Python API Reference

Extract content from a single bytes or URI input.

Signature:

def extract(input: ExtractInput, config: ExtractionConfig) -> ExtractionResult

Example:

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

Parameters:

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

Returns: ExtractionResult

Errors: Raises Error.


Extract content from multiple bytes or URI inputs.

Signature:

def extract_batch(inputs: list[ExtractInput], config: ExtractionConfig) -> ExtractionResult

Example:

result = extract_batch([], ExtractionConfig())

Parameters:

Name Type Required Description
inputs list\[ExtractInput\] Yes The inputs
config ExtractionConfig Yes The configuration options

Returns: ExtractionResult

Errors: Raises 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:

def map_url(uri: str, config: UrlExtractionConfig) -> MapResult

Example:

result = map_url("value", UrlExtractionConfig())

Parameters:

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

Returns: MapResult

Errors: Raises 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:

def list_supported_formats() -> list[SupportedFormat]

Example:

result = list_supported_formats()

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:

def ensure_initialized() -> None

Example:

ensure_initialized()

Returns: No return value.

Errors: Raises XbergError.


Clear all embedding backends from the global registry.

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:

def classify_chunks(result: ExtractedDocument, config: ChunkClassificationConfig) -> None

Example:

classify_chunks(ExtractedDocument(), ChunkClassificationConfig())

Parameters:

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

Returns: No return value.

Errors: Raises 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:

def find_unmarked_claims(markdown: str) -> list[str]

Example:

result = find_unmarked_claims("value")

Parameters:

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

Returns: list[str]


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:

def verify_excerpt(excerpt: str, source_text: str) -> bool

Example:

result = verify_excerpt("value", "value")

Parameters:

Name Type Required Description
excerpt str Yes The text snippet to find
source_text str Yes The full source text to search

Returns: bool


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:

def max_sim_score(query: MultiVectorEmbedding, doc: MultiVectorEmbedding) -> float

Example:

result = max_sim_score(MultiVectorEmbedding(), MultiVectorEmbedding())

Parameters:

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

Returns: float


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:

def max_sim_rank(query: MultiVectorEmbedding, docs: list[MultiVectorEmbedding]) -> list[LateInteractionMatch]

Example:

result = max_sim_rank(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:

def doctor(config: ExtractionConfig) -> DoctorReport

Example:

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:

def install_pdf_render_diagnostics() -> bool

Example:

result = install_pdf_render_diagnostics()

Returns: bool


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:

def take_pdf_oxide_render_warnings() -> list[ProcessingWarning]

Example:

result = take_pdf_oxide_render_warnings()

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:

def build_decoder_prompt_tokens(start_of_transcript: int, lang_id: int, transcribe: int, no_timestamps: int, timestamps: bool) -> list[int]

Example:

result = build_decoder_prompt_tokens(42, 42, 42, 42, True)

Parameters:

Name Type Required Description
start_of_transcript int Yes The start of transcript
lang_id int Yes The lang id
transcribe int Yes The transcribe
no_timestamps int Yes The no timestamps
timestamps bool Yes The timestamps

Returns: list[int]


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:

def timestamp_token_to_ms(token_id: int, timestamp_begin_id: int) -> int

Example:

result = timestamp_token_to_ms(42, 42)

Parameters:

Name Type Required Description
token_id int Yes The token id
timestamp_begin_id int Yes The timestamp begin id

Returns: int


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

def max_sim_score(query: MultiVectorEmbedding, doc: MultiVectorEmbedding) -> float

Example:

result = max_sim_score(MultiVectorEmbedding(), MultiVectorEmbedding())

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

Returns: float

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.

proxy ProxyConfig | None None Proxy for browser fetches. Overrides CrawlConfig.proxy when set. Native backend supports http/https only (no SOCKS5).
block_url_patterns list\[str\] \[\] 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.
eval_script str | None None 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.
robots_user_agent str | None None User-agent used when fetching robots.txt. Defaults to BrowserConfig.user_agent (or crawlberg’s default) if unset. Native only.
capture_network_events bool False Capture the full network event stream into the result. Default false (only the document event is captured). Native only.
session_affinity bool 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.

Configuration for the VLM captioning post-processor.

Field Type Default Description
llm LlmConfig LLM configuration used for the VLM call.
prompt str | None None Optional custom caption prompt. None uses the default RegionKind.Caption prompt that ships with crate.llm.region_extractor.
min_image_area 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 int Zero-based row index.
col int Zero-based column index.
from str Value before the change.
to str 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 str The text content of this chunk.
chunk_type 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\[float\] | None None Optional embedding vector for this chunk. Only populated when EmbeddingConfig is provided in chunking configuration. The dimensionality depends on the chosen embedding model.
sparse_embedding SparseEmbedding | None /* serde(default) */ Optional sparse (SPLADE) learned embedding for this chunk. Only populated when sparse-embedding generation is configured for chunking. None 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.
late_interaction MultiVectorEmbedding | None /* serde(default) */ Optional ColBERT-style multi-vector (late-interaction) embedding for this chunk. Only populated when late-interaction embedding generation is configured for chunking. None 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
prompt_template str | None None Minijinja prompt template. Receives {{ definitions }} (rendered label + description list) and {{ chunks }} (a numbered list of chunk texts in the current batch) variables. None 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.
batch_size int 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.
max_concurrency int 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 str Label name returned in ChunkMetadata.classifications.
description str 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.
estimated_time_ms int Estimated processing time for this chunk in milliseconds.

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

Field Type Default Description
byte_start int Byte offset where this chunk starts in the original text (UTF-8 valid boundary).
byte_end int Byte offset where this chunk ends in the original text (UTF-8 valid boundary).
token_count int | None None Number of tokens in this chunk (if available). This is calculated by the embedding model’s tokenizer if embeddings are enabled.
chunk_index int Zero-based index of this chunk in the document.
total_chunks int Total number of chunks in the document.
first_page int | None None First page number this chunk spans (1-indexed). Only populated when page tracking is enabled in extraction configuration.
last_page int | None None 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.
heading_context HeadingContext | None /* serde(default) */ Heading context when using Markdown chunker. Contains the heading hierarchy this chunk falls under. Only populated when ChunkerType.Markdown is used.
heading_path list\[str\] /* 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.
image_indices 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.
node_ids list\[str\] /* 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.
page_spans 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 None).
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
max_characters int 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 int 200 Overlap between chunks (in units determined by sizing). Default: 200
trim bool True Whether to trim whitespace from chunk boundaries. Default: true
chunker_type ChunkerType ChunkerType.TEXT Type of chunker to use (Text or Markdown). Default: Text
embedding EmbeddingConfig | None None Optional embedding configuration for chunk embeddings.
sparse_embedding SparseEmbeddingConfig | None None 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
late_interaction LateInteractionConfig | None None 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 str | None None 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.
prepend_heading_context bool 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
topic_threshold float | None None 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.
table_chunking 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
breadcrumb_target 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 str The raw source text of this chunk.
context_path list\[str\] Hierarchical path of enclosing structural items (e.g. \["MyClass", "my_method"\]).
node_types list\[str\] Tree-sitter node kinds that appear at the top level of this chunk (e.g. "function_definition", "class_definition").
byte_start int Inclusive start byte offset of this chunk in the original source.
byte_end int 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 str Attribute name (e.g. "class", "href").
value str Attribute value as a raw string (quotes stripped).
byte_start int Inclusive start byte offset of the name="value" attribute token.
byte_end int 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 str | None /* serde(default) */ Key, attribute name, tag name, or positional index ("0", "1", …). None at the document root.
value str | None /* serde(default) */ Leaf scalar value, if any. None 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.
byte_start int Inclusive start byte offset of this node in the original source.
byte_end int 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 | None None 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
output_format str "markdown" Output format: "markdown" (default), "plain", "djot".
preprocessing_preset str "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.
remove_navigation bool True Remove navigation elements (nav, breadcrumbs, menus). Default: True.
remove_forms bool True Remove form elements. Default: True.
strip_tags list\[str\] \[\] HTML tag names to strip (render children only, remove the tag wrapper). Default: \["noscript"\].
preserve_tags list\[str\] \[\] HTML tag names to preserve as raw HTML in output.
exclude_selectors list\[str\] \[\] 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", "\[role='complementary'\]"\]
skip_images bool False Skip image elements in output. Default: False.
max_depth int | None None Max DOM traversal depth. Prevents stack overflow on deeply nested HTML.
wrap bool False Enable line wrapping. Default: False.
wrap_width int 80 Wrap width when wrap is enabled. Default: 80.
include_document_structure bool 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 None on ExtractionConfig, each extractor uses its current default behavior unchanged.

Field Type Default Description
include_headers bool 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).
include_footers bool 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).
include_footnotes bool 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.
strip_repeating_text bool 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.
include_watermarks bool False Include watermark text in extraction output. - PDF: Keeps watermark artifacts and arXiv identifiers. - Other formats: No effect currently. Default: False (watermarks are stripped).

JATS contributor with role.

Field Type Default Description
name str Contributor display name.

