We just open-sourced LiteParse 🎉 A lightweight, local document parser in the shape of an easy-to-use CLI. No API calls, no external service, no cloud dependency. Just fast text extraction from common file formats, right from your terminal.

The output is designed to be fed straight into agents so they can read parsed text and reason over screenshots without any extra wrangling.

When you hit more complex territory like scanned docs, dense tables, or multi-column layouts, that's where LlamaParse picks up. Same philosophy, more horsepower for the hard stuff.
