#### extractFileSync()
Synchronous wrapper for `extract_file`.
This is a convenience function that blocks the current thread until extraction completes.
For async code, use `extract_file` directly.
Uses the global Tokio runtime for 100x+ performance improvement over creating
a new runtime per call. Always uses the global runtime to avoid nested runtime issues.
This function is only available with the `tokio-runtime` feature. For WASM targets,
use a truly synchronous extraction approach instead.

This function processes multiple files in parallel, automatically managing
concurrency to prevent resource exhaustion. The concurrency limit can be
configured via `ExtractionConfig.max_concurrent_extractions` or defaults
to `(num_cpus * 1.5).ceil()`.
Each file can optionally specify a `FileExtractionConfig` that overrides specific
fields from the batch-level `config`. Pass `null` for a file to use the batch defaults.
Batch-level settings like `max_concurrent_extractions` and `use_cache` are always
taken from the batch-level `config`.

| `prependHeadingContext` | `boolean` | `false` | When `true` and `chunker_type` is `Markdown`, prepend the heading hierarchy path (e.g. `"# Title > ## Section\n\n"`) to each chunk's content string. This is useful for RAG pipelines where each chunk needs self-contained context about its position in the document structure. Default: `false` |
| `topicThreshold` | `number \| null` | `null` | Optional cosine similarity threshold for semantic topic boundary detection. Only used when `chunker_type` is `Semantic` and an `EmbeddingConfig` is provided. You almost never need to set this. When omitted, defaults to `0.75` which works well for most documents. Lower values detect more topic boundaries (more, smaller chunks); higher values detect fewer. Range: `0.0..=1.0`. |

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

#### DocumentExtractor
Trait for document extractor plugins.
Implement this trait to add support for new document formats or to override
built-in extraction behavior with custom logic.
### Return Type
Extractors return `InternalDocument`, a flat intermediate representation.
The pipeline converts this into the public `ExtractionResult` via the
derivation step.
### Priority System
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.
### Thread Safety
Extractors must be thread-safe (`Send + Sync`) to support concurrent extraction.
### Methods
#### extractBytes()
Extract content from a byte array.
This is the core extraction method that processes in-memory document data.
**Returns:**
An `InternalDocument` containing the extracted elements, metadata, and tables.
The pipeline will convert this into the public `ExtractionResult`.
**Errors:**
- `KreuzbergError.Parsing` - Document parsing failed
- `KreuzbergError.Validation` - Invalid document structure
- `KreuzbergError.Io` - I/O errors (these always bubble up)
- `KreuzbergError.MissingDependency` - Required dependency not available
**Signature:**
```typescript
extractBytes(content: Buffer, mimeType: string, config: ExtractionConfig): InternalDocument
```
#### extractFile()
Extract content from a file.
Default implementation reads the file and calls `extract_bytes`.
Override for custom file handling, streaming, or memory optimizations.
**Returns:**
An `InternalDocument` containing the extracted elements, metadata, and tables.
**Errors:**
Same as `extract_bytes`, plus file I/O errors.
**Signature:**
```typescript
extractFile(path: string, mimeType: string, config: ExtractionConfig): InternalDocument
```
#### supportedMimeTypes()
Get the list of MIME types supported by this extractor.
Can include exact MIME types and prefix patterns:
- Exact: `"application/pdf"`, `"text/plain"`
- Prefix: `"image/*"` (matches any image type)
**Returns:**
A slice of MIME type strings.
**Signature:**
```typescript
supportedMimeTypes(): Array<string>
```
#### priority()
Get the priority of this extractor.
Higher priority extractors are preferred when multiple extractors
support the same MIME type.
### Priority Guidelines
- **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:**
```typescript
priority(): number
```
#### canHandle()
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:**
```typescript
canHandle(path: string, mimeType: string): boolean
```
---
#### DocumentNode
A single node in the document tree.
Each node has deterministic `id`, typed `content`, optional `parent`/`children`
for tree structure, and metadata like page number, bounding box, and content layer.
| Field | Type | Default | Description |
|-------|------|---------|-------------|
| `id` | `string` | — | Deterministic identifier (hash of content + position). |
| `content` | `NodeContent` | — | Node content — tagged enum, type-specific data only. |
| `parent` | `number \| null` | `null` | Parent node index (`null` = root-level node). |
| `children` | `Array<number>` | `/* serde(default) */` | Child node indices in reading order. |
| `contentLayer` | `ContentLayer` | `/* serde(default) */` | Content layer classification. |
| `page` | `number \| null` | `null` | Page number where this node starts (1-indexed). |
| `pageEnd` | `number \| null` | `null` | Page number where this node ends (for multi-page tables/sections). |
| `bbox` | `BoundingBox \| null` | `null` | Bounding box in document coordinates. |
| `annotations` | `Array<TextAnnotation>` | `/* serde(default) */` | Inline annotations (formatting, links) on this node's text content. Only meaningful for text-carrying nodes; empty for containers. |
| `attributes` | `Record<string, string> \| null` | `null` | Format-specific key-value attributes. Extensible bag for miscellaneous data without a dedicated typed field: CSS classes, LaTeX environment names, Excel cell formulas, slide layout names, etc. |
---
#### DocumentRelationship
A resolved relationship between two nodes in the document tree.
| Field | Type | Default | Description |
|-------|------|---------|-------------|
| `source` | `number` | — | Source node index (the referencing node). |
| `target` | `number` | — | Target node index (the referenced node). |

---
#### DocumentRevision
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 `ExtractionResult.revisions = None` until a
format-specific implementation is added.
