same surfacing semantics as custom_terms: each hit becomes a PiiCategory.Custom(label) finding. Patterns are validated at config-construction time via RedactionConfig.validate.

Signature:

@JvmStatic
fun default(): RedactionConfig

Example:

val result = RedactionConfig.default()

Returns: RedactionConfig

Validate user-supplied terms and patterns at config-construction time.

Compiles every RedactionPattern.pattern (with the case-insensitive inline flag where applicable) and returns the first compilation error so the caller can reject the config before the redaction pipeline runs. Pure terms (regex-escaped) cannot fail to compile, but the function still rejects empty values to avoid degenerate zero-length matches.

Signature:

@Throws(Error::class)
fun validate()

Example:

instance.validate()

Returns: No return value.

Errors: Throws Error.


One redaction event: which span was rewritten, why, and with what.

Field Type Default Description
start Int Byte-offset start in the original (pre-redaction) ExtractedDocument.content.
end Int Byte-offset end (exclusive) in the original ExtractedDocument.content.
category PiiCategory PII category that fired this redaction.
strategy RedactionStrategy Strategy applied to this finding (mask, hash, token-replace, drop).
replacementToken String String that replaced the original mention. Always present; for Drop the replacement is the empty string.

One user-supplied regex pattern to redact.

The pattern is compiled with the Rust regex crate (no look-around). Case sensitivity is encoded in the pattern via the (?i) inline flag when Self.case_sensitive is false.

Field Type Default Description
label String Custom category label surfaced in RedactionFinding.category.
pattern String Regex pattern (Rust regex crate dialect — no look-around).
caseSensitive Boolean serde(default = "default_case_sensitive") When true, match case-sensitively; otherwise prepend (?i) to the regex.

Build a pattern with the given label (case-insensitive by default).

Signature:

@JvmStatic
fun labeled(label: String, pattern: String): RedactionPattern

Example:

val result = RedactionPattern.labeled("value", "value")

Parameters:

Name Type Required Description
label String Yes The label
pattern String Yes The pattern

Returns: RedactionPattern


Audit report describing what the redaction processor found and how it replaced it.

The redactor returns this alongside the rewritten content so compliance, replay, and audit-log consumers can see exactly what fired. Offsets are relative to the original pre-redaction content and are intended for audit reconstruction only — the original bytes are dropped at the end of the pipeline.

Field Type Default Description
findings List<RedactionFinding> Individual redaction findings in original-source byte order.
totalRedacted Int Total number of redactions applied across the document.

One user-supplied literal term to redact.

Matched as a regex-escaped substring (so callers do not need to escape metacharacters themselves). Case-insensitive by default — set Self.case_sensitive to true for exact byte-match semantics.

Field Type Default Description
label String Custom category label surfaced in RedactionFinding.category.
value String Literal value to match. Regex metacharacters are escaped automatically.
caseSensitive Boolean serde(default = "default_case_sensitive") When true, match the value as-is; otherwise match ASCII-case-insensitively.

Build a term whose label is the literal value itself (case-insensitive).

Signature:

@JvmStatic
fun literal(value: String): RedactionTerm

Example:

val result = RedactionTerm.literal("value")

Parameters:

Name Type Required Description
value String Yes The value

Returns: RedactionTerm

Build a term with a custom label.

Signature:

@JvmStatic
fun labeled(label: String, value: String): RedactionTerm

Example:

val result = RedactionTerm.labeled("value", "value")

Parameters:

Name Type Required Description
label String Yes The label
value String Yes The value

Returns: RedactionTerm


Sorted map of preset id → Preset.

Build the registry from preset files embedded at compile time under src/presets/library/. Validates every file against the meta-schema.

Signature:

@Throws(LoadError::class)
@JvmStatic
fun loadEmbedded(): Registry

Example:

val result = Registry.loadEmbedded()

Returns: Registry

Errors: Throws LoadError.

Return the global registry, loading it on first access.

Panics:

Panics if any embedded preset is malformed. The build-time validation test ensures this cannot happen for the embedded presets; a panic here indicates a build artifact problem, not a runtime error.

Signature:

@JvmStatic
fun global(): Registry

Example:

val result = Registry.global()

Returns: Registry

Look up a preset by its identifier.

Signature:

fun get(id: String): Preset?

Example:

val result = instance.get("value")

Parameters:

Name Type Required Description
id String Yes The id

Returns: Preset?

Materialize a PresetSummary list for the public registry endpoint.

Signature:

fun summaries(): List<PresetSummary>

Example:

val result = instance.summaries()

Returns: List<PresetSummary>

Number of presets currently loaded.

Signature:

fun len(): Long

Example:

val result = instance.len()

Returns: Long

Whether the registry contains zero presets.

Signature:

fun isEmpty(): Boolean

Example:

val result = instance.isEmpty()

Returns: Boolean

Read raw sample bytes for <preset_id> from library/<id>/samples/<name>. Returns null when the file is absent.

Signature:

fun sampleBytes(presetId: String, name: String): ByteArray?

Example:

val result = instance.sampleBytes("value", "value")

Parameters:

Name Type Required Description
presetId String Yes The preset id
name String Yes The name

Returns: ByteArray?

Load additional preset files from a runtime directory and insert them into this registry.

Reads every *.json file directly under dir (non-recursive), validates each against the meta-schema, and inserts it. Files that fail validation are rejected — the error is returned immediately and the registry is left in a partially-updated state. Existing entries with the same id are overwritten.

Returns the number of presets successfully loaded from dir.

This is the injection point for downstream catalogs that add curated presets on top of the single embedded OSS preset.

Signature:

@Throws(LoadError::class)
fun extendFromDir(dir: Path): Long

Example:

val result = instance.extendFromDir("value")

Parameters:

Name Type Required Description
dir Path Yes The dir

Returns: Long

Errors: Throws LoadError.


Trait for document renderers that convert extraction results to output strings.

Renderers are typically stateless converters that transform extracted content into a specific output format (Markdown, HTML, Djot, plain text, etc.). They participate in the standard Plugin lifecycle so custom renderers can be registered from any supported binding language.

The format name is exposed via Plugin.name. For stateless renderers the Plugin lifecycle methods (version, initialize, shutdown) all take no-op defaults and need not be overridden.

Renderers must be Send + Sync (inherited from Plugin).