Main conversion options for HTML to Markdown conversion.

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

Field Type Default Description
heading_style HeadingStyle HeadingStyle.ATX Heading style to use in Markdown output (ATX # or Setext underline).
list_indent_type ListIndentType ListIndentType.SPACES How to indent nested list items (spaces or tab).
list_indent_width int 2 Number of spaces (or tabs) to use for each level of list indentation.
bullets str "-*+" Bullet character(s) to use for unordered list items (e.g. "-", "*").
strong_em_symbol str "*" Character used for bold/italic emphasis markers (* or _).
escape_asterisks bool False Escape * characters in plain text to avoid unintended bold/italic.
escape_underscores bool False Escape _ characters in plain text to avoid unintended bold/italic.
escape_misc bool False Escape miscellaneous Markdown metacharacters (\[\]()# etc.) in plain text.
escape_ascii bool False Escape ASCII characters that have special meaning in certain Markdown dialects.
code_language str "" Default language annotation for fenced code blocks that have no language hint.
autolinks bool True Automatically convert bare URLs into Markdown autolinks.
default_title bool False Emit a default title when no <title> tag is present.
br_in_tables bool False Render <br> elements inside table cells as literal line breaks.
compact_tables bool 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).
highlight_style HighlightStyle HighlightStyle.DOUBLE_EQUAL Style used for <mark> / highlighted text (e.g. ==text==).
extract_metadata bool 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.
whitespace_mode 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.
strip_newlines bool False Strip all newlines from the output, producing a single-line result.
wrap bool False Wrap long lines at wrap_width characters.
wrap_width int 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.
convert_as_inline bool False Treat the entire document as inline content (no block-level wrappers).
sub_symbol str "" Markdown notation for subscript text (e.g. "~").
sup_symbol str "" Markdown notation for superscript text (e.g. "^").
newline_style NewlineStyle NewlineStyle.SPACES How to encode hard line breaks (<br>) in Markdown.
code_block_style CodeBlockStyle CodeBlockStyle.BACKTICKS Style used for fenced code blocks (backticks or tilde).
keep_inline_images_in list\[str\] \[\] 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 str "utf-8" Expected character encoding of the input HTML (default "utf-8").
debug bool False Emit debug information during conversion.
strip_tags list\[str\] \[\] HTML tag names whose content is stripped from the output entirely.
preserve_tags list\[str\] \[\] HTML tag names that are preserved verbatim in the output.
skip_images bool False Skip conversion of <img> elements (omit images from output).
url_escape_style 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.
link_style LinkStyle LinkStyle.INLINE Link rendering style (inline or reference).
max_image_size int 5242880 Maximum decoded image size in bytes (default 5MB).
capture_svg bool False Capture SVG elements as images.
infer_dimensions bool True Infer image dimensions from data.
max_depth int | None None Maximum DOM traversal depth. None 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.
exclude_selectors list\[str\] \[\] 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", "\[role='complementary'\]"\]

Dublin Core metadata from docProps/core.xml

max_pages int | None None Maximum number of pages to crawl.
max_concurrent int | None None Maximum number of concurrent requests.
respect_robots_txt bool False Whether to respect robots.txt directives.
soft_http_errors bool 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.
user_agent str | None None Custom user-agent string.
stay_on_domain bool False Whether to restrict crawling to the same domain.
allow_subdomains bool False Whether to allow subdomains when stay_on_domain is true.
include_paths list\[str\] \[\] Regex patterns for paths to include during crawling.
exclude_paths list\[str\] \[\] Regex patterns for paths to exclude during crawling.
custom_headers dict\[str, str\] {} Custom HTTP headers to send with each request.
request_timeout float 30000ms Timeout for individual HTTP requests (in milliseconds when serialized).
rate_limit_ms int | None None Per-domain rate limit in milliseconds. When set, enforces a minimum delay between requests to the same domain. Defaults to 200ms when None.
max_redirects int 10 Maximum number of redirects to follow.
retry_count int 0 Number of retry attempts for failed requests.
retry_codes list\[int\] \[\] HTTP status codes that should trigger a retry.
cookies_enabled bool False Whether to enable cookie handling.

asset_types list\[AssetCategory\] \[\] Filter for asset categories to download.
max_asset_size int | None None Maximum size in bytes for individual asset downloads.
browser BrowserConfig Browser configuration.
proxy ProxyConfig | None None Proxy configuration for HTTP requests.
user_agents list\[str\] \[\] List of user-agent strings for rotation. If non-empty, overrides user_agent.
capture_screenshot bool False Whether to capture a screenshot when using the browser.
follow_document_urls bool 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).
document_url_depth int | None None Maximum document-depth (from the seed URL through document links only) when follow_document_urls is true. None 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.
download_documents bool True Whether to download non-HTML documents (PDF, DOCX, images, code, etc.) instead of skipping them.
document_max_size int | None 52428800 Maximum size in bytes for document downloads. Defaults to 50 MB.
document_mime_types list\[str\] \[\] Allowlist of MIME types to download. If empty, uses built-in defaults.
warc_output str | None None Path to write WARC output. If None, WARC output is disabled.
browser_profile str | None None Named browser profile for persistent sessions (cookies, localStorage).
save_browser_profile bool 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 str | None None Field delimiter, as a single-character string (e.g. ",", ";", "\t", "|"). When None (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.
comment_prefixes list\[str\] \[\] 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
row_count int Total number of data rows (excluding the header row if present).
column_count int Number of columns detected.
delimiter str | None None Field delimiter character (e.g. "," or "\t").
has_header bool Whether the first row was treated as a header.
column_types list\[str\] | None \[\] Inferred data type for each column (e.g. "string", "integer", "float").

dBASE field information.

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

dBASE (DBF) file metadata.

Field Type Default Description
record_count int Total number of data records in the DBF file.
field_count int Number of field (column) definitions.
fields list\[DbfFieldInfo\] \[\] Descriptor for each field in the table schema.

MIME type detection response.

Field Type Default Description
mime_type str Detected MIME type
filename str | None None Original filename (if provided)

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

Field Type Default Description
page_width int Page width in pixels (as seen by the model).
page_height 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
from_line int Starting line number in the old content (0-indexed).
from_count int Number of lines from the old content in this hunk.
to_line int Starting line number in the new content (0-indexed).
to_count int Number of lines from the new content in this hunk.
lines list\[DiffLine\] Lines that make up this hunk.

Options controlling how two ExtractedDocument values are compared.

Field Type Default Description
include_metadata bool True Include metadata changes in the diff. Default: True.
include_embedded bool True Include embedded-children changes in the diff. Default: True.
max_content_chars int | None None Truncate content to this many characters before diffing. Useful for very large documents where only the first N characters matter. None means no truncation.

Example:

result = DoctorCheck.warn("value", "value")

Parameters:

Name Type Required Description
name str Yes The name
message str Yes The message

Returns: DoctorCheck

A ProbeStatus.Fail verdict: the configured setup will not work (or will silently degrade) on this host.

Signature:

Example:

result = DoctorCheck.fail("value", "value")

Parameters:

Name Type Required Description
name str Yes The name
message str Yes The message

Aggregate doctor report over all configured backends and settings.

Field Type Default Description
checks list\[DoctorCheck\] \[\] Individual check verdicts, in execution order.

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

Signature:

def is_ok(self) -> bool

Example:

result = instance.is_ok()

Returns: bool


Detected document boundary within a PDF.

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

def extract(self, input: ExtractInput, config: ExtractionConfig) -> ExtractedDocument

Example:

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: Raises 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:

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:

def priority(self) -> int

Example:

result = instance.priority()

Returns: int

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

Allows for more sophisticated detection beyond MIME types. Defaults to True (rely on MIME type matching).

Returns:

True if the extractor can handle this file, False otherwise.

Signature:

def can_handle(self, path: str, mime_type: str) -> bool

Example:

result = instance.can_handle("value", "value")

Parameters:

Name Type Required Description
path str Yes The path
mime_type str Yes The mime type

Returns: bool


Metadata about a document for analysis.

Field Type Default Description
mime_type str MIME type of the document.
size_bytes int File size in bytes.
page_count int | None None Page count (if known, e.g., from previous analysis).
force_ocr bool Whether OCR is forced regardless of text layer.
user_chunk_config UserChunkConfig | None None User-provided chunk configuration overrides.
chunking_enabled bool 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 str /* 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 | None None Parent node index (None = root-level node).
children list\[int\] /* serde(default) */ Child node indices in reading order.
content_layer 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 | None None Page number where this node starts (1-indexed).
page_end int | None None Page number where this node ends (for multi-page tables/sections).
bbox BoundingBox | None None 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 dict\[str, str\] | None None 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
revision_id str 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 str | None None Display name of the author who made this change, when available.
timestamp str | None None 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 | None None Best-effort document location for this revision. Resolution is format-dependent and may be None 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.
source_format str | None None 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.
node_types list\[str\] \[\] 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:

def finalize_node_types(self) -> None

Example:

instance.finalize_node_types()

Returns: No return value.