| Field | Type | Default | Description |
|-------|------|---------|-------------|
| `revisionId` | `string` | — | Format-specific revision identifier. For DOCX this is the `w:id` attribute value on the change element (e.g. `"42"`). When the attribute is absent a synthetic fallback is generated (`"docx-ins-0"`, `"docx-del-3"`, …). |
| `author` | `string \| null` | `null` | Display name of the author who made this change, when available. |
| `timestamp` | `string \| null` | `null` | ISO-8601 timestamp of the change, when available. Stored as a plain string so this type remains FFI-friendly and unconditionally available without the `chrono` optional dep. DOCX populates this from the `w:date` attribute (e.g. `"2024-03-15T10:30:00Z"`). |
| `kind` | `RevisionKind` | — | Semantic kind of this revision. |
| `anchor` | `RevisionAnchor \| null` | `null` | Best-effort document location for this revision. Resolution is format-dependent and may be `null` when the location cannot be determined (e.g. changes inside table cells before table-cell anchor support is added). |
| `delta` | `RevisionDelta` | — | The content changes that make up this revision. |
---
#### DocumentStructure
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.
### Validation
Call `validate()` after construction to verify all node indices are in bounds
and parent-child relationships are bidirectionally consistent.
| Field | Type | Default | Description |
|-------|------|---------|-------------|
| `nodes` | `Array<DocumentNode>` | `[]` | All nodes in document/reading order. |
| `sourceFormat` | `string \| null` | `null` | Origin format identifier (e.g. "docx", "pptx", "html", "pdf"). Allows renderers to apply format-aware heuristics when converting the document tree to output formats. |
| `relationships` | `Array<DocumentRelationship>` | `[]` | Resolved relationships between nodes (footnote refs, citations, anchor links, etc.). Populated during derivation from the internal document representation. Empty when no relationships are detected. |
| `nodeTypes` | `Array<string>` | `[]` | Sorted, deduplicated list of node type names present in this document. Each value is the snake_case `node_type` tag of the corresponding `NodeContent` variant (e.g. `"paragraph"`, `"heading"`, `"table"`, …). Computed from `nodes` via `DocumentStructure.finalize_node_types`. Empty until that method is called (internal construction paths call it at the end of derivation). |
### Methods
#### finalizeNodeTypes()
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:**
```typescript
finalizeNodeTypes(): void
```
#### isEmpty()

**Signature:**
```typescript
isEmpty(): boolean
```
#### default()
**Signature:**
```typescript

---
#### EmbeddingBackend
Trait for in-process embedding backend plugins.
Async to match the convention used by `OcrBackend`,
`DocumentExtractor`, 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.
### Thread safety
Backends must be `Send + Sync + 'static`. They are stored in
`Arc<dyn EmbeddingBackend>` and called concurrently from kreuzberg'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>`).
### Contract
- `embed(texts)` MUST return exactly `texts.len()` vectors, each of length
`self.dimensions()`. The dispatcher in `embed_texts`
validates this before returning to downstream consumers; a non-conforming
backend surfaces as a `KreuzbergError.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 kreuzberg — 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`.
### Runtime
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`.
### Methods
#### dimensions()
Embedding vector dimension. Must be `> 0` and must match the length of
every vector returned by `embed`.
**Signature:**
```typescript
dimensions(): number
```
#### embed()
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:**
```typescript
embed(texts: Array<string>): Array<Array<number>>
```
---
#### EmbeddingConfig
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 "balanced" preset if not specified) |
| `normalize` | `boolean` | `true` | Whether to normalize embedding vectors (recommended for cosine similarity) |
| `batchSize` | `number` | `32` | Batch size for embedding generation |
| `showDownloadProgress` | `boolean` | `false` | Show model download progress |
| `cacheDir` | `string \| null` | `null` | Custom cache directory for model files Defaults to `~/.cache/kreuzberg/embeddings/` if not specified. Allows full customization of model download location. |
| `acceleration` | `AccelerationConfig \| null` | `null` | Hardware acceleration for the embedding ONNX model. When set, controls which execution provider (CPU, CUDA, CoreML, TensorRT) is used for inference. Defaults to `null` (auto-select per platform). |
| `maxEmbedDurationSecs` | `number \| null` | `null` | Maximum wall-clock duration (in seconds) for a single `embed()` call when using `EmbeddingModelType.Plugin`. Applies only to the in-process plugin path — protects against hung host-language backends (e.g. a Python callback deadlocked on the GIL, a model stuck on CUDA OOM retries, etc.). On timeout, the dispatcher returns `Plugin` instead of blocking forever. `null` disables the timeout. The default (60 seconds) is conservative for common in-process inference; increase for large batches on slow hardware. |

---
#### ExtractionConfig
Main extraction configuration.
This struct contains all configuration options for the extraction process.