Binding-safe rendering entry point for foreign-language plugin bridges.

Accepts one public extraction result and returns the rendered output.

Signature:

@Throws(XbergError::class)
fun renderResult(result: ExtractedDocument): String

Example:

val result = instance.renderResult(ExtractedDocument())

Parameters:

Name Type Required Description
result ExtractedDocument Yes The extracted document

Returns: String

Errors: Throws XbergError.


A single document returned by the reranker, with its position in the input and score.

index maps back to the caller’s original document list, so metadata arrays (e.g. IDs, paths) can be reordered without passing them through the reranker.

Since v5.0.

Field Type Default Description
index Long Position of this document in the original input documents slice.
score Float Relevance score in \[0, 1\]. Higher means more relevant to the query.
document String The document text.

Trait for in-process reranker backend plugins.

Cross-encoders score (query, document) pairs jointly and return a raw logit per document. The dispatcher in rerank applies sigmoid to convert logits to [0, 1] scores, sorts descending by score, and truncates to top_k.

Async to match the convention used by EmbeddingBackend and other plugin traits. Host-language bridges wrap their synchronous host callables in spawn_blocking or the equivalent.

Backends must be Send + Sync + 'static. They are stored in Arc<dyn RerankerBackend> and may be called concurrently from xberg’s dispatcher. If the backend’s underlying model is not thread-safe, the backend itself must serialize access internally (e.g. via Mutex<Inner>).

  • rerank(query, documents) MUST return exactly documents.len() scores. The dispatcher validates this before sorting and returning to callers; a non-conforming backend surfaces as a XbergError.Validation, not a panic.

  • Scores are raw logits in any range — callers must NOT assume [0, 1]. The dispatcher applies sigmoid before sorting.

  • rerank may be called from any thread. Its future must be Send (enforced by async_trait when #[async_trait] is used on non-WASM targets).

  • shutdown() (inherited from Plugin) may be invoked concurrently with an in-flight rerank() call. Implementations must tolerate this — letting in-flight calls finish via the Arc reference and only releasing shared state that isn’t needed by rerank.

The synchronous rerank entry uses tokio.task.block_in_place to await the trait’s async rerank, which requires a multi-thread tokio runtime. Callers running inside a current_thread runtime must use rerank_async instead.

Since v5.0.

Score a list of documents against a query.

Returns one raw logit per document in the same order as the input. The dispatcher applies sigmoid to convert to [0, 1] scores.

Errors:

Implementations should return Plugin for backend-specific failures. The dispatcher validates the returned length against documents.len() before sorting.

Signature:

@Throws(XbergError::class)
fun rerank(query: String, documents: List<String>): List<Float>

Example:

val result = instance.rerank("value", [])

Parameters:

Name Type Required Description
query String Yes The query
documents List<String> Yes The documents

Returns: List<Float>

Errors: Throws XbergError.


Configuration for the reranking pipeline.

Controls which model to use, how many results to return, and download/cache behavior for local ONNX models.

Since v5.0.

Field Type Default Description
model RerankerModelType RerankerModelType.Preset The reranker model to use (defaults to “balanced” preset if not specified).
topK Long? null Return at most this many documents. null returns all. Applied after sorting by score, so the highest-scoring documents are kept.
batchSize Long 32 Batch size for local ONNX cross-encoder inference.
showDownloadProgress Boolean false Show model download progress (local ONNX path only). When enabled, transfer progress for the model, tokenizer and config files is reported at info level on the xberg.model_download target while they download (#279). A warm Hugging Face cache transfers nothing and so reports nothing. Ignored by RerankerModelType.Llm and RerankerModelType.Plugin, which download no model.
cacheDir Path? null Optional alternate Hugging Face cache root for model files. When unset, hf-hub follows the standard Hugging Face environment and platform cache conventions.
acceleration AccelerationConfig? null Hardware acceleration for the reranker ONNX model. Controls which execution provider (CPU, CUDA, CoreML, TensorRT) is used for local inference. Defaults to null (auto-select per platform).
maxRerankDurationSecs Long? 60 Maximum wall-clock duration (in seconds) for a single rerank() call when using RerankerModelType.Plugin. Applies only to the in-process plugin path — protects against hung host-language backends. On timeout, the dispatcher returns Plugin instead of blocking forever. null disables the timeout. The default (60 seconds) is conservative for common in-process inference; increase for large document sets on slow hardware.

Signature:

@JvmStatic
fun default(): RerankerConfig

Example:

val result = RerankerConfig.default()

Returns: RerankerConfig


A preset merged with caller-supplied overrides (custom schema, prompt suffix, context map). Output is what the pipeline orchestrator consumes.

Field Type Default Description
id String Source preset identifier.
version String Source preset version.
fingerprint String Fingerprint of the source preset file, used as a cache token.
schemaName String Schema name forwarded to the LLM.
schema Any Effective JSON Schema (caller override or the preset’s own).
systemPrompt String System prompt with rendered context appended.
mergeMode MergeMode Merge strategy for paginated outputs.
preferredCallMode CallMode Preferred call mode.
emitCitations Boolean Whether the prompt asks for per-field citations.

The content changes that make up a single revision.

For insertions and deletions the content field carries the added/removed lines as DiffLine.Added / DiffLine.Removed entries. For format changes, property_changes carries normalized before/after formatting values when the source document exposes them.

Field Type Default Description
content List<DiffLine> \[\] Line-level content changes for this revision.
tableChanges List<CellChange> \[\] Cell-level table changes for this revision.
propertyChanges List<PropertyChange> \[\] Formatting or metadata property changes for this revision.

maxNestingDepth Long 1024 Maximum nesting depth for structures (100)
maxEntityLength Long 1048576 Maximum length of any single XML entity / attribute / token (1 MiB). This is a per-token cap, NOT a total cap — billion-laughs class attacks where a single entity expands to hundreds of MB are caught here, while normal long text content (a paragraph, a CDATA block) is caught by max_content_size instead.
maxContentSize Long 104857600 Maximum string growth per document (100 MB)
maxIterations Long 10000000 Maximum iterations per operation
maxXmlDepth Long 1024 Maximum XML depth (100 levels)

A URL entry from a sitemap.