Check if the document structure is empty.

Signature:

def is_empty(self) -> bool

Example:

result = instance.is_empty()

Returns: bool

Signature:

@staticmethod
def default() -> DocumentStructure

Example:

result = DocumentStructure.default()

Returns: DocumentStructure

Configuration for email extraction.

Field Type Default Description
msg_fallback_codepage int | None None Windows codepage number to use when an MSG file contains no codepage property. Defaults to None, 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:

def dimensions(self) -> int

Example:

result = instance.dimensions()

Returns: int

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:

def embed(self, texts: list[str]) -> list[list[float]]

Example:

result = instance.embed([])

Parameters:

Name Type Required Description
texts list\[str\] Yes The texts

Returns: list[list[float]]

Errors: Raises 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 bool True Whether to normalize embedding vectors (recommended for cosine similarity)
batch_size int 32 Batch size for embedding generation
show_download_progress bool 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.
cache_dir str | None None 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 | None None Hardware acceleration for the embedding ONNX model. When set, controls which execution provider (CPU, CUDA, CoreML, TensorRT) is used for inference. Defaults to None (auto-select per platform).
max_embed_duration_secs int | None 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. None disables the timeout. The default (60 seconds) is conservative for common in-process inference; increase for large batches on slow hardware.
max_sequence_length int | None None 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. None 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:

@staticmethod
def default() -> EmbeddingConfig

Example:

result = EmbeddingConfig.default()

Returns: EmbeddingConfig

Contains all sheets from an Excel file (.xlsx, .xls, etc.) with extracted content and metadata.

Field Type Default Description
sheets list\[ExcelSheet\] All sheets in the workbook
metadata dict\[str, str\] Workbook-level metadata (author, creation date, etc.)
revisions list\[DocumentRevision\] | None /* serde(default) */ Collaborative-edit revision headers from xl/revisions/revisionHeaders.xml. Populated for legacy shared-workbook .xlsx files that contain the xl/revisions/ directory. Each <header> element maps to one DocumentRevision { kind: FormatChange } carrying the header’s guid (→ revision_id), userName (→ author), and dateTime (→ timestamp). anchor and delta are None/empty for v1 (per-cell log parsing is a follow-up). None when xl/revisions/revisionHeaders.xml is absent.

detected_language_confidences list\[LanguageConfidence\] | None \[\] Structured per-language detection results: confidence, document share, script, and reliability, alongside the ISO-code-only detected_languages (#261). One entry per language in detected_languages, in the same order. None under the same conditions as detected_languages: detection disabled, empty input text, or no language met the configured min_confidence.
chunks list\[Chunk\] | None \[\] Text chunks when chunking is enabled. When chunking configuration is provided, the content is split into overlapping chunks for efficient processing. Each chunk contains the text, optional embeddings (if enabled), and metadata about its position.
images list\[ExtractedImage\] | None \[\] Extracted images from the document. When image extraction is enabled via ImageExtractionConfig, this field contains all images found in the document with their raw data and metadata. Each image may optionally contain a nested ocr_result if OCR was performed.
pages list\[PageContent\] | None \[\] Per-page content when page extraction is enabled. When page extraction is configured, the document is split into per-page content with tables and images mapped to their respective pages.
elements list\[Element\] | None \[\] Semantic elements when element-based result format is enabled. When result_format is set to ElementBased, this field contains semantic elements with type classification, unique identifiers, and metadata for Unstructured-compatible element-based processing.
djot_content DjotContent | None None Rich Djot content structure (when extracting Djot documents). When extracting Djot documents with structured extraction enabled, this field contains the full semantic structure including: - Block-level elements with nesting - Inline formatting with attributes - Links, images, footnotes - Math expressions - Complete attribute information The content field still contains plain text for backward compatibility. Always None for non-Djot documents.
ocr_elements list\[OcrElement\] | None \[\] OCR elements with full spatial and confidence metadata. When OCR is performed with element extraction enabled, this field contains the structured representation of detected text including: - Bounding geometry (rectangles or quadrilaterals) - Confidence scores (detection and recognition) - Rotation information - Hierarchical relationships (Tesseract only) This field preserves all metadata that would otherwise be lost when converting to plain text or markdown output formats. Only populated when OcrElementConfig.include_elements is true.
document DocumentStructure | None None Structured document tree (when document structure extraction is enabled). When include_document_structure is true in ExtractionConfig, this field contains the full hierarchical representation of the document including: - Heading-driven section nesting - Table grids with cell-level metadata - Content layer classification (body, header, footer, footnote) - Inline text annotations (formatting, links) - Bounding boxes and page numbers Independent of result_format — can be combined with Unified or ElementBased.
extracted_keywords list\[Keyword\] | None \[\] Extracted keywords when keyword extraction is enabled. When keyword extraction (RAKE or YAKE) is configured, this field contains the extracted keywords with scores, algorithm info, and position data. Previously stored in metadata.additional\["keywords"\].

children list\[ArchiveEntry\] | None \[\] Nested extraction results from archive contents. When extracting archives, each processable file inside produces its own full extraction result. Set to None for non-archive formats. Use max_archive_depth in config to control recursion depth.
uris list\[ExtractedUri\] | None \[\] URIs/links discovered during document extraction. Contains hyperlinks, image references, citations, email addresses, and other URI-like references found in the document. Always extracted when present in the source document.
revisions list\[DocumentRevision\] | None \[\] 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 None 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.
structured_output dict\[str, Any\] | None None 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.
code_intelligence dict\[str, Any\] | None None Code intelligence results from tree-sitter analysis. Populated when extracting source code files with the tree-sitter feature. 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.
llm_usage list\[LlmUsage\] | None \[\] 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. None when no LLM was used.
entities list\[Entity\] | None \[\] Named entities detected in content by the NER post-processor. None when no NER backend is configured. Populated by the xberg-gliner ONNX backend or the LLM-driven backend (see crates/xberg/src/text/ner/).
summary DocumentSummary | None None Summary of content produced by the summarisation post-processor. None when summarisation is not configured. Populated by the TextRank extractive backend (deterministic, no external service) or by the liter-llm-driven abstractive backend.
extraction_confidence ExtractionConfidence | None None Confidence score computed by the heuristics pipeline. Populated when the heuristics feature is enabled and confidence scoring has been performed. Combines text-coverage, OCR aggregate confidence, and schema-compliance into a single \[0, 1\] value. None when confidence scoring is not configured or the feature is absent.
translation Translation | None None Translation of content produced by the translation post-processor. None when translation is not configured.
page_classifications list\[PageClassification\] | None \[\] Per-page classifications produced by the page-classification post-processor. None when classification is not configured.
redaction_report RedactionReport | None None 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. None 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.
form_fields list\[PdfFormField\] \[\] Form fields extracted from a PDF’s AcroForm or XFA structure. Populated by the PDF extractor when PdfConfig.extract_form_fields is enabled (default) and the document is a fillable form. Empty otherwise.

is_mask bool Whether this image is a mask image
description str | None None Optional description of the image
ocr_result ExtractedDocument | None None Nested OCR extraction result (if image was OCRed) When OCR is performed on this image, the result is embedded here rather than in a separate collection, making the relationship explicit.
bounding_box BoundingBox | None None Bounding box of the image on the page (PDF coordinates: x0=left, y0=bottom, x1=right, y1=top). Only populated for PDF-extracted images when position data is available from the PDF extractor.
source_path str | None None Original source path of the image within the document archive (e.g., “media/image1.png” in DOCX). Used for rendering image references when the binary data is not extracted.
image_kind ImageKind | None None Heuristic classification of what this image likely depicts. None if classification was disabled or inconclusive.
kind_confidence float | None None Confidence score for image_kind, in the range 0.0 to 1.0.
cluster_id int | None None Identifier shared across images that form a single logical figure (e.g. all raster tiles of one technical drawing). None for singletons.
caption str | None None VLM-generated caption describing the image, when captioning is configured. Populated by the captioning post-processor (crates/xberg/src/plugins/processor/builtin/captioning.rs), which routes each image through crate.llm.region_extractor.extract_region_with_vlm in caption mode. None when captioning is disabled or the VLM declined to caption.
qr_codes list\[QrCode\] | None \[\] QR codes decoded from this image, when QR detection is enabled. Populated by the QR post-processor (crates/xberg/src/extractors/qr.rs) via the pure-Rust rqrr decoder. None when QR detection is disabled; an empty Some(\[\]) when detection ran but found nothing.
data_base64 str | None None Base64-encoded copy of data; populated when ImageExtractionConfig.include_data_base64 is True. Omitted from JSON by default; use instead of data in JSON-only clients.

A URI extracted from a document.

Represents any link, reference, or resource pointer found during extraction. The kind field classifies the URI semantically, while label carries optional human-readable display text.

Field Type Default Description
url str The URL or path string.
label str | None None Optional display text / label for the link.
page int | None None Optional page number where the URI was found (1-indexed).
kind UriKind Semantic classification of the URI.

Combined confidence on [0, 1].

