0.2.0 — 25 July 2026

First public release on PyPI.

pip install docslicer==0.2.0

Parsing

• parse_document — one entry point for every supported format, auto-detected from the file extension and magic bytes.
• Format-specific parsers — parse_pdf, parse_docx, parse_pptx, parse_html — for when you know the format and want a mismatch to fail loudly.
• parse_all for folders: yields (source, result) pairs and never aborts the batch on a single failure.
• DocumentParser for reusing one configuration across many calls.

Structure

• Blocks — headings, paragraphs, and tables as atomic units, with bounding boxes and page numbers.
• Chunking — heading-aware grouping sized to an embedding model's context window, instead of a fixed character split.
• Hierarchy — the document's heading tree, for navigating by structure rather than by page.
• Tables in three representations: markdown, jsonl, and melted.
• Charts in DOCX and PPTX recovered as data rather than pixels — series, categories, values, and axis titles.

Packaging

• Python 3.10+, pure-Python wheel, no system dependencies for the base install.
• Optional extras: html (Playwright rendering), llm (exact tiktoken counts), ocr, crypto (password-protected Office files), and parquet.