It can be loaded from TOML, YAML, or JSON files, or created programmatically.
| Field | Type | Default | Description |
|-------|------|---------|-------------|
| `useCache` | `boolean` | `true` | Enable caching of extraction results |
| `enableQualityProcessing` | `boolean` | `true` | Enable quality post-processing |
| `ocr` | `OcrConfig \| null` | `null` | OCR configuration (None = OCR disabled) |
| `forceOcr` | `boolean` | `false` | Force OCR even for searchable PDFs |
| `forceOcrPages` | `Array<number> \| null` | `null` | Force OCR on specific pages only (1-indexed page numbers, must be >= 1). When set, only the listed pages are OCR'd regardless of text layer quality. Unlisted pages use native text extraction. Ignored when `force_ocr` is `true`. Only applies to PDF documents. Duplicates are automatically deduplicated. An `ocr` config is recommended for backend/language selection; defaults are used if absent. |
| `disableOcr` | `boolean` | `false` | Disable OCR entirely, even for images. When `true`, OCR is skipped for all document types. Images return metadata only (dimensions, format, EXIF) without text extraction. PDFs use only native text extraction without OCR fallback. Cannot be `true` simultaneously with `force_ocr`. *Added in v4.7.0.* |
| `chunking` | `ChunkingConfig \| null` | `null` | Text chunking configuration (None = chunking disabled) |
| `contentFilter` | `ContentFilterConfig \| null` | `null` | Content filtering configuration (None = use extractor defaults). Controls whether document "furniture" (headers, footers, watermarks, repeating text) is included in or stripped from extraction results. See `ContentFilterConfig` for per-field documentation. |
| `images` | `ImageExtractionConfig \| null` | `null` | Image extraction configuration (None = no image extraction) |
| `pdfOptions` | `PdfConfig \| null` | `null` | PDF-specific options (None = use defaults) |
| `tokenReduction` | `TokenReductionOptions \| null` | `null` | Token reduction configuration (None = no token reduction) |
| `languageDetection` | `LanguageDetectionConfig \| null` | `null` | Language detection configuration (None = no language detection) |
| `pages` | `PageConfig \| null` | `null` | Page extraction configuration (None = no page tracking) |
| `keywords` | `KeywordConfig \| null` | `null` | Keyword extraction configuration (None = no keyword extraction) |
| `postprocessor` | `PostProcessorConfig \| null` | `null` | Post-processor configuration (None = use defaults) |
| `htmlOptions` | `string \| null` | `null` | HTML to Markdown conversion options (None = use defaults) Configure how HTML documents are converted to Markdown, including heading styles, list formatting, code block styles, and preprocessing options. |
| `htmlOutput` | `HtmlOutputConfig \| null` | `null` | Styled HTML output configuration. When set alongside `output_format = OutputFormat.Html`, the extraction pipeline uses `StyledHtmlRenderer` which emits stable `kb-*` CSS class hooks on every structural element and optionally embeds theme CSS or user-supplied CSS in a `<style>` block. When `null`, the existing plain comrak-based HTML renderer is used. |
| `extractionTimeoutSecs` | `number \| null` | `null` | Default per-file timeout in seconds for batch extraction. When set, each file in a batch will be canceled after this duration unless overridden by `FileExtractionConfig.timeout_secs`. Defaults to `Some(60)` to prevent pathological files (e.g. deeply nested archives, documents with millions of cells) from running indefinitely and exhausting caller resources. Set to `null` to disable the timeout for trusted input or long-running workloads. |
| `maxConcurrentExtractions` | `number \| null` | `null` | Maximum concurrent extractions in batch operations (None = (num_cpus × 1.5).ceil()). Limits parallelism to prevent resource exhaustion when processing large batches. Defaults to (num_cpus × 1.5).ceil() when not set. |
| `resultFormat` | `ResultFormat` | `ResultFormat.Unified` | Result structure format Controls whether results are returned in unified format (default) with all content in the `content` field, or element-based format with semantic elements (for Unstructured-compatible output). |
| `securityLimits` | `SecurityLimits \| null` | `null` | Security limits for archive extraction. Controls maximum archive size, compression ratio, file count, and other security thresholds to prevent decompression bomb attacks. Also caps nesting depth, iteration count, entity / token length, total content size, and table cell count for every extraction path that ingests user-controlled bytes. When `null`, default limits are used. |
| `maxEmbeddedFileBytes` | `number \| null` | `null` | Maximum uncompressed size in bytes for a single embedded file before recursive extraction is attempted (default: 50 MiB). Applies to embedded objects inside OOXML containers (DOCX, PPTX) and to email attachments processed via recursive extraction. Files that exceed this limit are skipped with a `ProcessingWarning` rather than passed to the extraction pipeline, preventing a single oversized embedded object from consuming unbounded memory or time. Set to `null` to disable the per-embedded-file cap (falls back to `security_limits.max_archive_size` as the only guard). |
| `outputFormat` | `OutputFormat` | `OutputFormat.Plain` | Content text format (default: Plain). Controls the format of the extracted content: - `Plain`: Raw extracted text (default) - `Markdown`: Markdown formatted output - `Djot`: Djot markup format (requires djot feature) - `Html`: HTML formatted output When set to a structured format, extraction results will include formatted output. The `formatted_content` field may be populated when format conversion is applied. |
