xgen-doc2chunk 0.2.11

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

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
)
