Document Loader offers a standardized way to import documents from various sources and convert them into common formats. It simplifies the process of adding new document types by providing a plugin system that other modules can easily integrate with.
Document Loader provides a consistent, plugin-driven API for ingesting documents from multiple sources and normalizing them into reusable output formats. It standardizes discovery, configuration, and execution of document loaders so other modules can focus on their own features instead of wiring bespoke ingestion logic.
Features
- Attribute-based plugins for registering loaders and loader types
- Runtime discovery via Drupal plugin managers with cache support
- Configurable defaults that map loader types to concrete loader plugins
- Common input/output interfaces to keep transport details decoupled
- Reusable input/output types for standard formats (JSON, CSV, Markdown, etc)
- Integration points within the Drupal user interface (MDXEditor, Field Widget Actions, etc)