| `layout` | `LayoutDetectionConfig \| null` | `null` | Layout detection configuration (None = layout detection disabled). When set, PDF pages and images are analyzed for document structure (headings, code, formulas, tables, figures, etc.) using RT-DETR models via ONNX Runtime. For PDFs, layout hints override paragraph classification in the markdown pipeline. For images, per-region OCR is performed with markdown formatting based on detected layout classes. Requires the `layout-detection` feature to run inference; the field is present whenever the `layout-types` feature is active (which includes `layout-detection` as well as the no-ORT target groups). |
| `useLayoutForMarkdown` | `boolean` | `false` | Run layout detection on the non-OCR PDF markdown path. When `true` and `layout` is `Some(_)`, layout regions inform heading, table, list, and figure detection in the structure pipeline that would otherwise rely on font-clustering heuristics alone. Significantly improves SF1 (structural F1) at the cost of inference latency (~150-300ms/page CPU, ~20-50ms/page GPU). Default: `false`. Requires the `layout-detection` feature. |
| `includeDocumentStructure` | `boolean` | `false` | Enable structured document tree output. When true, populates the `document` field on `ExtractionResult` with a hierarchical `DocumentStructure` containing heading-driven section nesting, table grids, content layer classification, and inline annotations. Independent of `result_format` — can be combined with Unified or ElementBased. |
| `acceleration` | `AccelerationConfig \| null` | `null` | Hardware acceleration configuration for ONNX Runtime models. Controls execution provider selection for layout detection and embedding models. When `null`, uses platform defaults (CoreML on macOS, CUDA on Linux, CPU on Windows). |
| `cacheNamespace` | `string \| null` | `null` | Cache namespace for tenant isolation. When set, cache entries are stored under `{cache_dir}/{namespace}/`. Must be alphanumeric, hyphens, or underscores only (max 64 chars). Different namespaces have isolated cache spaces on the same filesystem. |
| `cacheTtlSecs` | `number \| null` | `null` | Per-request cache TTL in seconds. Overrides the global `max_age_days` for this specific extraction. When `0`, caching is completely skipped (no read or write). When `null`, the global TTL applies. |
| `email` | `EmailConfig \| null` | `null` | Email extraction configuration (None = use defaults). Currently supports configuring the fallback codepage for MSG files that do not specify one. See `EmailConfig` for details. |
| `concurrency` | `string \| null` | `null` | Concurrency limits for constrained environments (None = use defaults). Controls Rayon thread pool size, ONNX Runtime intra-op threads, and (when `max_concurrent_extractions` is unset) the batch concurrency semaphore. See `ConcurrencyConfig` for details. |
| `maxArchiveDepth` | `number` | — | Maximum recursion depth for archive extraction (default: 3). Set to 0 to disable recursive extraction (legacy behavior). |
| `treeSitter` | `TreeSitterConfig \| null` | `null` | Tree-sitter language pack configuration (None = tree-sitter disabled). When set, enables code file extraction using tree-sitter parsers. Controls grammar download behavior and code analysis options. |
| `structuredExtraction` | `StructuredExtractionConfig \| null` | `null` | Structured extraction via LLM (None = disabled). When set, the extracted document content is sent to an LLM with the provided JSON schema. The structured response is stored in `ExtractionResult.structured_output`. |
| `cancelToken` | `string \| null` | `null` | Cancellation token for this extraction (None = no external cancellation). Pass a `CancellationToken` clone here and call `CancellationToken.cancel` from another thread / task to abort the extraction in progress. The extractor checks the token at safe checkpoints (before lock acquisition, between pages, between batch items) and returns `KreuzbergError.Cancelled` when set. The field is excluded from serialization because `CancellationToken` is a runtime handle, not a configuration value. |
### Methods
#### default()
**Signature:**
```typescript
static default(): ExtractionConfig
```
#### needsImageProcessing()
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.
### Optimization Impact
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.
**Signature:**
```typescript
needsImageProcessing(): boolean
```
---
#### ExtractionDiff
The complete diff between two `ExtractionResult` values.
| Field | Type | Default | Description |
|-------|------|---------|-------------|
| `contentDiff` | `Array<DiffHunk>` | — | Unified-diff hunks for the `content` field. Empty when the content is identical. |
| `tablesAdded` | `Array<Table>` | — | Tables present in `b` but not in `a` (by index position, excess right-side tables). |
| `tablesRemoved` | `Array<Table>` | — | Tables present in `a` but not in `b` (by index position, excess left-side tables). |
| `tablesChanged` | `Array<TableDiff>` | — | Cell-level changes for table pairs that share the same index and dimensions. |
| `metadataChanged` | `unknown` | — | 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. |
| `embeddedChanges` | `EmbeddedChanges` | — | Changes to embedded archive children. |
---

| `detectedLanguages` | `Array<string> \| null` | `[]` | Detected languages |
| `chunks` | `Array<Chunk> \| null` | `[]` | 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` | `Array<ExtractedImage> \| null` | `[]` | 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` | `Array<PageContent> \| null` | `[]` | 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` | `Array<Element> \| null` | `[]` | 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. |
| `djotContent` | `DjotContent \| null` | `null` | 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 `null` for non-Djot documents. |
| `ocrElements` | `Array<OcrElement> \| null` | `[]` | 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 \| null` | `null` | 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. |
| `extractedKeywords` | `Array<Keyword> \| null` | `[]` | 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"]`. |
| `qualityScore` | `number \| null` | `null` | Document quality score from quality analysis. A value between 0.0 and 1.0 indicating the overall text quality. Previously stored in `metadata.additional["quality_score"]`. |