Field Type Default Description
url String The URL.
lastmod String? null The last modification date, if present.
changefreq String? null The change frequency, if present.
priority String? null The priority, if present.

A sparse learned embedding: vocabulary term indices and their weights.

indices are ascending vocabulary token ids; values[i] is the weight for indices[i]. The two arrays always have equal length. Only strictly-positive terms are retained, so the representation is genuinely sparse.

Since v5.0.

Field Type Default Description
indices List<Int> Vocabulary token ids with non-zero weight, ascending.
values List<Float> Weights parallel to SparseEmbedding.indices.

Configuration for the sparse-embedding pipeline.

Controls which model to use, batching, and download/cache behavior for the local ONNX SPLADE model.

Since v5.0.

Field Type Default Description
model SparseEmbeddingModelType SparseEmbeddingModelType.Preset The sparse-embedding model to use (defaults to the “opensearch-v3-distill” preset).
batchSize Long Batch size for local ONNX inference. SPLADE emits a \[seq, vocab\] logit tensor per document, so memory scales with batch size — keep this modest.
maxLength Long Maximum token sequence length for the tokenizer.
showDownloadProgress Boolean false Show model download progress (local ONNX path only). When enabled, transfer progress for the model, tokenizer and config files is reported at info level on the xberg.model_download target while they download (#279). A warm Hugging Face cache transfers nothing and so reports nothing. Ignored by SparseEmbeddingModelType.Plugin, which downloads no model.
cacheDir Path? null Optional alternate Hugging Face cache root for model files. When unset, hf-hub follows the standard Hugging Face environment and platform cache conventions.
acceleration AccelerationConfig? null Hardware acceleration for the sparse-embedding ONNX model.

textFields List<String> JSON paths of fields that were classified as text-bearing.
value Any? null The parsed document as a canonical serde_json.Value tree, when the source format could be represented as one. null only for TOML inputs whose toml.Value fails to round-trip through serde_json.Value (xberg-io/xberg#155): the extractor falls back to a raw code block in that case.
flattened List<String> Flattened path: value renderings for every leaf field, in traversal order. Previously computed and discarded (xberg-io/xberg#166); now surfaced so callers get a full-text view even when the structured renderer only emits headings/lists for a subset of fields.

Configuration for LLM-based structured data extraction.

Sends extracted document content to a VLM with a JSON schema, returning structured data that conforms to the schema.

Field Type Default Description

SVG-specific configuration for the image-encode pipeline.

Applies when the source image is SVG or when the output format is set to ImageOutputFormat.Svg. Available when the svg feature is active.

Used via ImageExtractionConfig.svg.

Field Type Default Description
sanitize Boolean true Run SVG bytes through usvg sanitization (strips external href attributes, JavaScript event handlers, and foreignObject elements) even when the output format is Native. Defaults to true.
renderDpi Float 96 Target DPI when rasterizing SVG to a pixel-based format (PNG, JPEG, WebP, HEIF). The tree’s viewBox is scaled by render_dpi / 96.0 before the pixel buffer is allocated. Defaults to 96.0 (1× CSS pixel density).

Signature:

@JvmStatic
fun default(): SvgOptions

Example:

val result = SvgOptions.default()

Extracted table structure.

Represents a table detected and extracted from a document (PDF, image, etc.). Tables are converted to both structured cell data and Markdown format.

Field Type Default Description
cells List<List<String>> \[\] Table cells as a 2D vector (rows × columns)
markdown String Markdown representation of the table
pageNumber Int Page number where the table was found (1-indexed)
boundingBox BoundingBox? null Bounding box of the table on the page (PDF coordinates: x0=left, y0=bottom, x1=right, y1=top). Only populated for PDF-extracted tables when position data is available.
tableId String? null Stable identifier shared by every tables\[\] entry that represents a fragment of the same physical table. Assigned deterministically by the extraction pipeline (e.g. a sequential "table-N" in document order); never derived from randomness or wall-clock time, so the same input document always produces the same ids. Consumers can use it to reconcile the markdown blocks in content / pages\[\].content / chunks\[\].content with the structured entries in tables\[\]. null when the extractor did not assign one. Today, same-page fragments of one physical table are already merged into a single tables\[\] entry before ids are assigned (see PDF table stitching), so in practice table_id is unique per entry rather than shared across several. A table split across a page boundary is intentionally not linked — its per-page pieces get separate ids. Sharing one id across page-boundary fragments is a known possible future extension, not implemented yet.
columns List<String>? \[\] Header cells for this fragment, i.e. the first row of cells. Populated even when this fragment’s own header row was merged away or physically lives in a sibling fragment (see table_id), so a single fragment is interpretable in isolation. null when no header row could be determined.

Individual table cell with content and optional styling.

Future extension point for rich table support with cell-level metadata.

Field Type Default Description
content String Cell content as text
rowSpan Int Row span (number of rows this cell spans)
colSpan Int Column span (number of columns this cell spans)
isHeader Boolean Whether this is a header cell

Cell-level changes for a pair of tables that share the same index.

Field Type Default Description
fromIndex Long Zero-based index of the table in both a.tables and b.tables.
toIndex Long Zero-based index in b.tables (equal to from_index for same-dimension tables).
cellChanges List<CellChange> Cell-level changes within the table.

Structured table grid with cell-level metadata.

Stores row/column dimensions and a flat list of cells with position info.

Field Type Default Description
rows Int Number of rows in the table.
cols Int Number of columns in the table.
cells List<GridCell> \[\] All cells in row-major order.

Tesseract OCR configuration.

Provides fine-grained control over Tesseract OCR engine parameters. Most users can use the defaults, but these settings allow optimization for specific document types (invoices, handwriting, etc.).

