Project description

quiz-gen

Python 3.10+ License: MIT PyPI version GitHub last commit Downloads

AI-powered quiz generator for regulatory, certification, and educational documentation. Extract structured content from complex legal and technical documents to create comprehensive learning materials.

Features

  • EUR-Lex Document Parser: Parse and structure European Union legal documents with full table of contents extraction
  • Hierarchical Document Analysis: Automatically identify document structure including chapters, sections, articles, and recitals
  • Intelligent Chunking: Extract meaningful content chunks at appropriate granularity levels (articles and recitals)
  • Table of Contents Generation: Build complete document navigation structure with 3-level hierarchy
  • Regulatory Document Support: Specialized parsing for aviation regulations, directives, and other technical documentation

Installation

pip install quiz-gen

Quick Start

Parsing EUR-Lex Documents

from quiz_gen import EURLexParser

# Parse a regulation document
url = "https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/HTML/?uri=OJ:L_202401689"
parser = EURLexParser(url=url)
chunks, toc = parser.parse()

# Access structured content
print(f"Extracted {len(chunks)} content chunks")
print(f"Document has {len(toc['sections'])} major sections")

# Save results
parser.save_chunks('output_chunks.json')
parser.save_toc('output_toc.json')

Document Structure

The parser extracts documents into a multi-level hierarchy:

Level 1: Major Sections

  • Preamble
  • Enacting Terms

Level 2/3: Structural Divisions

  • Chapters
  • Sections

Level 1/2/3/4: Content Elements

  • Title
  • Citation
  • Recitals
  • Articles
  • Concluding formulas
  • Annex
  • Appendix

Working with Chunks

# Iterate through extracted chunks
for chunk in chunks:
    print(f"{chunk.title}")
    print(f"Type: {chunk.section_type.value}")
    print(f"Number: {chunk.number}")
    print(f"Content: {chunk.content[:200]}...")
    print(f"Hierarchy: {' > '.join(chunk.hierarchy_path)}")
    print()

Displaying Table of Contents

# Print formatted TOC
parser.print_toc()

# Output:
# PREAMBLE
#   Citation 
#   Recital 1
#   Recital 2
#   ...
# 
# ENACTING TERMS
#   CHAPTER I - PRINCIPLES
#     Article 1 - Subject matter and objectives
#     Article 2 - Scope

Use Cases

Compliance and Legal

  • Analyze regulatory requirements systematically
  • Track changes across document versions
  • Build searchable knowledge bases from legal texts

Documentation Processing

  • Convert unstructured documents into structured data
  • Build citation networks and cross-references
  • Support automated document analysis workflows

Education and Training

  • Generate study materials from regulatory documents
  • Create structured learning paths for certification programs
  • Extract key concepts for examination preparation

Supported Document Types

Currently supports:

  • EUR-Lex HTML Documents: European Union regulations, directives, decisions
  • Legislative Acts: Structured legal documents with formal hierarchies

Document Format Requirements

  • Documents must use EUR-Lex HTML format
  • Must contain eli-subdivision elements for proper structure identification
  • Supports multi-level hierarchies with chapters, sections, and articles

Advanced Usage

Custom Parsing Workflows

from quiz_gen import EURLexParser

parser = EURLexParser(url=document_url)

# Parse specific sections
parser._parse_preamble()  # Extract citations and recitals
parser._parse_enacting_terms()  # Extract chapters and articles
parser._parse_annexes()  # Extract annexes

# Access intermediate results
toc = parser.toc  # Full table of contents
chunks = parser.chunks  # Content chunks only

Filtering Chunks by Type

from quiz_gen import SectionType

# Get only recitals
recitals = [c for c in chunks if c.section_type == SectionType.RECITAL]

# Get only articles
articles = [c for c in chunks if c.section_type == SectionType.ARTICLE]

# Filter by chapter
chapter_1_articles = [
    c for c in articles 
    if 'CHAPTER I' in ' > '.join(c.hierarchy_path)
]

Accessing Metadata

for chunk in chunks:
    # Access structured metadata
    print(chunk.metadata)  # {'id': 'art_1', 'subtitle': '...'}
    
    # Navigate hierarchy
    print(chunk.hierarchy_path)  # ['CHAPTER I - PRINCIPLES', 'Article 1']
    
    # Identify parent sections
    print(chunk.parent_section)
