Why JSON
Capabilities
01

Schema-Defined Shape

Keys you set. Fields you expect.

JSON keys match the field names you define in the schema builder. No surprise nulls, no format variation across document batches. The shape of the output is always what you specified.

02

Nested Line Items

Repeating data as arrays.

Line items, transactions, and any repeating data export as arrays of child objects within the parent record. No flattening required — the hierarchy you model is the hierarchy you get.

03

Pipeline-Ready

Ingest without transformation.

JSON output is structured for direct ingestion into REST APIs, message queues, data warehouses, and automation workflows. No intermediate parsing layer needed between PdfParse and your downstream service.
