## 📦 Installation

### Prerequisites
- Rust 1.70+ (for compilation)
- Cargo (comes with Rust)

### Building from Source
```bash
git clone <repository-url>
cd doc_loader
cargo build --release
```

### Available Binaries
After building, you'll have access to these CLI tools:
- `doc_loader` - Universal document processor
- `pdf_processor` - PDF-specific processor
- `txt_processor` - Plain text processor  
- `json_processor` - JSON document processor
- `csv_processor` - CSV file processor
- `docx_processor` - DOCX document processor

## 🔧 Usage

### Universal Processor
Process any supported document type with the main binary:

```bash
# Basic usage
./target/release/doc_loader --input document.pdf

# With custom options
./target/release/doc_loader \
    --input document.pdf \
    --output result.json \
    --chunk-size 1500 \
    --chunk-overlap 150 \
    --detect-language \
    --pretty
```

### Format-Specific Processors
Use specialized processors for specific formats:

```bash
# Process a PDF
./target/release/pdf_processor --input report.pdf --pretty

# Process a CSV with analysis
./target/release/csv_processor --input data.csv --output analysis.json

# Process a JSON document
./target/release/json_processor --input config.json --detect-language
```

### Command Line Options
All processors support these common options:

- `--input <FILE>` - Input file path (required)
- `--output <FILE>` - Output JSON file (optional, defaults to stdout)
- `--chunk-size <SIZE>` - Maximum chunk size in characters (default: 1000)
- `--chunk-overlap <SIZE>` - Overlap between chunks (default: 100)
- `--no-cleaning` - Disable text cleaning
- `--detect-language` - Enable language detection
- `--pretty` - Pretty print JSON output

## 📋 Output Format

All processors generate a standardized JSON structure:

```json

use std::path::Path;

fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    let processor = UniversalProcessor::new();
    let params = ProcessingParams::default()
        .with_chunk_size(1500)
        .with_language_detection(true);
    
    let result = processor.process_file(
        Path::new("document.pdf"), 
        Some(params)
    )?;
    
    println!("Extracted {} chunks", result.chunks.len());
    Ok(())
}
```

**Doc Loader** - Making document processing simple, fast, and universal! 🚀

## 🐍 Python Bindings ✅

Doc Loader provides **fully functional** Python bindings through PyO3, offering the same performance as the native Rust library with a clean Python API.

### Installation
```bash
# Create virtual environment
python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate

# Install maturin build tool
pip install maturin

# Build and install Python bindings (Python 3.13+ supported)
venv/bin/maturin develop --features python --release
```

### Usage
```python
import doc_loader

# Quick start - process any supported file format
result = doc_loader.process_file("document.pdf", chunk_size=500)

print(f"Chunks: {result.chunk_count()}")
print(f"Words: {result.total_word_count()}")
print(f"Supported formats: {doc_loader.supported_extensions()}")

# Advanced usage with custom parameters
processor = doc_loader.PyUniversalProcessor()
params = doc_loader.PyProcessingParams(
    chunk_size=400,
    overlap=60,
    clean_text=True,
    extract_metadata=True
)

result = processor.process_file("document.txt", params)

# Process text content directly
text_result = processor.process_text_content("Your text here...", params)

# Export to JSON
json_output = result.to_json()
```

### Python Integration Examples
- **✅ RAG/Embedding Pipeline**: Direct integration with sentence-transformers
- **✅ Data Analysis**: Export to pandas DataFrames  
- **✅ REST API**: Flask/FastAPI endpoints
- **✅ Batch Processing**: Process directories of documents
- **✅ Jupyter Notebooks**: Interactive document analysis

### Status: Production Ready 🎉
The Python bindings are **fully tested and functional** with:
- All file formats supported (PDF, TXT, JSON, CSV, DOCX)
- Complete API coverage matching Rust functionality
- Proper error handling with Python exceptions
- Full parameter customization
- Comprehensive documentation and examples

Run the demo: `venv/bin/python python_demo.py`