| `processingWarnings` | `Array<ProcessingWarning>` | `[]` | Non-fatal warnings collected during processing pipeline stages. Captures errors from optional pipeline features (embedding, chunking, language detection, output formatting) that don't prevent extraction but may indicate degraded results. Previously stored as individual keys in `metadata.additional`. |
| `annotations` | `Array<PdfAnnotation> \| null` | `[]` | PDF annotations extracted from the document. When annotation extraction is enabled via `PdfConfig.extract_annotations`, this field contains text notes, highlights, links, stamps, and other annotations found in PDF documents. |
| `children` | `Array<ArchiveEntry> \| null` | `[]` | Nested extraction results from archive contents. When extracting archives, each processable file inside produces its own full extraction result. Set to `null` for non-archive formats. Use `max_archive_depth` in config to control recursion depth. |
| `uris` | `Array<ExtractedUri> \| null` | `[]` | 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` | `Array<DocumentRevision> \| null` | `[]` | Tracked changes embedded in the source document. Populated by per-format extractors that understand change-tracking metadata (DOCX `w:ins`/`w:del`/`w:rPrChange`, ODT `text:change-*`, …). Every extractor defaults to `null` until its format-specific implementation is added. Extractors that do populate this field follow the "accepted-changes" convention: inserted text is present in `content`, deleted text is absent — the revision list is the separate audit trail. |
| `structuredOutput` | `unknown \| null` | `null` | Structured extraction output from LLM-based JSON schema extraction. When `structured_extraction` is configured in `ExtractionConfig`, the extracted document content is sent to a VLM with the provided JSON schema. The response is parsed and stored here as a JSON value matching the schema. |
| `codeIntelligence` | `unknown \| null` | `null` | 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`. |
| `llmUsage` | `Array<LlmUsage> \| null` | `[]` | LLM token usage and cost data for all LLM calls made during this extraction. Contains one entry per LLM call. Multiple entries are produced when VLM OCR, structured extraction, or LLM embeddings run during the same extraction. `null` when no LLM was used. |
| `formattedContent` | `string \| null` | `null` | Pre-rendered content in the requested output format. Populated during `derive_extraction_result` before tree derivation consumes element data. `apply_output_format` swaps this into `content` at the end of the pipeline, after post-processors have operated on plain text. |
| `ocrInternalDocument` | `string \| null` | `null` | Structured hOCR document for the OCR+layout pipeline. When tesseract produces hOCR output, the parsed `InternalDocument` carries paragraph structure with bounding boxes and confidence scores. The layout classification step enriches these elements before final rendering. |

Set to `false` to extract images without OCR processing, even when OCR is enabled. |
| `ocrTextOnly` | `boolean` | `false` | When `true`, image OCR results are rendered as plain text without the `![...](...)` markdown placeholder. Only takes effect when `run_ocr_on_images` is also `true`. |
| `appendOcrText` | `boolean` | `false` | When `true` and `ocr_text_only` is `false`, append the OCR text after the image placeholder in the rendered output. |

#### OcrBackend
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 Python libraries (like EasyOCR, PaddleOCR)
- Cloud-based OCR services (Google Vision, AWS Textract, etc.)
### Thread Safety
OCR backends must be thread-safe (`Send + Sync`) to support concurrent processing.
### Methods
#### processImage()
Process an image and extract text via OCR.
**Returns:**
An `ExtractionResult` containing the extracted text and metadata.
**Errors:**
- `KreuzbergError.Ocr` - OCR processing failed
- `KreuzbergError.Validation` - Invalid image format or configuration
- `KreuzbergError.Io` - I/O errors (these always bubble up)
### Reading `backend_options`
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:**
```typescript
processImage(imageBytes: Buffer, config: OcrConfig): ExtractionResult
```
#### processImageFile()
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:**
```typescript
processImageFile(path: string, config: OcrConfig): ExtractionResult
```
#### supportsLanguage()
Check if this backend supports a given language code.
**Returns:**
`true` if the language is supported, `false` otherwise.
**Signature:**
```typescript
supportsLanguage(lang: string): boolean
```
#### backendType()
Get the backend type identifier.
**Returns:**
The backend type enum value.
**Signature:**
```typescript
backendType(): OcrBackendType
```
#### supportedLanguages()
Optional: Get a list of all supported languages.
Defaults to empty list. Override to provide comprehensive language support info.
**Signature:**
```typescript
supportedLanguages(): Array<string>
```
#### supportsTableDetection()
Optional: Check if the backend supports table detection.
Defaults to `false`. Override if your backend can detect and extract tables.
**Signature:**
```typescript
supportsTableDetection(): boolean
```
#### supportsDocumentProcessing()
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:**
```typescript
supportsDocumentProcessing(): boolean
```
#### processDocument()
Process a document file directly via OCR.
Only called if `supports_document_processing` returns `true`.
**Signature:**
```typescript
processDocument(path: string, config: OcrConfig): ExtractionResult
```

|-------|------|---------|-------------|
| `detection` | `number \| null` | `null` | Detection confidence: how confident the OCR engine is that text exists here. PaddleOCR provides this as `box_score`, Tesseract doesn't have a direct equivalent. Range: 0.0 to 1.0 (or None if not available). |
| `recognition` | `number` | — | Recognition confidence: how confident about the text content. Range: 0.0 to 1.0. |
---
#### OcrConfig
OCR configuration.