Field Type Default Description
language List<String> \[\] Language code(s) for OCR recognition. For Tesseract, languages are joined with “+”. A list is the canonical form and the only form accepted by the binding object APIs (Python, Node, PHP, WASM, etc.): \["eng", "deu"\]. When deserializing from a config file, JSON body, or the REST/MCP API, a single string is also accepted, either as one code (“eng”) or “+”-joined (“eng+deu”).
psm Int 3 Page Segmentation Mode (0-13). Common values: - 3: Fully automatic page segmentation (native default) - 6: Assume a single uniform block of text (WASM default — avoids layout-analysis hang) - 11: Sparse text with no particular order
outputFormat String "markdown" Output format (“text” or “markdown”)
oem Int 3 OCR Engine Mode (0-3). - 0: Legacy engine only - 1: Neural nets (LSTM) only (usually best) - 2: Legacy + LSTM - 3: Default (based on what’s available)
minConfidence Double 0 Minimum confidence threshold (0.0-100.0). Words with confidence below this threshold may be rejected or flagged.

tesseditDontBlkrejGoodWds Boolean true Don’t reject good words during block-level processing
tesseditDontRowrejGoodWds Boolean true Don’t reject good words during row-level processing
tesseditEnableDictCorrection Boolean true Enable dictionary correction
tesseditCharWhitelist String "" Whitelist of allowed characters (empty = all allowed)
tesseditCharBlacklist String "" Blacklist of forbidden characters (empty = none forbidden)
tesseditUsePrimaryParamsModel Boolean true Use primary language params model
textordSpaceSizeIsVariable Boolean true Variable-width space detection
thresholdingMethod Boolean false Use adaptive thresholding method

Trait for in-process tokenizer backend plugins.

Unlike EmbeddingBackend, this trait is synchronous: the chunk splitter calls Self.count_tokens inside its boundary search, many times per chunk, so counting must be a direct call with no async dispatch. Host-language bridges (PyO3, napi-rs, etc.) invoke their host callable synchronously on the calling thread; implementations should keep count_tokens cheap — it dominates chunking time when the backend is slow.

initialize() is called once during registration, before any count_tokens call; lazy-loading implementations should load their vocabulary there. After registration succeeds, count_tokens may be called from any thread, concurrently. shutdown() runs on unregistration and may overlap an in-flight count_tokens call from a chunking run that resolved the backend earlier — implementations must tolerate this, e.g. by keeping the resources count_tokens needs alive via Arc.

Backends must be Send + Sync + 'static (inherited from Plugin). They are stored in Arc<dyn TokenizerBackend> and called concurrently from xberg’s chunking pipeline. If the underlying tokenizer isn’t thread-safe, the backend must serialize access internally.

  • count_tokens must return a non-zero count for non-empty text. The registry probes this once at registration and rejects backends that report zero — a zero count would make every span appear to fit any budget. At runtime, a zero count for non-empty text is not trusted: the chunker substitutes the character count and logs the substitution. (An implementation may still return 0 for the empty string.)

  • count_tokens must not panic; return a best-effort count for text the tokenizer can’t fully process.

  • Counting should be deterministic for a given input — the splitter may evaluate overlapping spans of the same text repeatedly.

Count the tokens in text according to this backend’s tokenizer.

Signature:

fun countTokens(text: String): Long

Example:

val result = instance.countTokens("value")

Parameters:

Name Type Required Description
text String Yes The text

Returns: Long


Configuration for audio/video transcription (speech-to-text).

When present and enabled, Xberg will route audio and video files (mp3, mp4, m4a, wav, webm, etc.) through the transcription pipeline.

The heavy dependencies (ORT, hf-hub, symphonia) are only pulled when the transcription feature is enabled. The config struct itself is available under transcription-types so that ExtractionConfig round-trips on all targets.

All fields have sensible defaults. The recommended starting point is:

[extraction.transcription]
enabled = true
model = "tiny"
Field Type Default Description
enabled Boolean true Master switch. When false, the transcription pipeline is not run. The extractor is registered for audio/video MIME types whenever the transcription feature is compiled in, independently of this flag, so an audio/video input with enabled = false fails with an XbergError.Transcription explaining how to turn transcription on — it does not fall through to another extractor.
model WhisperModel WhisperModel.Tiny Whisper model size to use. Smaller = faster + lower memory. tiny is the pragmatic default for first-time users and CI.
language String? null Optional language hint (ISO-639-1 code, e.g. “en”, “de”). When null (default), the current engine falls back to English. For deterministic production output, always set this explicitly.
timestamps Boolean false Whether to request segment-level timestamps. When true, the decoder prompt omits <|notimestamps|> so the model emits <|x.xx|> tokens, and each transcript segment becomes its own paragraph element carrying start_ms / end_ms attributes. When false (default), all segment text is joined into a single flat paragraph with no timing attributes.
maxDurationMs Long? null Hard safety limit on input duration (milliseconds). Files longer than this are rejected after decode, before model work. Default: 30 minutes. Set to null to disable (not recommended for untrusted input).
maxBytes Long? null Hard safety limit on input size (bytes). Default: 512 MiB. Protects against pathological or malicious uploads.
timeoutMs Long? null Wall-clock timeout for the entire transcription operation (ms). Bounds audio decode, model resolution/download, and inference together. On expiry the extraction fails with an XbergError.Transcription. null disables the bound and lets the operation run unbounded (not recommended for untrusted input). Enforced on the async extraction path only; the size and duration caps (max_bytes, max_duration_ms) are checked on every path. Default: 10 minutes.
modelCacheDir Path? null Optional alternate Hugging Face cache root for Whisper models. When unset, hf-hub follows HF_HUB_CACHE, HUGGINGFACE_HUB_CACHE, HF_HOME, XDG, and platform defaults. Files remain in the standard content-addressed snapshot layout and are not copied into an Xberg cache.
allowNetwork Boolean true Allow network access to download models from Hugging Face Hub. When false, only previously cached models may be used. Useful for air-gapped or fully offline deployments.
verifyHash Boolean false Request SHA256 verification of downloaded model files. Defaults to false because the resolver downloads from mutable Hugging Face refs unless callers pin and verify models out-of-band. Explicit true requests are rejected by the model resolver until pinned checksum metadata is available.

Signature:

@JvmStatic
fun default(): TranscriptionConfig

Example:

val result = TranscriptionConfig.default()

Returns: TranscriptionConfig


Translation of the extracted content.

Holds the translated rendition of ExtractedDocument.content and (when preserve_markup was requested) the translated formatted_content. Chunks are translated in place inside ExtractedDocument.chunks[*].content rather than duplicated here.

Field Type Default Description
targetLang String BCP-47 language tag the translation was produced into (e.g. "de", "fr-CA").
sourceLang String? null BCP-47 source language. null when the translation backend was asked to detect.
content String Translated plain-text body. Matches the shape of ExtractedDocument.content.
formattedContent String? null Translated markup body (Markdown / HTML / etc.) when preserve_markup was enabled on the config. null otherwise.