When OCR did not run, the ocr_aggregate weight folds into text_coverage so the weighted sum still totals 1.0.

Field Type Default Description
text_coverage float Fraction of pages with a usable text layer.
ocr_aggregate float | None None Mean OCR per-element recognition confidence when OCR ran; None when it did not.
schema_compliance SchemaCompliance Whether the merged output validates against the preset schema.
combined float Weighted blend in \[0, 1\]. The value compared against the fallback threshold.

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
use_cache bool True Enable caching of extraction results
enable_quality_processing bool True Enable quality post-processing
ocr OcrConfig | None None OCR configuration. None 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.
force_ocr bool False Force OCR even for searchable PDFs
ocr_strategy 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.
force_ocr_pages list\[int\] | None None 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.
disable_ocr bool 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 | None None Text chunking configuration (None = chunking disabled)
content_filter ContentFilterConfig | None None 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 | None None Image extraction configuration (None = no image extraction)
pdf_options PdfConfig | None None PDF-specific options (None = use defaults)
token_reduction TokenReductionOptions | None None Token reduction configuration (None = no token reduction)
language_detection LanguageDetectionConfig | None None Language detection configuration (None = no language detection)
pages PageConfig | None None Page extraction configuration (None = no page tracking)
keywords KeywordConfig | None None Keyword extraction configuration (None = no keyword extraction)
postprocessor PostProcessorConfig | None None Post-processor configuration (None = use defaults)
html_options ConversionOptions | None None 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.
html_output HtmlOutputConfig | None None 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 None, the existing plain comrak-based HTML renderer is used.
extraction_timeout_secs int | None None 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 None to disable the timeout for trusted input or long-running workloads.
max_concurrent_extractions int | None None 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.
result_format 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).
security_limits SecurityLimits | None None 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 None, default limits are used.
max_embedded_file_bytes int | None None 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 None to disable the per-embedded-file cap (falls back to security_limits.max_archive_size as the only guard).
output_format 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.
escape_markdown bool 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.
table_anchors bool 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.
jupyter_cell_rendering 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 | None None 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 | None None 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: None (transcription disabled). This is an additive, non-breaking change.
use_layout_for_markdown bool 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.
include_document_structure bool 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 | None None Hardware acceleration configuration for ONNX Runtime models. Controls execution provider selection for layout detection and embedding models. When None, uses platform defaults (CoreML on macOS, CUDA on Linux, CPU on Windows).
cache_namespace str | None None 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.
cache_ttl_secs int | None None 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 None, the global TTL applies.
email EmailConfig | None None 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 | None None 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.
max_archive_depth int Maximum recursion depth for archive extraction (default: 3). Set to 0 to disable recursive extraction (legacy behavior).
tree_sitter TreeSitterConfig | None None 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.
structured_extraction StructuredExtractionConfig | None None 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 | None None Named-entity recognition configuration. When set, the NER post-processor runs at the Middle stage and populates ExtractedDocument.entities.
redaction RedactionConfig | None None 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 | None None Summarisation configuration. When set, the summarisation post-processor runs at the Middle stage and populates ExtractedDocument.summary.
translation TranslationConfig | None None Translation configuration. When set, the translation post-processor runs at the Middle stage and populates ExtractedDocument.translation.
page_classification PageClassificationConfig | None None Per-page classification configuration. When set, the classification post-processor runs at the Middle stage and populates ExtractedDocument.page_classifications.
chunk_classification ChunkClassificationConfig | None None 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 | None None 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.
qr_codes bool | None None Enable QR-code detection in extracted images. When True, the QR post-processor runs at the Middle stage and populates ExtractedImage.qr_codes.

Signature:

@staticmethod
def default() -> ExtractionConfig

Example:

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:

def validate(self) -> None

Example:

instance.validate()

Returns: No return value.

Errors: Raises 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:

def needs_image_data(self) -> bool

Example:

result = instance.needs_image_data()

Returns: bool

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:

def needs_image_processing(self) -> bool

Example:

result = instance.needs_image_processing()

Returns: bool


The complete diff between two ExtractedDocument values.

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

metadata_changed dict\[str, Any\] Metadata difference, encoded as a JSON object with three top-level keys: added (keys present in b but not a), removed (keys present in a but not b), and changed (keys whose values differ — each entry is { "from": <value-in-a>, "to": <value-in-b> }). This is NOT RFC 6902 JSON Patch — we deliberately chose a flatter shape to avoid pulling in a json-patch crate. If you need RFC 6902 semantics (with JSON Pointer paths) feed a.metadata and b.metadata to your preferred json-patch impl directly.
embedded_changes EmbeddedChanges Changes to embedded archive children.

A mathematical formula detected and recognized in a document.

Populated by the layout-guided formula pipeline: regions classified as LayoutClass.Formula are routed to the formula OCR task, which returns the LaTeX source for the region. The field is always present on ExtractedDocument but only populated when the layout-detection feature is active and the document contains formula regions.

Field Type Default Description
latex str LaTeX source of the recognized formula, without surrounding $$ delimiters. This field contains the raw LaTeX code as produced by the OCR backend. To render the formula in Markdown or other formats, wrap with $$..$$ delimiters as needed.
bbox BoundingBox Bounding box of the formula region on its page, in rendered-image pixel coordinates. The coordinates are in the space of the OCR-rendered page image at the OCR DPI (typically 300 DPI). These coordinates are NOT comparable to bounding boxes from native PDF text extraction, which use PDF point coordinates.

Configuration for document chunking and analysis heuristics.

Every threshold is a public field so callers can override any subset via struct-update syntax: HeuristicsConfig { text_layer_threshold: 0.5, ..the default constructor }.

Field Type Default Description
enable_pdf_text_heuristics bool True Enable PDF text-layer detection heuristics. When True, PDFs with a substantial text layer will skip chunking. Default: True.

min_chars_per_page int 50 Minimum characters per page to consider a page as having text. Default: 50.
max_xlsx_sheet_count int 200 Maximum sheet count allowed in an XLSX workbook. Workbooks beyond this are rejected pre-extraction to avoid OOM / abusive billing inflation. Default: 200.
max_xlsx_workbook_cells int 5000000 Maximum cell count (sheets × rows × columns approximation) in an XLSX workbook. Default: 5 000 000 (≈ 200 sheets × 25 k cells).
max_pptx_embedded_count int 50 Maximum number of OLE-embedded objects extractable from a single PPTX or DOCX. Protects against zip-bomb-style nested-document abuse. Default: 50.

css str | None None Inline CSS string injected into the output after the theme stylesheet. Concatenated after css_file content when both are set.
css_file str | None None Path to a CSS file loaded once at renderer construction time. Concatenated before css when both are set.
theme HtmlTheme HtmlTheme.UNSTYLED Built-in colour/typography theme. Default: HtmlTheme.Unstyled.
class_prefix str CSS class prefix applied to every emitted class name. Default: "kb-". Change this if your host application already uses classes that start with kb-.
embed_css bool True When True (default), write the resolved CSS into a <style> block immediately after the opening <div class="{prefix}doc">. Set to False to emit only the structural markup and wire up your own stylesheet targeting the kb-* class names.

Image extraction configuration.

Field Type Default Description
extract_images bool True Extract images from documents
target_dpi int 300 Target DPI for image normalization
max_image_dimension int 4096 Maximum dimension for images (width or height)
inject_placeholders bool 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.
auto_adjust_dpi bool True Automatically adjust DPI based on image content
min_dpi int 72 Minimum DPI threshold
max_dpi int 600 Maximum DPI threshold
max_images_per_page int | None None 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. None (default) means no limit — all images are extracted.
classify bool 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.
include_page_rasters bool 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).
run_ocr_on_images bool 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.
ocr_text_only bool 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.
append_ocr_text bool False When True and ocr_text_only is False, append the OCR text after the image placeholder in the rendered output.
output_format 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.
include_data_base64 bool 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.

Image preprocessing configuration for OCR.

These settings control how images are preprocessed before OCR to improve text recognition quality. Different preprocessing strategies work better for different document types.

Field Type Default Description
target_dpi int 300 Target DPI for the image (300 is standard, 600 for small text).
auto_rotate bool False Auto-detect and correct image rotation.
deskew bool True Correct skew (tilted images).
denoise bool False Remove noise from the image.
contrast_enhance bool False Enhance contrast for better text visibility.
binarization_method str "otsu" Binarization method: “otsu”, “sauvola”, “adaptive”.
invert_colors bool False Invert colors (white text on black → black on white).

Signature:

Image preprocessing metadata.

Tracks the transformations applied to an image during OCR preprocessing, including DPI normalization, resizing, and resampling.

Field Type Default Description
target_dpi int Target DPI from configuration
scale_factor float Scaling factor applied to the image
auto_adjusted bool Whether DPI was auto-adjusted based on content
final_dpi int Final DPI after processing
resample_method str Resampling algorithm used (“LANCZOS3”, “CATMULLROM”, etc.)

calculated_dpi int | None None Calculated optimal DPI (if auto_adjust_dpi enabled)
skipped_resize bool Whether resize was skipped (dimensions already optimal)
resize_error str | None None Error message if resize failed

Extracted keyword with metadata.

