Document Structure Extractor
Turn Markdown documents into structured JSON — heading tree, section text, code blocks, links, and parsed tables. Pure parsing, deterministic, no LLM cost.
What it does
For each input document it extracts:
- Title (first
#heading) and preamble text - Nested section tree: level, heading, body text, character counts, children — fenced code blocks never miscounted as headings
- Code blocks with language tags and line numbers
- Links (
[text](url)) - Tables parsed into header + rows
- Stats: lines, characters, heading and code-block counts
Input
{"documents": ["# Guide\n\nIntro.\n\n## Setup\n\n```bash\npip install x\n```"]}
Output (one dataset item per document)
{"title": "Guide","sections": [{"level": 1, "heading": "Guide", "text": "Intro.","children": [{"level": 2, "heading": "Setup", "...": "..."}]}],"code_blocks": [{"lang": "bash", "code": "pip install x", "line": 7}],"links": [],"tables": [],"stats": {"lines": 9, "chars": 52, "headings": 2, "code_blocks": 1}}
Typical uses
- Building tables of contents / outlines for documentation sites
- Feeding section-level structure into RAG ingestion pipelines
- Auditing docs: section sizes, code-block coverage, dead-link candidates