Since: v1.0

Configuration for the translation post-processor.

Field Type Default Description
targetLang String BCP-47 language tag for the target language (e.g. "de", "fr-CA").
sourceLang String? null Optional explicit source language. null asks the backend to auto-detect.
preserveMarkup Boolean /* serde(default) */ Translate the formatted (Markdown/HTML) rendition alongside plain text when formatted_content is present.
llm LlmConfig LLM configuration used for translation.

Configuration for tree-sitter language pack integration.

Controls grammar download behavior and code analysis options.

[tree_sitter]
languages = ["python", "rust"]
groups = ["web"]
[tree_sitter.process]
structure = true
comments = true
docstrings = true
Field Type Default Description
enabled Boolean true Enable code intelligence processing (default: true). When false, tree-sitter analysis is completely skipped even if the config section is present.
cacheDir Path? null Custom cache directory for downloaded grammars. When null, uses the default: ~/.cache/tree-sitter-language-pack/v{version}/libs/. Consumed both by the CLI (tree-sitter download --from-config, cache warm) and by CodeExtractor at extraction time, so that a configured cache directory is honoured wherever grammars are looked up or downloaded, not only during an explicit CLI download.
languages List<String>? null Languages to pre-download on init (e.g., \["python", "rust"\]). Consumed only by the CLI’s tree-sitter download --from-config and cache warm commands as a pre-download hint. Extraction itself does not read this field: a given source file always processes with a single, already auto-detected language, so there is nothing for a language allowlist to gate at extraction time.
groups List<String>? null Language groups to pre-download (e.g., \["web", "systems", "scripting"\]). Consumed only by the CLI’s tree-sitter download --from-config and cache warm commands, for the same reason as languages above.
process TreeSitterProcessConfig Processing options for code analysis.

disableChunking Boolean Disable chunking even for large documents.

Trait for validator plugins.

Validators check extraction results for quality, completeness, or correctness. Unlike post-processors, validator errors fail fast - if a validator returns an error, the extraction fails immediately.

  • Quality Gates: Ensure extracted content meets minimum quality standards
  • Compliance: Verify content meets regulatory requirements
  • Content Filtering: Reject documents containing unwanted content
  • Format Validation: Verify extracted content structure
  • Security Checks: Scan for malicious content

Validator errors are fatal - they cause the extraction to fail and bubble up to the caller. Use validators for hard requirements that must be met.

For non-fatal checks, use post-processors instead.

Validators must be thread-safe (Send + Sync).

Validate an extraction result.

Check the extraction result and return Ok(()) if valid, or an error if validation fails.

Returns:

  • Ok(()) if validation passes
  • Err(...) if validation fails (extraction will fail)

Errors:

  • XbergError.Validation - Validation failed
  • Any other error type appropriate for the failure

Signature:

@Throws(XbergError::class)
fun validate(result: ExtractedDocument, config: ExtractionConfig)

Example:

instance.validate(ExtractedDocument(), ExtractionConfig())

Parameters:

Name Type Required Description
result ExtractedDocument Yes The extraction result to validate
config ExtractionConfig Yes Extraction configuration

Returns: No return value.

Errors: Throws XbergError.

Optional: Check if this validator should run for a given result.

Allows conditional validation based on MIME type, metadata, or content. Defaults to true (always run).

Returns:

true if the validator should run, false to skip.

Signature:

fun shouldValidate(result: ExtractedDocument, config: ExtractionConfig): Boolean

Example:

val result = instance.shouldValidate(ExtractedDocument(), ExtractionConfig())

Parameters:

Name Type Required Description
result ExtractedDocument Yes The extracted document

Returns: Boolean

Optional: Get the validation priority.

Higher priority validators run first. Useful for ordering validation checks (e.g., run cheap validations before expensive ones).

Default priority is 50.

Returns:

Priority value (higher = runs earlier).

Signature:

ONNX Runtime execution provider type.

Determines which hardware backend is used for model inference. Auto (default) selects the best available provider per platform.

Value Description
Auto Auto-select: CoreML on macOS, CUDA on Linux, CPU elsewhere.
Cpu CPU execution provider (always available).
CoreMl Apple CoreML (macOS/iOS Neural Engine + GPU).
Cuda NVIDIA CUDA GPU acceleration.
TensorRt NVIDIA TensorRT (optimized CUDA inference).

Target format for re-encoding extracted images.

Controls whether and how extracted images are normalised to a uniform container format before being returned in ExtractedDocument.images. The default (Native) preserves the format produced by each extractor without any additional encode pass.

Callers that need uniform output — e.g. cloud pipelines that always store WebP thumbnails — set this once on ImageExtractionConfig.output_format rather than re-encoding downstream.

Uses a tagged enum: {"type": "native"}, {"type": "png"}, {"type": "jpeg", "quality": 90}, etc.

Value Description
Native Preserve whatever format the extractor produced (default). No re-encode pass is performed. ExtractedImage.format reflects the source format: JPEG for embedded PDF images, PNG for rasterised content, or the native container format from office documents.
Png Re-encode all extracted images as PNG (lossless).
Jpeg Re-encode all extracted images as JPEG at the given quality level. quality must be in 1..=100. Values outside this range are clamped and a warning is emitted. Higher values produce larger files with less artefacting; 85 is a reasonable default. — Fields: quality: Byte
Webp Re-encode all extracted images as WebP at the given quality level. quality must be in 1..=100. Values outside this range are clamped and a warning is emitted. 80 is a reasonable default. — Fields: quality: Byte
Heif Re-encode all extracted images as HEIF/HEIC at the given quality level. quality must be in 1..=100. Values outside this range are clamped and a warning is emitted. 80 is a reasonable default. The encode path requires the heic feature; on builds without it, selecting this variant returns an EncodeFailed warning and leaves the image untouched. — Fields: quality: Byte
Svg Output pure-vector SVG. Lossless. Raster sources are not re-encoded (a warning is emitted and the image bytes are left untouched). When the source is already SVG, the bytes are passed through the usvg sanitizer (strips external hrefs, JS event handlers, and foreignObject elements) when SvgOptions.sanitize is true. Requires the svg feature.

Source kind for ExtractInput.

