Open-source, local document parsing CLI by LlamaIndex: LiteParse

LiteParse is a lightweight CLI tool for local document parsing, born out of everything we learned building LlamaParse. The core idea is pretty simple: rather than trying to detect and reconstruct document structure, it preserves spatial layout as-is and passes that to your LLM. This works well in practice because LLMs are already trained on ASCII tables and indented text, so they understand the format naturally without you having to do extra wrangling.