Field Type Default Description

Keyword extraction configuration.

Field Type Default Description
algorithm KeywordAlgorithm KeywordAlgorithm.YAKE Algorithm to use for extraction.
max_keywords int 10 Maximum number of keywords to extract (default: 10).
min_score float 0 Minimum score threshold (0.0-1.0, default: 0.0). Keywords with scores below this threshold are filtered out. Note: Score ranges differ between algorithms.

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 str ISO 639-3 language code, matching the corresponding entry in detected_languages.
confidence float 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 float 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 str Writing system whatlang detected for this language (e.g. "Latin", "Cyrillic").
reliable bool 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 bool True Enable language detection
min_confidence float 0.8 Minimum confidence threshold (0.0-1.0)
detect_multiple bool 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).
batch_size int 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.
max_length int Maximum token sequence length for the tokenizer (documents).
query_max_length int 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.
show_download_progress bool 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.
cache_dir str | None None 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 | None None Hardware acceleration for the late-interaction ONNX model.
max_embed_duration_secs int | None None Maximum wall-clock duration (in seconds) for a single embed call when using LateInteractionModelType.Plugin. None disables the timeout.

Signature:

@staticmethod
def default() -> LateInteractionConfig

Example:

result = LateInteractionConfig.default()

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 int 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 str Stable preset name referenced from config.
model_repo str HuggingFace repository hosting the ONNX model.
model_file str Path to the ONNX file within the repo.
additional_files list\[str\] Sibling files that must be downloaded alongside model_file.
max_length int Maximum document token sequence length.
query_max_length int Fixed padded query length (ColBERT query augmentation).
dim int Per-token embedding dimensionality.
description str Human-readable description.

A single layout detection result.

Field Type Default Description
class_name 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.
confidence_threshold float | None None Confidence threshold override (None = use model default).
apply_heuristics bool True Whether to apply postprocessing heuristics (default: true).
table_model 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.
table_overlap_preference 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 | None None 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 None (auto-select per platform).
enable_chart_understanding bool 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:

@staticmethod
def default() -> LayoutDetectionConfig

Example:

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
class_name str Layout class name (e.g. “picture”, “table”, “text”, “section_header”).
confidence float Confidence score from the layout detection model (0.0 to 1.0).
bounding_box BoundingBox Bounding box in document coordinate space.
area_fraction float Fraction of the page area covered by this region (0.0 to 1.0).

Link element metadata.

Field Type Default Description
href str The href URL value
text str Link text content (normalized)
title str | None None Optional title attribute
link_type LinkType Link type classification
rel list\[str\] Rel attribute values

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
global_limit float | None None Global spend limit in USD.
model_limits dict\[str, float\] | None {} Per-model spend limits in USD, keyed by model name.
enforcement str | None None 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
max_entries int | None None Maximum number of cached entries.
ttl_seconds int | None None Cache entry time-to-live, in seconds.
backend str | None None Cache backend name (e.g. "memory", or an opendal scheme).
backend_config dict\[str, str\] | None {} 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 str Provider/model string using liter-llm routing format. Examples: "openai/gpt-4o", "anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-20250514", "groq/llama-3.1-70b-versatile".
api_key str | None None API key for the provider. When None, liter-llm falls back to the provider’s standard environment variable (e.g., OPENAI_API_KEY).
base_url str | None None Custom base URL override for the provider endpoint.
timeout_secs int | None None Request timeout in seconds. When None, 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.
max_retries int | None None Maximum retry attempts (default: 3).
temperature float | None None Sampling temperature for generation tasks.
max_tokens int | None None Maximum tokens to generate.
top_p float | None None 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\[str\] | None \[\] 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 int | None None 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.
presence_penalty float | None None 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.
frequency_penalty float | None None 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.
reasoning_effort str | None None 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.
extra_body dict\[str, Any\] | None None 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.
load_env bool | None None Whether liter-llm should load provider credentials from environment variables. Mirrors liter-llm’s ClientConfigBuilder.load_env. When None, liter-llm’s own default behavior applies.
headers dict\[str, str\] | None {} 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\[LlmProviderConfig\] | None \[\] 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 | None None 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 | None None 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.
rate_limit LlmRateLimitConfig | None None 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.
cost_tracking bool | None None 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 bool | None None 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.
cooldown_secs int | None None 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.
health_check_secs int | None None 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 | None None AWS Bedrock settings (region, cross-region routing, explicit credentials). Only consulted for bedrock/-prefixed models. When None — or when an individual field inside it is None — liter-llm falls back to the standard AWS environment variables and the default credential chain.
credential_provider CredentialProviderConfig | None None 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.

Signature:

def validate(self) -> None

Example:

instance.validate()

Returns: No return value.

Errors: Raises Error.


Since: v1.1

A custom provider configuration entry, in addition to liter-llm’s built-in providers.

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.

num_tokens 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:

def is_well_formed(self) -> bool

Example:

result = instance.is_well_formed()

Returns: bool


Input signals for multi-document boundary detection.

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

Signature:

@staticmethod
def default() -> MultidocThresholds

Example:

result = MultidocThresholds.default()

Returns: MultidocThresholds


Since: v1.0

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 str | None None Override the default model — only used by NerBackendKind.Onnx. None lets the backend pick its pinned default xberg GLiNER model alias.
llm LlmConfig | None None Optional LLM configuration — only used by NerBackendKind.Llm. Token usage for LLM backends is recorded in ExtractedDocument.llm_usage.
custom_labels list\[str\] \[\] 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:

def process_image(self, image_bytes: bytes, config: OcrConfig) -> ExtractedDocument

Example:

result = instance.process_image(b"data", OcrConfig())

Parameters:

Name Type Required Description
image_bytes bytes Yes Raw image data (JPEG, PNG, TIFF, etc.)
config OcrConfig Yes OCR configuration (language, PSM mode, etc.)

Returns: ExtractedDocument

Errors: Raises 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:

def process_image_file(self, path: str, config: OcrConfig) -> ExtractedDocument

Example:

result = instance.process_image_file("value", OcrConfig())

Parameters:

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

Returns: ExtractedDocument

Errors: Raises XbergError.

Check if this backend supports a given language code.

Returns:

True if the language is supported, False otherwise.

Signature:

def supports_language(self, lang: str) -> bool

Example:

result = instance.supports_language("value")

Parameters:

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

Returns: bool

Get the backend type identifier.

Returns:

The backend type enum value.

Signature:

def backend_type(self) -> OcrBackendType

Example:

result = instance.backend_type()

Returns: OcrBackendType

Optional: Get a list of all supported languages.

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

Signature:

def supported_languages(self) -> list[str]

Example:

result = instance.supported_languages()

Returns: list[str]

Optional: Check if the backend supports table detection.

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

Signature:

def supports_table_detection(self) -> bool

Example:

result = instance.supports_table_detection()

Returns: bool

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:

def supports_document_processing(self) -> bool

Example:

result = instance.supports_document_processing()

Returns: bool

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:

def emits_structured_markdown(self) -> bool

Example:

result = instance.emits_structured_markdown()

Returns: bool

Process a document file directly via OCR.

Only called if supports_document_processing returns True.

Signature:

def process_document(self, path: str, config: OcrConfig) -> ExtractedDocument

Example:

result = instance.process_document("value", OcrConfig())

Parameters:

Name Type Required Description
path str Yes The path
config OcrConfig Yes The ocr config

Returns: ExtractedDocument

Errors: Raises XbergError.


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 float | None None 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 float Recognition confidence: how confident about the text content. Range: 0.0 to 1.0.

OCR configuration.

Field Type Default Description
enabled bool 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 str 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\[str\] \[\] 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”).
tesseract_config TesseractConfig | None None Tesseract-specific configuration (optional)
output_format OutputFormat | None None Output format for OCR results (optional, for format conversion)
paddle_ocr_config dict\[str, Any\] | None None 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).
backend_options dict\[str, Any\] | None None 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 None, 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 }
element_config OcrElementConfig | None None OCR element extraction configuration
quality_thresholds OcrQualityThresholds | None None Quality thresholds for the native-text-to-OCR fallback decision. When None, uses compiled defaults (matching previous hardcoded behavior).
pipeline OcrPipelineConfig | None None 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).
auto_rotate bool 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.
vlm_fallback VlmFallbackPolicy VlmFallbackPolicy.DISABLED Ergonomic VLM fallback policy. When set to anything other than VlmFallbackPolicy.Disabled and OcrConfig.pipeline is None, 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.
vlm_config LlmConfig | None None 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.
vlm_prompt str | None None Custom Jinja2 prompt template for VLM OCR. When None, uses the default template. Available variables: - {{ language }} — The document language code (e.g., “eng”, “deu”).
acceleration AccelerationConfig | None None 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.
tessdata_bytes dict\[str, bytes\] | None None 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.
tessdata_path str | None None 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 None, uses the standard resolution chain: TESSDATA_PREFIX env, cache dir, system paths.