Value Description
Bytes Raw in-memory bytes.
Uri A filesystem path, file:// URI, or HTTP(S) URL.

URL extraction mode.

Value Description
Auto Classify HTTP(S) resources after fetch.
Document Treat the URI as a single remote document/page.
Crawl Crawl from the seed URI and extract discovered pages/documents.

Deprecated and inert. Chunking no longer writes a heading breadcrumb into content for either variant of this enum — see the revised design adopted in https://github.com/xberg-io/xberg/issues/1393. Setting this field has no effect on chunking output any more. It is kept only so the ~15 alef-generated binding packages that construct it keep compiling; removing it outright is a separate, coordinated breaking change.

The original design (this enum, plus ChunkingConfig.prepend_heading_context) let Content mode prepend the heading breadcrumb directly into a chunk’s content. GH#1393’s follow-up discussion argued that a single flag on the chunker cannot serve all three retrieval consumers of the same chunk: dense/ embedding retrieval wants the breadcrumb inline, but lexical (BM25/TF-IDF) and sparse learned (SPLADE) retrieval are actively harmed by it — SPLADE worse than BM25, because its term-expansion pulls each heading’s whole learned neighbourhood (e.g. "Authentication"auth, login, credential, oauth) into every chunk of that section, and that damage cannot be corrected by re-indexing since the expansion comes from a pretrained encoder, not the collection being indexed. Mutating content also desynced it from byte_start/byte_end (#1294): chunk.content.len() != byte_end - byte_start whenever a breadcrumb had been prepended, so slicing the source document by a chunk’s own offsets silently returned different text than content.

The revised design removes the mutation entirely: chunk.content now always equals the exact [byte_start, byte_end) source span, regardless of this enum’s value or prepend_heading_context.

Call render_heading_breadcrumb explicitly at index time, with a chunk’s (always-clean) content and its heading_context — only for the consumer that wants the breadcrumb inline (typically dense/embedding). BM25 and SPLADE consumers need no special handling: index chunk.content as returned. See the rag module docs for the full per-consumer guidance.

Value Description
Content Inert (#1393). Previously prepended the heading breadcrumb into chunk content; no longer has any effect — content is left untouched, exactly like Metadata. Kept as the default only for wire/API compatibility.
Metadata Inert (#1393), and was already a no-op on content before this change. Kept only for backward compatibility, since Content is no longer distinguishable from it.

Output format for extraction results.

Controls the format of the content field in ExtractedDocument. When set to Markdown, Djot, or Html, the output uses that format. Plain returns the raw extracted text. Structured is currently a metadata-only label: derive_extraction_result returns null for it (see extraction/derive.rs), so no renderer runs and the content is left exactly as Plain would leave it. Only metadata.output_format differs. It does NOT attach OCR element data, bounding boxes or confidence scores.

Value Description
Plain Plain text content only (default)
Markdown Markdown format
Djot Djot markup format
Html HTML format
Json JSON tree format with heading-driven sections.
Structured Metadata-only label; content is identical to OutputFormat.Plain. No dedicated renderer exists yet, so this attaches no OCR element metadata. See the enum-level docs above.
DocTags Docling DocTags format (tables rendered as OTSL).
Custom Custom renderer registered via the RendererRegistry. The string is the renderer name (e.g., “docx”, “latex”). — Fields: 0: String

Controls how Jupyter notebook code cells are rendered during extraction.

A code cell carries both its source and any outputs that were saved in the notebook. Callers ingesting notebooks for AI agents want different slices of this depending on the task. Xberg never executes cells — Outputs and Both only surface outputs already stored in the .ipynb.

This toggle governs a code cell’s source body and its saved outputs. Markdown (prose) cells and structural markers (kernel language, cell id, tags, execution count) are unaffected — prose always renders and markers orient the reader regardless of mode.

Value Description
Source Render the code source as a fenced code block; omit saved outputs.
Outputs Omit the code source; render only the saved cell outputs.
Both Render both the code source and the saved outputs (default; preserves the historical behavior).

Built-in HTML theme selection.

Value Description
Default Sensible defaults: system font stack, neutral colours, readable line measure. CSS custom properties (--kb-*) are all defined so user CSS can override individual values.
GitHub GitHub Markdown-inspired palette and spacing.
Dark Dark background, light text.
Light Minimal light theme with generous whitespace.
Unstyled No built-in stylesheet emitted. CSS custom properties are still defined on :root so user stylesheets can reference var(--kb-*) tokens.

Late-interaction model types supported by Xberg.

Since v5.0.

Value Description
Preset Use a preset ColBERT model (recommended). — Fields: name: String
Custom Use a custom ColBERT ONNX model from HuggingFace. — Fields: modelId: String, modelFile: String, additionalFiles: List<String>, maxLength: Long
Plugin In-process late-interaction backend registered via the plugin system. — Fields: name: String

Which table structure recognition model to use.

Controls the model used for table cell detection within layout-detected table regions. Wire format is snake_case in all serializers (JSON, TOML, YAML).

Value Description
Tatr TATR (Table Transformer) – default, 30MB, DETR-based row/column detection.
SlanetWired SLANeXT wired variant – 365MB, optimized for bordered tables.
SlanetWireless SLANeXT wireless variant – 365MB, optimized for borderless tables.
SlanetPlus SLANet-plus – 7.78MB, lightweight general-purpose.
SlanetAuto Classifier-routed SLANeXT: auto-select wired/wireless per table. Uses PP-LCNet classifier (6.78MB) + both SLANeXT variants (730MB total).
Disabled Disable table structure model inference entirely; use heuristic path only.

How to resolve overlapping native vs layout (TATR/SLANeXT) tables.

When both native oxide detection and the layout table model produce a table for the same page region, one must be dropped. This controls which one wins. Wire format is snake_case in all serializers (JSON, TOML, YAML).

Value Description
Content Keep whichever table carries more content (cell count + markdown length). This is the historical default. TATR/SLANeXT tables usually recognize more cells and therefore win, which maximizes table-structure F1 but can lower text F1 when the recognized cell reflow diverges from the source reading order.
Native Prefer the native oxide table when it overlaps a layout table. Native tables preserve the source reading order, which scores higher on text F1 for documents where the layout model’s cell reflow diverges from the ground truth.
Layout Prefer the layout (TATR/SLANeXT) table when it overlaps a native table.