| Field | Type | Default | Description |
|-------|------|---------|-------------|
| `enabled` | `boolean` | `true` | Whether OCR is enabled. Setting `enabled: false` is a shorthand for `disable_ocr: true` on the parent `ExtractionConfig`. Images return metadata only; PDFs use native text extraction without OCR fallback. Defaults to `true`. When `false`, all other OCR settings are ignored. |
| `backend` | `string` | — | OCR backend: tesseract, easyocr, paddleocr |
| `language` | `string` | — | Language code (e.g., "eng", "deu") |
| `tesseractConfig` | `TesseractConfig \| null` | `null` | Tesseract-specific configuration (optional) |
| `outputFormat` | `OutputFormat \| null` | `null` | Output format for OCR results (optional, for format conversion) |
| `paddleOcrConfig` | `unknown \| null` | `null` | PaddleOCR-specific configuration (optional, JSON passthrough) |
| `backendOptions` | `unknown \| null` | `null` | Arbitrary per-call options passed through to the backend unchanged. Custom OCR backends and built-in backends that support runtime tuning can read this value and deserialize the keys they care about. Keys unknown to the backend are silently ignored. This is the recommended extension point for per-call parameters that are not covered by the typed fields above (e.g. mode switching, preprocessing flags, inference batch size). **Scope:** when `pipeline` is `null`, this value is propagated to the primary stage of the auto-constructed pipeline. When `pipeline` is explicitly set, this field has **no effect** — the caller must set `OcrPipelineStage.backend_options` directly on the relevant stage(s) instead. Example: ```json { "mode": "fast", "enable_layout": true, "timeout_ms": 5000 } ``` |
| `elementConfig` | `OcrElementConfig \| null` | `null` | OCR element extraction configuration |
| `qualityThresholds` | `OcrQualityThresholds \| null` | `null` | Quality thresholds for the native-text-to-OCR fallback decision. When None, uses compiled defaults (matching previous hardcoded behavior). |
| `pipeline` | `OcrPipelineConfig \| null` | `null` | Multi-backend OCR pipeline configuration. When set, enables weighted fallback across multiple OCR backends based on output quality. When None, uses the single `backend` field (same as today). |
| `autoRotate` | `boolean` | `false` | Enable automatic page rotation based on orientation detection. When enabled, uses Tesseract's `DetectOrientationScript()` to detect page orientation (0/90/180/270 degrees) before OCR. If the page is rotated with high confidence, the image is corrected before recognition. This is critical for handling rotated scanned documents. |
| `vlmConfig` | `LlmConfig \| null` | `null` | VLM (Vision Language Model) OCR configuration. Required when `backend` is `"vlm"`. Uses liter-llm to send page images to a vision model for text extraction. |
| `vlmPrompt` | `string \| null` | `null` | Custom Jinja2 prompt template for VLM OCR. When `null`, uses the default template. Available variables: - `{{ language }}` — The document language code (e.g., "eng", "deu"). |
| `acceleration` | `AccelerationConfig \| null` | `null` | Hardware acceleration for ONNX Runtime models (e.g. PaddleOCR, layout detection). Not user-configurable via config files — injected at runtime from `ExtractionConfig.acceleration` before each `process_image` call. |
| `tessdataBytes` | `Record<string, Buffer> \| null` | `null` | Caller-supplied Tesseract `traineddata` bytes per language code. Primary use case is the WASM build, which has no filesystem and cannot download tessdata at runtime. Native builds typically rely on `TessdataManager` and ignore this field. When present, the WASM Tesseract backend prefers these bytes over its compile-time-bundled English data. Skipped by serde to keep config files small — supply via the typed API at runtime. |

### Methods
#### default()
**Signature:**
```typescript
static default(): PageConfig
```
---
#### PageContent
Content for a single page/slide.
When page extraction is enabled, documents are split into per-page content
with associated tables and images mapped to each page.
### Performance
Uses Arc-wrapped tables and images for memory efficiency:
- `Vec<Arc<Table>>` enables zero-copy sharing of table data
- `Vec<Arc<ExtractedImage>>` enables zero-copy sharing of image data
- Maintains exact JSON compatibility via custom Serialize/Deserialize
This reduces memory overhead for documents with shared tables/images
by avoiding redundant copies during serialization.
| Field | Type | Default | Description |
|-------|------|---------|-------------|
| `pageNumber` | `number` | — | Page number (1-indexed) |
| `content` | `string` | — | Text content for this page |
| `tables` | `Array<Table>` | `/* serde(default) */` | Tables found on this page (uses Arc for memory efficiency) Serializes as Vec<Table> for JSON compatibility while maintaining Arc semantics in-memory for zero-copy sharing. |
| `imageIndices` | `Array<number>` | `/* serde(default) */` | Indices into `ExtractionResult.images` for images found on this page. Each value is a zero-based index into the top-level `images` collection. Only populated when `extract_images = true` in the extraction config. |
| `hierarchy` | `PageHierarchy \| null` | `null` | Hierarchy information for the page (when hierarchy extraction is enabled) Contains text hierarchy levels (H1-H6) extracted from the page content. |
| `isBlank` | `boolean \| null` | `null` | Whether this page is blank (no meaningful text content) Determined during extraction based on text content analysis. A page is blank if it has fewer than 3 non-whitespace characters and contains no tables or images. |
| `layoutRegions` | `Array<LayoutRegion> \| null` | `null` | Layout detection regions for this page (when layout detection is enabled). Contains detected layout regions with class, confidence, bounding box, and area fraction. Only populated when layout detection is configured. |
| `speakerNotes` | `string \| null` | `null` | Speaker notes for this slide (PPTX only). Contains the text from the slide's notes pane (`ppt/notesSlides/notesSlide{N}.xml`). Only populated when the source is a PPTX file and notes are present. |
| `sectionName` | `string \| null` | `null` | Section name this slide belongs to (PPTX only). PowerPoint sections group slides into logical chapters (`<p:sectionLst>` in `ppt/presentation.xml`). Only populated when the source is a PPTX file and the slide belongs to a named section. |
| `sheetName` | `string \| null` | `null` | Sheet name for this page (XLSX/ODS only). Each spreadsheet sheet maps to one `PageContent` entry. This field carries the sheet's display name as it appears in the workbook. `null` for all non-spreadsheet formats and for sheets with an empty name. |

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

| `pageNumber` | `number` | — | Page number where the annotation appears (1-indexed). |
| `boundingBox` | `BoundingBox \| null` | `null` | Bounding box of the annotation on the page. |
---
#### PdfConfig
PDF-specific configuration.
