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.

It's built for developers who want parsing that stays on their own infrastructure and gets out of their way. Clean PDFs, DOCX, HTML: run it, get your text, move on.

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.