Which PDF pages the layout model runs on.

Layout detection renders each selected page to a raster and runs ONNX inference on it, which dominates extraction cost. This controls page selection; LayoutStrategy.Always preserves the historical behavior of running on every page. Wire format is snake_case in all serializers (JSON, TOML, YAML).

Value Description
Always Run layout detection unconditionally on every page.
Auto Pre-screen each page with cheap geometry signals and run the model only on pages likely to benefit (multi-column, table-bearing, figure-heavy, form-like, or rotated pages). Pages the pre-screen skips are processed exactly like pages where the model ran and found no regions. On the OCR path only inference is skipped; page rasters are still produced because OCR consumes them. For non-PDF inputs Auto behaves as LayoutStrategy.Always.

Since: v1.1

Managed credential-provider configuration for OAuth2/STS-based authentication modes liter-llm cannot express via a static api_key. See LlmConfig.credential_provider.

Debug is implemented by hand: CredentialProviderConfig.AzureAd’s client_secret is a credential and must never be printed, matching LlmConfig’s own redaction policy. The other variants carry no secret material — CredentialProviderConfig.VertexOauth2 and CredentialProviderConfig.BedrockWebIdentity reference a file path, never the key or token itself.

Value Description
AzureAd Azure AD OAuth2 client-credentials flow (Azure OpenAI / Azure Cognitive Services). — Fields: tenantId: String, clientId: String, clientSecret: String, scope: String
VertexOauth2 Google Vertex AI OAuth2 via a service-account JSON key file on disk. Points at a file path rather than embedding the key inline: the key file contains an RSA private key — stronger secret material than an API key — and LlmConfig must never carry that directly, matching the credential-handling policy the rest of this module follows. — Fields: serviceAccountKeyFile: String, scope: String
VertexAdc Google Vertex AI Application Default Credentials, resolved from the GCE/GKE/Cloud Run metadata server. Carries no secret material at all. — Fields: scope: String
BedrockWebIdentity AWS STS AssumeRoleWithWebIdentity (EKS IRSA / OIDC federation) for Bedrock. — Fields: roleArn: String, tokenFile: String, sessionName: String, region: String

How a structured-extraction preset is dispatched to the model.

This is the preset-facing call mode (the preferred_call_mode field of a Preset). The structured pipeline has a richer runtime-only decision enum with skip and fallback states; this 3-variant type is the stable, serializable surface presets and bindings depend on.

Value Description
TextOnly Use the extracted text only.
VisionOnly Use rasterized page images only.
TextPlusVision Provide both extracted text and page images to the model.

How partial results from multiple model calls (e.g. per page batch) are combined.

Canonical home for the merge strategy referenced by presets and by the structured pipeline’s post-processing. There is intentionally only one merge type across the crate — do not introduce a second.

Value Description
ObjectMerge Deep-merge JSON objects field by field (later calls fill missing fields).
ArrayConcat Concatenate top-level arrays across calls.
ObjectFirst Keep the first non-empty result; ignore subsequent calls.

NER backend selector.

Value Description
Onnx xberg-gliner ONNX inference. Requires ner-onnx feature. Models download lazily from xberg-io/gliner-models.
Llm liter-llm zero-shot NER via structured-output prompts. Requires ner-llm feature. Useful when domain-specific categories outstrip the ONNX taxonomy.

Policy controlling when VLM (Vision Language Model) OCR is used as a fallback.

This knob is syntactic sugar over the explicit OcrPipelineConfig stage ordering. When vlm_fallback is set and pipeline is null, an equivalent pipeline is synthesised at extraction time:

  • VlmFallbackPolicy.Disabled — no synthesis; single-backend mode (default).

  • VlmFallbackPolicy.OnLowQuality — tries the classical backend first; if the result scores below quality_threshold, tries VLM.

  • VlmFallbackPolicy.Always — skips the classical backend and sends every page to the VLM.

When OcrConfig.pipeline is explicitly set, vlm_fallback is ignored — the explicit pipeline takes precedence.

Errors:

Both OnLowQuality and Always require OcrConfig.vlm_config to be Some. Constructing an OcrConfig with one of these policies but no vlm_config is detected by OcrConfig.validate and will surface as a Validation error at extraction time, not a panic.

Value Description
Disabled No VLM fallback (default). Behaves identically to the pre-policy single-backend mode.
OnLowQuality Try the classical OCR backend first. If the quality score is below quality_threshold, send the page to the VLM. quality_threshold is in the \[0.0, 1.0\] range produced by calculate_quality_score. A value of 0.5 is a reasonable starting point; calibrate with the Stage 0 benchmark harness. — Fields: qualityThreshold: Double
Always Skip the classical OCR backend entirely. Every page is sent to the VLM.

Which pages of a PDF get OCR’d when neither force_ocr nor force_ocr_pages applies.

Value Description
Auto OCR only when the native text layer fails a quality check (default). A scanner’s invisible OCR sidecar passes that check, so scanned pages carrying one are extracted natively. Use OcrStrategy.ScannedPages to OCR them instead.
ScannedPages Additionally OCR every page that looks like a scan. Pages are graded on raster coverage, whether the text layer is invisible or absent, the image codec, and the producer. Pages at or above min_confidence are OCR’d; the rest keep native text and still go through the Auto quality check. Detects that a text layer came from a scanner, not whether it is accurate, so a page carrying a good sidecar is OCR’d too. — Fields: minConfidence: Double

Controls how markdown tables are handled when they exceed the chunk size limit.

Only applies when chunker_type is Markdown.

  • Split - Default behavior: tables are split at row boundaries like any other block element. Continuation chunks contain only data rows without the header, which can break downstream consumers that need column context.

  • RepeatHeader - Prepend the table header (header row + separator row) to every continuation chunk that contains data rows from the same table. Adds a small amount of duplicate text but ensures each chunk is self-contained for extraction, search, and LLM consumption.

Value Description
Split Split tables at row boundaries (default). Continuation chunks have no header.
RepeatHeader Prepend the table header to every chunk that continues a split table.

Type of text chunker to use.