| Field | Type | Default | Description |
|-------|------|---------|-------------|
| `extractImages` | `boolean` | `false` | Extract images from PDF |
| `extractTables` | `boolean` | `true` | Extract tables from PDF. When `true` (default), runs pdf_oxide's native grid detector and, if it finds nothing, falls back to the heuristic text-layer reconstruction in `pdf.oxide.table.extract_tables_heuristic`. Set to `false` to skip both passes — `tables` will then be empty in the result. |
| `passwords` | `Array<string> \| null` | `null` | List of passwords to try when opening encrypted PDFs |
| `extractMetadata` | `boolean` | `true` | Extract PDF metadata |
| `hierarchy` | `HierarchyConfig \| null` | `null` | Hierarchy extraction configuration (None = hierarchy extraction disabled) |

| `bottomMarginFraction` | `number \| null` | `null` | Bottom margin fraction (0.01.0) of page height to exclude footers/page numbers. Default: 0.05 (5%) |
| `allowSingleColumnTables` | `boolean` | `false` | Allow single-column pseudo tables in extraction results. By default, tables with fewer than 2 columns (layout-guided) or 3 columns (heuristic) are rejected. When `true`, the minimum column count is relaxed to 1, allowing single-column structured data (glossaries, itemized lists) to be emitted as tables. Other quality filters (density, sparsity, prose detection) still apply. |
| `ocrInlineImages` | `boolean` | `false` | Perform OCR on inline images extracted from PDF pages and attach the recognized text to each `ExtractedImage.ocr_result`. Requires Tesseract to be available; if `ExtractionConfig.ocr` is `null` the extractor falls back to `TesseractConfig.default()`. Per-image failures degrade gracefully (the image is returned without OCR text rather than failing the whole extraction). Default: `false`. |
### Methods

#### Plugin
Base trait that all plugins must implement.
This trait provides common functionality for plugin lifecycle management,
identification, and metadata.
### Thread Safety
All plugins must be `Send + Sync` to support concurrent usage across threads.
### Methods
#### name()
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:**
```typescript
name(): string
```
#### version()
Returns the semantic version of this plugin.
Should follow semver format: `MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH`
Defaults to the kreuzberg crate version.
**Signature:**
```typescript
version(): string
```
#### initialize()
Initialize the plugin.
Called once when the plugin is registered. Use this to:
- Load configuration
- Initialize resources (connections, caches, etc.)
- Validate dependencies
### Thread Safety
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:**
```typescript
initialize(): void
```
#### shutdown()
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
### Thread Safety
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:**
```typescript
shutdown(): void
```
#### description()
Optional plugin description for debugging and logging.
Defaults to empty string if not overridden.
**Signature:**
```typescript
description(): string
```
#### author()
Optional plugin author information.
Defaults to empty string if not overridden.
**Signature:**
```typescript
author(): string
```
---
#### PostProcessor
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
### Processing Order
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.
### Error Handling
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()`.
### Thread Safety
Post-processors must be thread-safe (`Send + Sync`).
### Methods
#### process()
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.
### Performance
This signature avoids unnecessary cloning of large extraction results by
taking a mutable reference instead of ownership. Processors modify the
result in place.
### Example - Language Detection
### Example - Text Cleaning
```rust
async fn process(&self, result: &mut ExtractionResult, config: &ExtractionConfig)
-> Result<()> {
// Remove excessive whitespace
result.content = result
.content
.split_whitespace()
.collect::<Vec<_>>()
.join(" ");
Ok(())
}
```
**Signature:**
```typescript
process(result: ExtractionResult, config: ExtractionConfig): void
```
#### processingStage()
Get the processing stage for this post-processor.
Determines when this processor runs in the pipeline.
**Returns:**
The `ProcessingStage` (Early, Middle, or Late).
**Signature:**
```typescript
processingStage(): ProcessingStage
```
#### shouldProcess()
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:**
```typescript
shouldProcess(result: ExtractionResult, config: ExtractionConfig): boolean
```
#### estimatedDurationMs()
Optional: Estimate processing time in milliseconds.
Used for logging and debugging. Defaults to 0 (unknown).
**Returns:**
Estimated processing time in milliseconds.
**Signature:**
```typescript
estimatedDurationMs(result: ExtractionResult): number
```
#### priority()
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:**
```typescript
priority(): number
```

#### RecognizedTable
Pre-computed table markdown for a table detection region.
Produced by the TATR-based table structure recognizer and surfaced as part of
layout-aware OCR results. The struct lives here (under `layout-types`, pure-Rust)
so that consumers who do not enable `layout-detection` (ORT) can still reference
the type in their own code.
| Field | Type | Default | Description |
|-------|------|---------|-------------|
| `detectionBbox` | `BBox` | — | Detection bbox that this table corresponds to (for matching). |
| `cells` | `Array<Array<string>>` | — | Table cells as a 2D vector (rows × columns). |
| `markdown` | `string` | — | Rendered markdown table. |
---
#### Renderer
Trait for document renderers that convert `InternalDocument` to output strings.
