From complex documents to high-quality data that AI can understand in seconds: A practical guide to EasyDoc parsing
Explore new breakthroughs in document parsing in the AI era. EasyDoc turns complex data into high-quality input in seconds.

1. Challenges and pain points of RAG system data quality
2. Three core functions of EasyDoc and its advantages
3. Actual case: How to use EasyDoc to improve RAG system performance
When building a RAG system, processing massive amounts of document data is often a huge challenge. This article will introduce you to EasyDoc, an intelligent document parsing engine designed specifically for the AI era, which can significantly improve the performance of your RAG system and help you build smarter and more accurate AI applications.
The core challenge of the RAG system: data quality
In the RAG (retrieval-augmented generation) system, data quality directly determines the accuracy and reliability of the final answer. However, traditional document parsing tools often fail to meet actual needs:
Chaotic chunking: Simple segmentation or splitting by fixed size can easily destroy the semantic context and lead to inaccurate retrieval results. Lack of hierarchical structure: The hierarchical structure of the document, such as titles, chapters, and paragraphs, is ignored, affecting LLM's understanding of the context. Table and image blind spots: Key information in tables, images, and multimodal content is difficult to extract effectively, resulting in the RAG system being unable to fully utilize document data. Complicated data preprocessing: Developers spend a lot of time cleaning and organizing data, which seriously affects development efficiency.
EasyDoc: A document parsing engine designed for AI
Core Features
1. Intelligent identification and extraction of content blocks:
Compared with the traditional mechanical segmentation method of fixed lines or paragraphs (which easily leads to loss of contextual information and knowledge fragmentation), EasyDoc uses advanced semantic understanding capabilities to intelligently identify and extract logically complete content blocks (knowledge units). This provides high-quality and coherent corpus input for artificial intelligence applications, helping to improve the depth and accuracy of the model's understanding of document content.
2. Accurate analysis of document hierarchy:
EasyDoc can accurately identify and construct the logical structure tree of the document, whether it is a chapter clause or a complex multi-level title system, it can be clearly presented. Through the associated identifiers in the output (such as parent_id), users can easily trace the hierarchical ownership of the content block and accurately understand its position in the document and contextual connection, which is crucial for scenarios that require accurate positioning of information.
3. Deep understanding of tables and images:
EasyDoc has the ability to deeply analyze tables and images in documents, which goes beyond simple text extraction. This technology can not only extract text in table cells and images, but also understand their internal structure and semantic information. For example, it can parse the relationship between rows and columns in a table, cross-page/cross-grid situations, and make a preliminary interpretation of the core information expressed by charts (such as trend charts and bar charts) (as shown in the vlm_understanding section in the example below). This provides strong support for analytical tasks that need to extract structured data and key insights from multimodal information.
How does EasyDoc improve RAG accuracy?
1. High-quality structured data
The output is in clean and structured JSON format, which optimizes the user experience of LLM. Semantically related content blocks and clear hierarchical structures significantly improve retrieval recall and precision.
2. Multimodal analysis capabilities
The data in tables and pictures are no longer "blind spots". In Premium mode, EasyDoc can understand and extract the semantics of table rows and columns and pictures. Build smarter and more comprehensive artificial intelligence applications through the deep integration of multimodal data.
3. Reduce data preprocessing
Clean JSON output minimizes tedious data cleaning and preprocessing. Developers can focus more on optimizing retrieval and generation rather than fixing bad parsing results.
Practical example: Improving RAG system performance
In order to intuitively demonstrate the parsing effect of EasyDoc, I tested PPT and WORD documents containing tables and pictures.
Input: WORD and PPT documents, including tables, pictures and multi-level titles. Output: The JSON generated by EasyDoc has a clear structure and distinct levels, especially in parsing tables and pictures.
Through this test, EasyDoc successfully converted complex document content into high-quality structured data, providing a solid foundation for the RAG system and facilitating the implementation of accurate question and answer.
Three analysis modes to meet different needs
EasyDoc currently provides three modes:
Lite Mode: Fast Text Extraction
Applicable scenarios: Suitable for rapid development and prototype verification, providing basic text extraction functions. Example usage:
curl --location --request POST 'https://api.easydoc.sh/api/v1/parse' \

--form 'file=@"<your-file-path>"' \
--form 'mode="lite"'
Pro Mode: Preserve Hierarchy
Applicable scenarios: Optimized specifically for RAG, retaining the complete hierarchical structure of the document and improving retrieval accuracy. Example usage:
curl --location --request POST 'https://api.easydoc.sh/api/v1/parse' \
--header 'api-key: <your-api-key>' \
--form 'file=@"<your-file-path>"' \
--form 'mode="pro"'
Premium mode: multi-modal and comprehensive analysis
Applicable scenarios: Unlock the deep analysis and understanding of tables and pictures, suitable for advanced, multi-modal RAG applications. Example usage:
curl --location --request POST 'https://api.easydoc.sh/api/v1/parse' \
--header 'api-key: <your-api-key>' \
--form 'file=@"<your-file-path>"' \