Signature:

@staticmethod
def default() -> OcrConfig

Example:

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 str 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 | None None Rotation information (if detected).
page_number int Page number (1-indexed).
parent_id str | None None Parent element ID for hierarchical relationships. Only used for Tesseract output which has word -> line -> block hierarchy.
backend_metadata dict\[str, dict\[str, Any\]\] {} 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
include_elements bool Whether to include OCR elements in the extraction result. When true, the ocr_elements field in ExtractedDocument will be populated.
min_level OcrElementLevel OcrElementLevel.LINE Minimum hierarchical level to include. Elements below this level (e.g., words when min_level is Line) will be excluded.
min_confidence float Minimum recognition confidence threshold (0.0-1.0). Elements with confidence below this threshold will be filtered out.
build_hierarchy bool 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 str Recognized text content
mime_type str Original MIME type of the processed image
metadata dict\[str, dict\[str, Any\]\] {} OCR processing metadata (confidence scores, language, etc.)
tables list\[OcrTable\] \[\] Tables detected and extracted via OCR
ocr_elements list\[OcrElement\] | None \[\] 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 str OCR language code(s) used
psm int Tesseract Page Segmentation Mode (PSM)
output_format str Output format (e.g., “text”, “hocr”)
table_count int Number of tables detected
table_rows int | None None Number of rows in the detected table (if a single table was found).
table_cols int | None None 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.
quality_thresholds 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 str 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\[str\] | None /* 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”).
tesseract_config TesseractConfig | None /* serde(default) */ Tesseract-specific config override for this stage.
paddle_ocr_config dict\[str, Any\] | None /* serde(default) */ PaddleOCR-specific config for this stage.
vlm_config LlmConfig | None /* serde(default) */ VLM config override for this pipeline stage.
backend_options dict\[str, Any\] | None /* 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
min_total_non_whitespace int 64 Minimum total non-whitespace characters to consider text substantive.
min_non_whitespace_per_page float 32 Minimum non-whitespace characters per page on average.
min_meaningful_word_len int 4 Minimum character count for a word to be “meaningful”.
min_meaningful_words int 3 Minimum count of meaningful words before text is accepted.
min_alnum_ratio float 0.3 Minimum alphanumeric ratio (non-whitespace chars that are alphanumeric).
min_garbage_chars int 5 Minimum Unicode replacement characters (U+FFFD) to trigger OCR fallback.
max_fragmented_word_ratio float 0.6 Maximum fraction of short (1-2 char) words before text is considered fragmented.
critical_fragmented_word_ratio float 0.8 Critical fragmentation threshold — triggers OCR regardless of meaningful words. Normal English text has ~20-30% short words. 80%+ is definitive garbage.
min_avg_word_length float 2 Minimum average word length. Below this with enough words indicates garbled extraction.
min_words_for_avg_length_check int 50 Minimum word count before average word length check applies.
min_consecutive_repeat_ratio float 0.08 Minimum consecutive word repetition ratio to detect column scrambling.
min_words_for_repeat_check int 50 Minimum word count before consecutive repetition check is applied.
substantive_min_chars int 100 Minimum character count for “substantive markdown” OCR skip gate.
non_text_min_chars int 20 Minimum character count for “non-text content” OCR skip gate.
alnum_ws_ratio_threshold float 0.4 Alphanumeric+whitespace ratio threshold for skip decisions.
pipeline_min_quality float 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.
min_undecodable_ratio float 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.
enable_provenance_ocr_routing bool 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.
min_provenance_fallback_ratio float 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:

@staticmethod
def default() -> OcrQualityThresholds

Example:

result = OcrQualityThresholds.default()

Returns: OcrQualityThresholds


Rotation information for an OCR element.

Field Type Default Description

confidence float | None None Confidence score for the rotation detection.

Table detected via OCR.

Represents a table structure recognized during OCR processing.

Field Type Default Description
cells list\[list\[str\]\] Table cells as a 2D vector (rows × columns)
markdown str Markdown representation of the table
page_number int Page number where the table was found (1-indexed)
bounding_box OcrTableBoundingBox | None /* 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 str Language code (e.g., “en”, “ch”, “jpn”, “kor”, “deu”, “fra”)
cache_dir str | None None 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.
use_angle_cls bool Enable angle classification for rotated text (default: false). Can misfire on short text regions, rotating crops incorrectly before recognition.
enable_table_detection bool Enable table structure detection (default: false)
det_db_thresh float Database threshold for text detection (default: 0.3) Range: 0.0-1.0, higher values require more confident detections
det_db_box_thresh float Box threshold for text bounding box refinement (default: 0.5) Range: 0.0-1.0
det_db_unclip_ratio float Unclip ratio for expanding text bounding boxes (default: 1.6) Controls the expansion of detected text regions
det_limit_side_len int Maximum side length for detection image (default: 1024) Larger images may be resized to this limit for faster inference
rec_batch_num 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.
drop_score 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
model_tier str 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".
model_version str 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.
inference_backend PaddleInferenceBackend | None None Explicit inference engine choice. None (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.

Byte offset boundary for a page.

Tracks where a specific page’s content starts and ends in the main content string, enabling mapping from byte positions to page numbers. Offsets are guaranteed to be at valid UTF-8 character boundaries when using standard String methods (push_str, push, etc.).

Field Type Default Description
byte_start int Byte offset where this page starts in the content string (UTF-8 valid boundary, inclusive)
byte_end int Byte offset where this page ends in the content string (UTF-8 valid boundary, exclusive)
page_number int Page number (1-indexed)

Classification result for a single page.

labels list\[ClassificationLabel\] Labels assigned to the page. Single-label classification yields exactly one entry; multi-label classification yields any subset of the configured label set.

Since: v1.0

Configuration for the page-classification post-processor.

  • 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
page_number int Page number (1-indexed)
content str 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.
image_indices 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 | None None Hierarchy information for the page (when hierarchy extraction is enabled) Contains text hierarchy levels (H1-H6) extracted from the page content.
is_blank bool | None None 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.
layout_regions list\[LayoutRegion\] | None None 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.
speaker_notes str | None None 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.
section_name str | None None 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.
sheet_name str | None None 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. None 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
block_count 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 str | None None Page title (usually for presentations)
image_count int | None None Number of images on this page
table_count int | None None Number of tables on this page
hidden bool | None None Whether this page is hidden (e.g., in presentations)
is_blank bool | None None 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.
has_vector_graphics bool /* 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; None 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:

def page_count(self) -> int

Example:

result = instance.page_count()

Returns: int


Per-page signals extracted from PDF content.

Field Type Default Description
page_number int 1-indexed page number.
text_excerpt str First ~500 characters of extracted text.
starts_with_letterhead_like bool True if page starts with letterhead-like content (ALL CAPS line in first 5 lines or a logo-image bbox at top).
has_page_number_one_marker bool True if text contains “Page 1” or “1 of N” pattern.
has_signature_block bool True if text contains signature indicators (“Sincerely”, “Signed”) or a signature image bbox.
layout_text_density 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.

Signature:

@staticmethod
def from_page_text(page_number: int, text: str, layout_text_density: float) -> PageSignals

Example:

result = PageSignals.from_page_text(42, "value", 0.5)

Parameters:

Name Type Required Description
page_number int Yes The page number
text str Yes The text
layout_text_density float Yes The layout text density

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

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
total_count int Total number of pages/slides/sheets
unit_type PageUnitType Type of paginated unit

Field Type Default Description
start int Inclusive byte-offset start of the match in the source text.
end int Exclusive byte-offset end of the match.
category PiiCategory Category the match belongs to.
text str 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
annotation_type PdfAnnotationType The type of annotation.
content str | None None Text content of the annotation (e.g., comment text, link URL).
page_number int Page number where the annotation appears (1-indexed).
bounding_box BoundingBox | None None Bounding box of the annotation on the page.
author str | None /* serde(default) */ Author/creator of the annotation (PDF /T entry).
modified str | None /* serde(default) */ Last modification date of the annotation (PDF /M entry), as a raw PDF date string (e.g. "D:20240115120000Z").
color str | None /* 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 str | None /* serde(default) */ Subject of the annotation (PDF /Subj entry).
quad_points list\[BoundingBox\] | None /* 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.
marked_text str | None /* 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
extract_images bool False Extract images from PDF
extract_tables bool 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\[str\] | None None List of passwords to try when opening encrypted PDFs
extract_metadata bool True Extract PDF metadata
hierarchy HierarchyConfig | None None Hierarchy extraction configuration (None = hierarchy extraction disabled)
extract_annotations bool False Extract PDF annotations (text notes, highlights, links, stamps). Default: false
top_margin_fraction float | None None Top margin fraction (0.0–1.0) of page height to exclude headers/running heads. Default: 0.06 (6%)
bottom_margin_fraction float | None None Bottom margin fraction (0.0–1.0) of page height to exclude footers/page numbers. Default: 0.05 (5%)
allow_single_column_tables bool 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.
ocr_inline_images bool 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 None 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.
extract_form_fields bool 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.
reading_order bool 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:

