Convert text-based diagram syntax into visual diagrams without using a GUI. Engineers write diagram definitions in a code-like language that renders as flowcharts, architecture diagrams, sequence diagrams, and other technical visualizations.
Embed and update diagrams directly within GitHub repositories, allowing diagrams to be referenced, versioned, and modified alongside code without leaving the GitHub interface or IDE.
Manage who can view, edit, and share diagrams within a team, with granular permission controls for different team members.
Search across all diagrams and documentation to find specific diagrams, components, or concepts within the team's documentation repository.
Add comments and annotations to diagrams for discussion, clarification, and collaborative feedback without modifying the diagram itself.
Validate diagram code syntax in real-time and provide error messages to help users fix issues before rendering.
Write technical documentation in markdown format with embedded diagrams, creating cohesive living documentation that combines prose and visual explanations in a single editable format.
Track changes to diagrams over time through version control, enabling teams to see what changed between diagram versions and maintain a complete history of documentation evolution.

Accepts PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, images, and HTML as input and routes each through format-specific parsers before converting to a unified internal document representation. Uses format detection to select appropriate extraction engines (e.g., pdfplumber or pypdf for PDFs, python-docx for DOCX, PIL for images), normalizing all outputs into a common DoclingDocument AST that preserves structural metadata.
Unique: Unified AST-based representation (DoclingDocument) that normalizes structural metadata across heterogeneous formats, enabling downstream tasks to operate on a single canonical format rather than format-specific outputs
vs alternatives: More comprehensive than pdfplumber (PDF-only) or python-docx (DOCX-only) because it handles 5+ formats with consistent structural preservation; simpler than Unstructured.io's multi-model approach because it uses deterministic parsing rather than LLM-based extraction
Analyzes spatial positioning, bounding boxes, and visual hierarchy of document elements (text blocks, tables, images, headers) to reconstruct logical reading order and document structure. Uses computer vision techniques to detect page regions, classify element types by position and styling, and build a hierarchical representation that preserves the original layout semantics rather than flattening to linear text.
Unique: Preserves 2D spatial relationships and visual hierarchy in the output AST, allowing downstream consumers to reconstruct original layout rather than losing positional information during text extraction
vs alternatives: More layout-aware than simple text extraction tools (pdfplumber) because it models spatial relationships; more deterministic than vision-LLM approaches (GPT-4V) because it uses rule-based layout detection without API calls
Docling scores higher at 56/100 vs Eraser at 48/100.

Automatically detects the language of document content and applies language-specific processing (OCR language models, text segmentation, heading detection) appropriate to the detected language. Supports 50+ languages including CJK, Arabic, Devanagari, and Latin scripts, with configurable language hints for ambiguous cases. Preserves language information in document metadata for downstream processing.
Unique: Integrates language detection into the document processing pipeline and applies language-specific processing (OCR models, text segmentation) automatically, with language information preserved in document metadata for downstream multilingual tasks
vs alternatives: More integrated than standalone language detection because it chains detection into processing; more comprehensive than English-only tools because it supports 50+ languages with language-specific models
Processes large documents (>100 MB) in a streaming fashion, parsing pages or sections incrementally rather than loading the entire document into memory. Yields DoclingDocument chunks as they are processed, enabling memory-efficient handling of very large files and progressive output generation without waiting for complete document processing.
Unique: Implements page-by-page or section-by-section streaming processing that yields partial DoclingDocument objects as pages are processed, enabling memory-efficient handling of very large files without buffering the entire document
vs alternatives: More memory-efficient than batch processing because it processes incrementally; more flexible than simple page extraction because it preserves document structure within each chunk
Splits extracted document structure into chunks suitable for RAG systems, respecting semantic boundaries (paragraphs, sections, tables) rather than naive character-count splitting. Implements configurable chunk size, overlap, and boundary detection to preserve semantic coherence while enabling efficient retrieval. Maintains chunk metadata (source page, section, confidence) for traceability.
Unique: Implements semantic-aware chunking that respects document structure boundaries (paragraphs, sections, tables) rather than naive character splitting, with configurable overlap and boundary detection, enabling better semantic coherence for RAG systems
vs alternatives: Produces semantically-coherent chunks by respecting document structure, whereas naive chunking tools split at arbitrary character boundaries; improves retrieval quality in RAG systems by preserving semantic units
Detects table regions within documents using visual boundary detection and extracts cell contents while maintaining row/column relationships. Handles merged cells, multi-line cell content, and nested tables by parsing table structure into a normalized grid representation with explicit row and column indices, then exports to structured formats (JSON, Markdown table syntax) that preserve cell boundaries and relationships.
Unique: Maintains explicit cell-level metadata (row index, column index, content, bounding box) in the output, enabling downstream systems to reconstruct table structure programmatically rather than relying on string parsing of exported formats
vs alternatives: More robust than regex-based table detection because it uses visual boundary analysis; more flexible than fixed-schema extraction because it adapts to variable table structures without manual configuration
Detects when documents contain image-only content (scanned PDFs, photographs) and automatically routes them through an OCR engine (Tesseract, EasyOCR, or cloud-based APIs) to extract text. Preserves spatial positioning of recognized text by mapping OCR bounding boxes back to document coordinates, enabling layout analysis and table extraction to work on scanned documents with minimal quality loss.
Unique: Automatically detects when OCR is needed (no text layer in PDF) and integrates OCR results back into the layout analysis pipeline, preserving spatial coordinates so downstream tasks (table extraction, structure analysis) work on OCR output as if it were native text
vs alternatives: More integrated than standalone OCR tools because it chains OCR output into layout and table extraction; supports multiple OCR backends (Tesseract, EasyOCR, cloud APIs) unlike single-engine solutions
Converts DoclingDocument AST to Markdown format, mapping document structure (headings, lists, tables, emphasis) to Markdown syntax while preserving hierarchical relationships. Uses the layout analysis output to infer heading levels from visual hierarchy, converts table structures to Markdown table syntax, and preserves inline formatting (bold, italic, links) from source documents.
Unique: Infers Markdown heading levels from visual hierarchy detected during layout analysis rather than using heuristics, producing semantically correct heading structures that reflect the original document's information hierarchy
vs alternatives: More structure-aware than simple PDF-to-Markdown converters (Pandoc) because it uses layout analysis to infer heading levels; more flexible than fixed-template approaches because it adapts to variable document structures