Renderers are typically stateless converters that transform the internal
document representation 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.
### Thread Safety
Renderers must be `Send + Sync` (inherited from `Plugin`).
### Methods
#### render()
Render an `InternalDocument` to the output format.
**Returns:**
The rendered output as a string.
**Errors:**
Returns an error if rendering fails.
**Signature:**
```typescript
render(doc: InternalDocument): string
```
---
#### RevisionDelta
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, `content` is empty — the property diff is left as a TODO for a
later enrichment pass.
| Field | Type | Default | Description |
|-------|------|---------|-------------|
| `content` | `Array<DiffLine>` | `[]` | Line-level content changes for this revision. |
| `tableChanges` | `Array<CellChange>` | `[]` | Cell-level table changes for this revision. |

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

---
#### Validator
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.
### Use Cases
- **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
### Error Handling
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.
### Thread Safety
Validators must be thread-safe (`Send + Sync`).
### Methods
#### validate()
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:**
- `KreuzbergError.Validation` - Validation failed
- Any other error type appropriate for the failure
### Example - Content Length Validation
```rust
async fn validate(&self, result: &ExtractionResult, config: &ExtractionConfig)
-> Result<()> {
let length = result.content.len();
if length < self.min {
return Err(KreuzbergError::validation(format!(
"Content too short: {} < {} characters",
length, self.min
)));
}
if length > self.max {
return Err(KreuzbergError::validation(format!(
"Content too long: {} > {} characters",
length, self.max
)));
}
Ok(())
}
```
### Example - Quality Score Validation
```rust
async fn validate(&self, result: &ExtractionResult, config: &ExtractionConfig)
-> Result<()> {
// Check if quality_score exists in metadata
let score = result.metadata
.additional
.get("quality_score")
.and_then(|v| v.as_f64())
.unwrap_or(0.0);
if score < self.min_score {
return Err(KreuzbergError::validation(format!(
"Quality score too low: {} < {}",
score, self.min_score
)));
}
Ok(())
}
```
### Example - Security Validation
```rust
async fn validate(&self, result: &ExtractionResult, config: &ExtractionConfig)
-> Result<()> {
// Check for blocked patterns
for pattern in &self.blocked_patterns {
if result.content.contains(pattern) {
return Err(KreuzbergError::validation(format!(
"Content contains blocked pattern: {}",
pattern
)));
}
}
Ok(())
}
```
**Signature:**
```typescript
validate(result: ExtractionResult, config: ExtractionConfig): void
```
#### shouldValidate()
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:**
```typescript
shouldValidate(result: ExtractionResult, config: ExtractionConfig): boolean
```
#### priority()
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:**
```typescript
priority(): number
```

| `GitHub` | GitHub Markdown-inspired palette and spacing. |
| `Dark` | Dark background, light text. |
| `Light` | Minimal light theme with generous whitespace. |
| `Unstyled` | No built-in stylesheet emitted. CSS custom properties are still defined on `:root` so user stylesheets can reference `var(--kb-*)` tokens. |
---
#### TableModel
Which table structure recognition model to use.
Controls the model used for table cell detection within layout-detected
table regions. Wire format is snake_case in all serializers (JSON, TOML,
YAML).
| Value | Description |
|-------|-------------|
| `Tatr` | TATR (Table Transformer) -- default, 30MB, DETR-based row/column detection. |
| `SlanetWired` | SLANeXT wired variant -- 365MB, optimized for bordered tables. |
| `SlanetWireless` | SLANeXT wireless variant -- 365MB, optimized for borderless tables. |
| `SlanetPlus` | SLANet-plus -- 7.78MB, lightweight general-purpose. |

---
#### ChunkerType
Type of text chunker to use.
### Variants
- `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` | Text format |
| `Markdown` | Markdown format |
| `Yaml` | Yaml format |
| `Semantic` | Semantic |
---
#### ChunkSizing
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. Any tokenizer
available on HuggingFace Hub can be used, including OpenAI-compatible tokenizers
(e.g., `Xenova/gpt-4o`, `Xenova/cl100k_base`).
| Value | Description |
|-------|-------------|
| `Characters` | Size measured in Unicode characters (default). |
| `Tokenizer` | Size measured in tokens from a HuggingFace tokenizer. — Fields: `model`: `string`, `cacheDir`: `string` |
---
#### EmbeddingModelType
Embedding model types supported by Kreuzberg.
| Value | Description |
|-------|-------------|
| `Preset` | Use a preset model configuration (recommended) — Fields: `name`: `string` |
| `Custom` | Use a custom ONNX model from HuggingFace — Fields: `modelId`: `string`, `dimensions`: `number` |
| `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. Kreuzberg 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. Semantic chunking falls back to `ChunkingConfig.max_characters` when this variant is used, since there is no preset to look a chunk-size ceiling up against — size your context window via `max_characters` directly. See `register_embedding_backend`. — Fields: `name`: `string` |

### Errors
#### KreuzbergError
Main error type for all Kreuzberg operations.
All errors in Kreuzberg use this enum, which preserves error chains
and provides context for debugging.
### Variants
- `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
Errors are thrown as plain `Error` objects with descriptive messages.