@staticmethod
def default() -> PdfConfig

Example:

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 str Partial field name (the leaf name within the field hierarchy).
full_name str Fully-qualified field name (dotted path from the form root).
field_type FormFieldType Classified field type.
value str | None /* serde(default) */ Current field value, if any.
default_value str | None /* serde(default) */ Default field value, if any.
flags int /* serde(default) */ Raw field-flags bitmask (read-only, required, multiline, …).
page int | None /* serde(default) */ 1-indexed page the field’s widget appears on. Currently always None for AcroForm fields; page assignment is a deferred enhancement requiring spatial analysis of widget annotations per page.
bbox BoundingBox | None /* serde(default) */ Widget bounding box on its page, if known.
max_length int | None /* serde(default) */ Maximum input length for text fields, if specified.
tooltip str | None /* serde(default) */ Tooltip / alternate field description, if present.

page_count int | None None Total number of pages in the PDF document
scanned_confidence float | None None How strongly the document’s most scan-like page resembles a scan, in \[0.0, 1.0\]. None 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.
scanned_pages list\[int\] | None \[\] Pages that look like scans (1-indexed), using the default confidence threshold. None when the document could not be inspected; empty when no page qualifies.
layout_gated_pages list\[int\] | None \[\] Pages the auto layout strategy skipped (1-indexed). None unless layout detection ran with LayoutStrategy.Auto; empty when the gate selected every page.
layout_gate_reasons list\[str\] | None \[\] 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). None 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:

def name(self) -> str

Example:

result = instance.name()

Returns: str

Returns the semantic version of this plugin.

Should follow semver format: MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH

Defaults to the xberg crate version.

Signature:

def version(self) -> str

Example:

result = instance.version()

Returns: str

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:

def initialize(self) -> None

Example:

instance.initialize()

Returns: No return value.

Errors: Raises 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:

def shutdown(self) -> None

Example:

instance.shutdown()

Returns: No return value.

Errors: Raises XbergError.

Optional plugin description for debugging and logging.

Defaults to empty string if not overridden.

Signature:

def description(self) -> str

Example:

result = instance.description()

Returns: str

Optional plugin author information.

Defaults to empty string if not overridden.

Signature:

def author(self) -> str

Example:

result = instance.author()

Returns: str


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:

def process(self, result: ExtractedDocument, config: ExtractionConfig) -> None

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: Raises 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:

def processing_stage(self) -> ProcessingStage

Example:

result = instance.processing_stage()

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:

def should_process(self, result: ExtractedDocument, config: ExtractionConfig) -> bool

Example:

result = instance.should_process(ExtractedDocument(), ExtractionConfig())

Parameters:

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

Returns: bool

Optional: Estimate processing time in milliseconds.

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

Returns:

Estimated processing time in milliseconds.

Signature:

def estimated_duration_ms(self, result: ExtractedDocument) -> int

Example:

result = instance.estimated_duration_ms(ExtractedDocument())

Parameters:

Name Type Required Description
result ExtractedDocument Yes The extracted document

Returns: int

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:

def priority(self) -> int

Example:

result = instance.priority()

Returns: int

Example:

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
detection_bbox BBox Detection bbox that this table corresponds to (for matching).
cells list\[list\[str\]\] Table cells as a 2D vector (rows × columns).
markdown str 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 | None None Optional NER backend — required to redact PERSON / ORGANIZATION / LOCATION categories (the pure-Rust pattern engine only covers regex-detectable PII).
preserve_offsets bool 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.
custom_terms 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.
custom_patterns 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:

@staticmethod
def default() -> RedactionConfig

Example:

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:

def validate(self) -> None

Example:

instance.validate()

Returns: No return value.

Errors: Raises 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).
replacement_token str 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 str Custom category label surfaced in RedactionFinding.category.
pattern str Regex pattern (Rust regex crate dialect — no look-around).
case_sensitive bool 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:

@staticmethod
def labeled(label: str, pattern: str) -> RedactionPattern

Example:

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

Parameters:

Name Type Required Description
label str Yes The label
pattern str 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.
total_redacted 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 str Custom category label surfaced in RedactionFinding.category.
value str Literal value to match. Regex metacharacters are escaped automatically.
case_sensitive bool 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:

@staticmethod
def literal(value: str) -> RedactionTerm

Example:

result = RedactionTerm.literal("value")

Parameters:

Name Type Required Description
value str Yes The value

Returns: RedactionTerm

Build a term with a custom label.

Signature:

@staticmethod
def labeled(label: str, value: str) -> RedactionTerm

Example:

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

Parameters:

Name Type Required Description
label str Yes The label
value str 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:

@staticmethod
def load_embedded() -> Registry

Example:

result = Registry.load_embedded()

Returns: Registry

Errors: Raises 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:

@staticmethod
def global() -> Registry

Example:

result = Registry.global()

Returns: Registry

Look up a preset by its identifier.

Signature:

def get(self, id: str) -> Preset | None

Example:

result = instance.get("value")

Parameters:

Name Type Required Description
id str Yes The id

Returns: Preset | None

Materialize a PresetSummary list for the public registry endpoint.

Signature:

def summaries(self) -> list[PresetSummary]

Example:

result = instance.summaries()

Returns: list[PresetSummary]

Number of presets currently loaded.

Signature:

def len(self) -> int

Example:

result = instance.len()

Returns: int

Whether the registry contains zero presets.

Signature:

def is_empty(self) -> bool

Example:

result = instance.is_empty()

Returns: bool

Read raw sample bytes for <preset_id> from library/<id>/samples/<name>. Returns None when the file is absent.

Signature:

def sample_bytes(self, preset_id: str, name: str) -> bytes | None

Example:

result = instance.sample_bytes("value", "value")

Parameters:

Name Type Required Description
preset_id str Yes The preset id
name str Yes The name

Returns: bytes | None

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:

def extend_from_dir(self, dir: str) -> int

Example:

result = instance.extend_from_dir("value")

Parameters:

Name Type Required Description
dir str Yes The dir

Returns: int

Errors: Raises 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:

def render_result(self, result: ExtractedDocument) -> str

Example:

result = instance.render_result(ExtractedDocument())

Parameters:

Name Type Required Description
result ExtractedDocument Yes The extracted document

Returns: str

Errors: Raises 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 int 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 str 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:

def rerank(self, query: str, documents: list[str]) -> list[float]

Example:

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

Parameters:

Name Type Required Description
query str Yes The query
documents list\[str\] Yes The documents

Returns: list[float]

Errors: Raises 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).
top_k int | None None Return at most this many documents. None returns all. Applied after sorting by score, so the highest-scoring documents are kept.
batch_size int 32 Batch size for local ONNX cross-encoder inference.
show_download_progress bool 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.
cache_dir str | None None 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 | None None Hardware acceleration for the reranker ONNX model. Controls which execution provider (CPU, CUDA, CoreML, TensorRT) is used for local inference. Defaults to None (auto-select per platform).
max_rerank_duration_secs int | None 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. None disables the timeout. The default (60 seconds) is conservative for common in-process inference; increase for large document sets on slow hardware.

Signature:

@staticmethod
def default() -> RerankerConfig

Example:

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

version str Source preset version.
fingerprint str Fingerprint of the source preset file, used as a cache token.
schema_name str Schema name forwarded to the LLM.
schema dict\[str, Any\] Effective JSON Schema (caller override or the preset’s own).
system_prompt str System prompt with rendered context appended.
merge_mode MergeMode Merge strategy for paginated outputs.
preferred_call_mode CallMode Preferred call mode.
emit_citations bool 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.
table_changes list\[CellChange\] \[\] Cell-level table changes for this revision.
property_changes list\[PropertyChange\] \[\] Formatting or metadata property changes for this revision.

Configuration for security limits across extractors.

All limits are intentionally conservative to prevent DoS attacks while still supporting legitimate documents.

max_nesting_depth int 1024 Maximum nesting depth for structures (100)
max_entity_length int 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.
max_content_size int 104857600 Maximum string growth per document (100 MB)
max_iterations int 10000000 Maximum iterations per operation
max_xml_depth int 1024 Maximum XML depth (100 levels)
max_table_cells int 100000 Maximum cells per table (100,000)

Signature:

@staticmethod
def default() -> SecurityLimits

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

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).
batch_size int Batch size for local ONNX inference. SPLADE emits a \[seq, vocab\] logit tensor per document, so memory scales with batch size — keep this modest.
max_length int Maximum token sequence length for the tokenizer.
show_download_progress bool 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.

text_fields list\[str\] JSON paths of fields that were classified as text-bearing.
value dict\[str, Any\] | None None The parsed document as a canonical serde_json.Value tree, when the source format could be represented as one. None 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\[str\] 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

schema_name str serde(default = "default_schema_name") Schema name passed to the LLM’s structured output mode.
schema_description str | None /* serde(default) */ Optional schema description for the LLM.
strict bool /* serde(default) */ Enable strict mode — output must exactly match the schema.