  • Text - Generic text splitter, splits on whitespace and punctuation
  • Markdown - Markdown-aware splitter, preserves formatting and structure
  • Yaml - YAML-aware splitter, creates one chunk per top-level key
  • Semantic - Topic-aware chunker. With an EmbeddingConfig, splits at embedding-based topic shifts tuned by topic_threshold (default 0.75, lower = more splits). Without an embedding, falls back to a structural-boundary heuristic (ALL-CAPS headers, numbered sections, blank-line paragraphs) and merges groups into chunks capped at max_characters (default 1000). topic_threshold has no effect in the fallback path. For best results, pair with an embedding model.
Value Description
Text Generic whitespace- and punctuation-aware text splitter (default).
Markdown Markdown-aware splitter that preserves heading and code-block boundaries.
Yaml YAML-aware splitter that creates one chunk per top-level key.
Semantic Topic-aware chunker that splits at embedding-based topic shifts.

How chunk size is measured.

Defaults to Characters (Unicode character count). When using token-based sizing, chunks are sized by token count according to the specified tokenizer.

Token-based sizing uses HuggingFace tokenizers loaded at runtime, or a tokenizer backend you register yourself. Any tokenizer available on HuggingFace Hub can be used, including OpenAI-compatible tokenizers (e.g., Xenova/gpt-4o, Xenova/cl100k_base). To size chunks with your own tokenizer instead (llama.cpp/GGUF vocabularies, SentencePiece models, custom vocabs), register a TokenizerBackend with register_tokenizer_backend and set model to the registered name.

Value Description
Characters Size measured in Unicode characters (default).
Tokenizer Size measured in tokens from a HuggingFace tokenizer or a registered tokenizer backend. — Fields: model: String, cacheDir: Path

Embedding model types supported by Xberg.

Value Description
Preset Use a preset model configuration (recommended) — Fields: name: String
Custom Use a custom ONNX model from HuggingFace — Fields: modelId: String, dimensions: Long
Llm Provider-hosted embedding model via liter-llm. Uses the model specified in the nested LlmConfig (e.g., "openai/text-embedding-3-small"). — Fields: llm: LlmConfig
Plugin In-process embedding backend registered via the plugin system. The caller registers an EmbeddingBackend once (e.g. a wrapper around an already-loaded llama-cpp-python, sentence-transformers, or tuned ONNX model), then references it by name in config. Xberg calls back into the registered backend during chunking and standalone embed requests — no HuggingFace download, no ONNX Runtime requirement, no HTTP sidecar. When this variant is selected, only the following EmbeddingConfig fields apply: normalize (post-call L2 normalization) and max_embed_duration_secs (dispatcher timeout). Model-loading fields (batch_size, cache_dir, show_download_progress, acceleration) are ignored — the host owns the model lifecycle, so there is no download to report progress for. Semantic chunking falls back to ChunkingConfig.max_characters when this variant is used, since there is no preset to look a chunk-size ceiling up against — size your context window via max_characters directly. See register_embedding_backend. — Fields: name: String

Selects how a local ONNX reranker’s raw output tensor is turned into a score.

  • RerankerHead.CrossEncoder — classic single-logit cross-encoder head: the model emits [batch, 1] (or [batch]) logits; the caller applies sigmoid to get a [0, 1] score. This is the original, unchanged path.

  • RerankerHead.Qwen3Generative — Qwen3 generative-reranker head: the model emits [batch, seq, vocab] logits; the score is P("yes") read from the last token’s logits over the “yes”/“no” vocabulary entries, via a softmax over those two logits. Already a [0, 1] probability — no sigmoid is applied.

Since v5.0.

Value Description
CrossEncoder Single-logit cross-encoder head (sigmoid applied by the caller).
Qwen3Generative Qwen3 generative-reranker head (softmax over yes/no token logits).

Llm Provider-hosted reranker via liter-llm (e.g. Cohere, Jina, Voyage). The model in the nested LlmConfig must be a rerank-capable model ID (e.g. "cohere/rerank-english-v3.0"). — Fields: llm: LlmConfig
Plugin In-process reranker registered via the plugin system. The caller registers a RerankerBackend once (e.g. a wrapper around a sentence-transformers cross-encoder or a provider client), then references it by name in config. Xberg calls back into the registered backend — no HuggingFace download, no ONNX Runtime requirement. When this variant is selected, only max_rerank_duration_secs applies. Model-loading fields (batch_size, cache_dir, show_download_progress, acceleration) are ignored — the host owns the model lifecycle, so there is no download to report progress for. See register_reranker_backend. — Fields: name: String

Code Code (tree-sitter analyzable source). Carries the structural chunks (function, class, and module boundaries) produced by the tree-sitter extractor, consumed by the chunking pipeline to emit structure-aware Chunks instead of falling back to text-based splitting. Wraps CodeMetadata (a named struct) rather than List<CodeChunkInfo> directly: FormatMetadata is internally tagged (#\[serde(tag = "format_type")\]), and serde cannot serialize a tagged newtype variant that wraps a sequence — the tag has no map to live in. Wrapping a struct gives serde a map to hold the tag, and keeps this variant shape consistent with every sibling (Variant(XMetadata)) so the derived OpenAPI discriminator can reference a named component schema. — Fields: 0: CodeMetadata

Discriminates the shape of a CodeDataNode.

Purpose-built mirror of tree_sitter_language_pack.DataNodeKind — kept as an xberg-owned type so binding generators never need to resolve the upstream crate’s types across FFI/language boundaries.

DenseTable A densely formatted or complex table that classical extraction garbles. VLM prompt: extract the table as GitHub-Flavoured Markdown.
ComplexLayout A region whose layout the classical pipeline cannot handle (multi-column insets, heavily annotated forms, mixed text+diagram). VLM prompt: extract all text and structure as markdown, preserving reading order.
Caption A standalone image to be captioned (not extracted as figure markdown). VLM prompt: produce a single-sentence alt-text-style caption suitable for accessibility tooling and downstream indexing. Used by the captioning post-processor to populate ExtractedImage.caption.

Inference backend that an EmbeddingPreset runs on.

Onnx presets require the embeddings feature (ONNX Runtime, not available on WASM/Android x86_64 emulator). Static presets require static-embeddings (pure-Rust model2vec inference, no ORT — the only dense-embedding backend available on no-ort-target).

Defaults to Onnx via #[serde(default)] so every existing preset payload (which predates this field) keeps deserializing without change.
