Convert raw documents into AI-understandable context with intelligent text extraction, table detection, and semantic chunking

Project description

xgen-doc2chunk

xgen-doc2chunk is a document processing library that converts raw documents into AI-understandable context. It analyzes, restructures, and normalizes content so that language models can reason over documents with higher accuracy and consistency.

Features

  • Multi-format Support: Process a wide variety of document formats including:

    • PDF (with table detection, OCR fallback, and complex layout handling)
    • Microsoft Office: DOCX, DOC, PPTX, PPT, XLSX, XLS
    • Korean documents: HWP, HWPX (Hangul Word Processor)
    • Text formats: TXT, MD, RTF, CSV, HTML
    • Code files: Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, and 20+ languages
  • Intelligent Text Extraction:

    • Preserves document structure (headings, paragraphs, lists)
    • Extracts tables as HTML with proper rowspan/colspan handling
    • Handles merged cells and complex table layouts
    • Extracts and processes inline images
  • OCR Integration:

    • Pluggable OCR engine architecture
    • Supports OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, and vLLM backends
    • Automatic OCR fallback for scanned documents or image-based PDFs
  • Smart Chunking:

    • Semantic text chunking with configurable size and overlap
    • Table-aware chunking that preserves table integrity
    • Protected regions for code blocks and special content
  • Metadata Extraction:

    • Extracts document metadata (title, author, creation date, etc.)
    • Formats metadata in a structured, parseable format

Installation

pip install xgen-doc2chunk

Or using uv:

uv add xgen-doc2chunk

Quick Start

Basic Usage

from xgen_doc2chunk import DocumentProcessor

# Create processor instance
processor = DocumentProcessor()

# Extract text from a document
text = processor.extract_text("document.pdf")
print(text)

# Extract text and chunk in one step
result = processor.extract_chunks(
    "document.pdf",
    chunk_size=1000,
    chunk_overlap=200
)

# Access chunks
for i, chunk in enumerate(result.chunks):
    print(f"Chunk {i + 1}: {chunk[:100]}...")

# Save chunks to markdown file
result.save_to_md("output/chunks.md")

With OCR Processing

from xgen_doc2chunk import DocumentProcessor
from xgen_doc2chunk.ocr.ocr_engine.openai_ocr import OpenAIOCREngine

# Initialize OCR engine
ocr_engine = OpenAIOCREngine(api_key="sk-...", model="gpt-4o")

# Create processor with OCR
processor = DocumentProcessor(ocr_engine=ocr_engine)

# Extract text with OCR processing enabled
text = processor.extract_text(
    "scanned_document.pdf",
    ocr_processing=True
)