Used via ImageExtractionConfig.svg.

Field Type Default Description
sanitize bool 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.
render_dpi 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:

@staticmethod
def default() -> SvgOptions

Example:

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\[str\]\] \[\] Table cells as a 2D vector (rows × columns)
markdown str Markdown representation of the table
page_number int Page number where the table was found (1-indexed)
bounding_box BoundingBox | None None 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.
table_id str | None None 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\[\]. None 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\[str\] | None \[\] 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. None 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 str Cell content as text
row_span int Row span (number of rows this cell spans)

is_header bool Whether this is a header cell

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

Field Type Default Description
from_index int Zero-based index of the table in both a.tables and b.tables.
to_index int Zero-based index in b.tables (equal to from_index for same-dimension tables).
cell_changes 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\[str\] \[\] 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

tessedit_dont_blkrej_good_wds bool True Don’t reject good words during block-level processing
tessedit_dont_rowrej_good_wds bool True Don’t reject good words during row-level processing
tessedit_enable_dict_correction bool True Enable dictionary correction

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:

def count_tokens(self, text: str) -> int

Example:

result = instance.count_tokens("value")

Parameters:

Name Type Required Description
text str Yes The text

Returns: int


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 bool 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 str | None None Optional language hint (ISO-639-1 code, e.g. “en”, “de”). When None (default), the current engine falls back to English. For deterministic production output, always set this explicitly.
timestamps bool 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.
max_duration_ms int | None None Hard safety limit on input duration (milliseconds). Files longer than this are rejected after decode, before model work. Default: 30 minutes. Set to None to disable (not recommended for untrusted input).
max_bytes int | None None Hard safety limit on input size (bytes). Default: 512 MiB. Protects against pathological or malicious uploads.
timeout_ms int | None None 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. None 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.
model_cache_dir str | None None 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.
allow_network bool 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.
verify_hash bool 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.

def default() -> TranscriptionConfig

Example:

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
target_lang str BCP-47 language tag the translation was produced into (e.g. "de", "fr-CA").
source_lang str | None None BCP-47 source language. None when the translation backend was asked to detect.
content str Translated plain-text body. Matches the shape of ExtractedDocument.content.
formatted_content str | None None Translated markup body (Markdown / HTML / etc.) when preserve_markup was enabled on the config. None otherwise.

Since: v1.0

Configuration for the translation post-processor.

Field Type Default Description
target_lang str BCP-47 language tag for the target language (e.g. "de", "fr-CA").
source_lang str | None None Optional explicit source language. None asks the backend to auto-detect.
preserve_markup bool /* 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 bool True Enable code intelligence processing (default: true). When False, tree-sitter analysis is completely skipped even if the config section is present.
cache_dir str | None None Custom cache directory for downloaded grammars. When None, 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\[str\] | None None 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\[str\] | None None 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.

Signature:

pages_per_chunk int | None None User-specified pages per chunk (overrides automatic calculation).
force_chunking bool Force chunking even for small documents.
disable_chunking bool 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:

def validate(self, result: ExtractedDocument, config: ExtractionConfig) -> None

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: Raises 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:

def should_validate(self, result: ExtractedDocument, config: ExtractionConfig) -> bool

Example:

result = instance.should_validate(ExtractedDocument(), ExtractionConfig())

Parameters:

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

Returns: bool

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:

def priority(self) -> int

Example:

result = instance.priority()

Returns: int

XML metadata extracted during XML parsing.

Provides statistics about XML document structure.

Field Type Default Description

Field Type Default Description
min int | None None Earliest (minimum) year in the range.
max int | None None Latest (maximum) year in the range.
years list\[int\] /* serde(default) */ All individual years present in the collection.

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).
CORE_ML Apple CoreML (macOS/iOS Neural Engine + GPU).
CUDA NVIDIA CUDA GPU acceleration.
TENSOR_RT 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: int
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: int
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: int
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 None 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.
DOC_TAGS 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: str

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.
GIT_HUB 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: str
CUSTOM Use a custom ColBERT ONNX model from HuggingFace. — Fields: model_id: str, model_file: str, additional_files: list\[str\], max_length: int
PLUGIN In-process late-interaction backend registered via the plugin system. — Fields: name: str

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.
SLANET_WIRED SLANeXT wired variant – 365MB, optimized for bordered tables.
SLANET_WIRELESS SLANeXT wireless variant – 365MB, optimized for borderless tables.
SLANET_PLUS SLANet-plus – 7.78MB, lightweight general-purpose.
SLANET_AUTO 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
AZURE_AD Azure AD OAuth2 client-credentials flow (Azure OpenAI / Azure Cognitive Services). — Fields: tenant_id: str, client_id: str, client_secret: str, scope: str
VERTEX_OAUTH2 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: service_account_key_file: str, scope: str
VERTEX_ADC Google Vertex AI Application Default Credentials, resolved from the GCE/GKE/Cloud Run metadata server. Carries no secret material at all. — Fields: scope: str
BEDROCK_WEB_IDENTITY AWS STS AssumeRoleWithWebIdentity (EKS IRSA / OIDC federation) for Bedrock. — Fields: role_arn: str, token_file: str, session_name: str, region: str

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
TEXT_ONLY Use the extracted text only.
VISION_ONLY Use rasterized page images only.
TEXT_PLUS_VISION 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
OBJECT_MERGE Deep-merge JSON objects field by field (later calls fill missing fields).
ARRAY_CONCAT Concatenate top-level arrays across calls.
OBJECT_FIRST 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 None, 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.
ON_LOW_QUALITY 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: quality_threshold: float
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.
SCANNED_PAGES 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: min_confidence: float

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.
REPEAT_HEADER 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: str, cache_dir: str

Embedding model types supported by Xberg.

Value Description
PRESET Use a preset model configuration (recommended) — Fields: name: str
CUSTOM Use a custom ONNX model from HuggingFace — Fields: model_id: str, dimensions: int
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: str

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
CROSS_ENCODER Single-logit cross-encoder head (sigmoid applied by the caller).
QWEN3_GENERATIVE Qwen3 generative-reranker head (softmax over yes/no token logits).

Reranker model types supported by Xberg.

PRESET Use a preset cross-encoder model (recommended). — Fields: name: str
CUSTOM Use a custom ONNX cross-encoder from HuggingFace. — Fields: model_id: str, model_file: str, additional_files: list\[str\], max_length: int, head: RerankerHead
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: str

Sparse-embedding model types supported by Xberg.

AUDIO Metadata extracted from an audio or video file. — Fields: 0: AudioMetadata
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.

Main error type for all Xberg operations.

All errors in Xberg use this enum, which preserves error chains and provides context for debugging.

  • Io - File system and I/O errors (always bubble up)
  • Parsing - Document parsing errors (corrupt files, unsupported features)
  • Ocr - OCR processing errors
  • Validation - Input validation errors (invalid paths, config, parameters)
  • Cache - Cache operation errors (non-fatal, can be ignored)
  • ImageProcessing - Image manipulation errors
  • Serialization - JSON/MessagePack serialization errors
  • MissingDependency - Missing optional dependencies (tesseract, etc.)
  • Plugin - Plugin-specific errors
  • LockPoisoned - Mutex/RwLock poisoning (should not happen in normal operation)
  • UnsupportedFormat - Unsupported MIME type or file format
  • Other - Catch-all for uncommon errors

LockPoisoned(XbergError) An internal Mutex or RwLock was found in a poisoned state.
UnsupportedFormat(XbergError) The document’s MIME type is not supported by any registered extractor.
Embedding(XbergError) The embedding model or embedding pipeline returned an error.
Reranking(XbergError) The reranker model or reranking pipeline returned an error. Since v5.0.
Transcription(XbergError) Audio/video transcription failed.
Timeout(XbergError) The extraction operation exceeded the configured time limit.
Cancelled(XbergError) The extraction was cancelled via a CancellationToken.
Security(XbergError) A security policy was violated (e.g. zip bomb, oversized archive).
Other(XbergError) A catch-all for uncommon errors that do not fit another variant.

Errors that can occur during heuristics analysis.

Base class: HeuristicsError(Exception)

Exception Description
ConfigError(HeuristicsError) Invalid configuration value.
PdfAnalysisError(HeuristicsError) PDF analysis step failed (only when heuristics-pdf feature is active).

Errors produced while loading or validating a preset file.

Base class: LoadError(Exception)

Exception Description
Parse(LoadError) The file is not valid JSON.
SchemaValidation(LoadError) The file parses as JSON but does not validate against the meta-schema.
Deserialize(LoadError) The file validates but cannot be deserialized into Preset.
IdMismatch(LoadError) The preset’s declared id does not match its file-system location.
BadMetaSchema(LoadError) The meta-schema itself failed to compile.
Io(LoadError) A filesystem I/O error occurred while reading a preset directory.

Errors produced while resolving a preset against caller overrides.

Base class: ResolveError(Exception)

Exception Description
SchemaNotObject(ResolveError) A custom schema override was supplied but is not a JSON object.
