Docling-Graph turns documents into validated **Pydantic** objects, then builds a **directed knowledge graph** with explicit semantic relationships.

This transformation enables high-precision use cases in **chemistry, finance, and legal** domains, where AI must capture exact entity connections (compounds and reactions, instruments and dependencies, properties and measurements) **rather than rely on approximate text embeddings**.

This toolkit supports two extraction paths: **local VLM extraction** via Docling, and **LLM-based extraction** routed through **LiteLLM** for local runtimes (vLLM, Ollama) and API providers (Mistral, OpenAI, Gemini, IBM WatsonX), all orchestrated through a flexible, config-driven pipeline.



## Key Capabilities

- **✍🏻 Input formats:** [Docling](https://docling-project.github.io/docling/usage/supported_formats/)’s supported inputs: PDF, images, markdown, Office, HTML, and more.

- **🧠 Extraction:** [LLM](docs/fundamentals/pipeline-configuration/backend-selection.md) or [VLM](docs/fundamentals/pipeline-configuration/backend-selection.md) backends, with [chunking](docs/fundamentals/extraction-process/chunking-strategies.md) and [processing modes](docs/fundamentals/pipeline-configuration/processing-modes.md).

- **💎 Graphs:** Pydantic → [NetworkX](docs/fundamentals/graph-management/graph-conversion.md) directed graphs with stable IDs and edge metadata.

- **📦 Export:** [CSV](docs/fundamentals/graph-management/export-formats.md#csv-export), [Cypher](docs/fundamentals/graph-management/export-formats.md#cypher-export), and other KG-friendly formats.

- **🔍 Visualization:** [Interactive HTML](docs/fundamentals/graph-management/visualization.md) and Markdown reports.

### Latest Changes

- **🪜 Multi-pass extraction:** [Delta](docs/fundamentals/extraction-process/delta-extraction.md) and [staged](docs/fundamentals/extraction-process/staged-extraction.md) contracts (experimental).

- **📐 Structured extraction:** LLM output is schema-enforced by default; see [CLI](docs/usage/cli/convert-command.md#structured-output-mode) and [API](docs/usage/api/llm-model-config.md) to disable.

- **✨ LiteLLM:** Single [interface](docs/reference/llm-clients.md) for vLLM, OpenAI, Mistral, WatsonX, and more.

- **🐛 Trace capture:** [Debug exports](docs/usage/advanced/trace-data-debugging.md) for extraction and fallback diagnostics.

### Coming Soon

* 🧩 **Interactive Template Builder:** Guided workflows for building Pydantic templates.

* 🧲 **Ontology-Based Templates:** Match content to the best Pydantic template using semantic similarity.

* 💾 **Graph Database Integration:** Export data straight into `Neo4j`, `ArangoDB`, and similar databases.



## Quick Start

### Requirements

- Python 3.10 or higher

### Installation

```bash
pip install docling-graph
```

This installs the core package with VLM support and LiteLLM for LLM providers. For detailed installation instructions (including optional extras and GPU setup), see [Installation Guide](docs/fundamentals/installation/index.md).

### API Key Setup (Remote Inference)

```bash
export OPENAI_API_KEY="..."        # OpenAI
export MISTRAL_API_KEY="..."       # Mistral
export GEMINI_API_KEY="..."        # Google Gemini

# IBM WatsonX
export WATSONX_API_KEY="..."       # IBM WatsonX API Key
export WATSONX_PROJECT_ID="..."    # IBM WatsonX Project ID
export WATSONX_URL="..."           # IBM WatsonX URL (optional)
```

### Basic Usage

#### CLI

```bash
# Initialize configuration
docling-graph init

# Convert document from URL (each line except the last must end with \)
docling-graph convert "https://arxiv.org/pdf/2207.02720" \
    --template "docs.examples.templates.rheology_research.ScholarlyRheologyPaper" \
    --processing-mode "many-to-one" \
    --extraction-contract "staged" \
    --debug

# Visualize results
docling-graph inspect outputs
```

#### Python API - Default Behavior

```python
from docling_graph import run_pipeline, PipelineContext
from docs.examples.templates.rheology_research import ScholarlyRheologyPaper

# Create configuration
config = {
    "source": "https://arxiv.org/pdf/2207.02720",
    "template": ScholarlyRheologyPaper,
    "backend": "llm",
    "inference": "remote",
    "processing_mode": "many-to-one",
    "extraction_contract": "staged",  # robust for smaller models
    "provider_override": "mistral",
    "model_override": "mistral-medium-latest",
    "structured_output": True,  # default
    "use_chunking": True,
}

# Run pipeline - returns data directly, no files written to disk
context: PipelineContext = run_pipeline(config)

# Access results
graph = context.knowledge_graph
models = context.extracted_models
metadata = context.graph_metadata

print(f"Extracted {len(models)} model(s)")
print(f"Graph: {graph.number_of_nodes()} nodes, {graph.number_of_edges()} edges")
```

For debugging, use `--debug` with the CLI to save intermediate artifacts to disk; see [Trace Data & Debugging](docs/usage/advanced/trace-data-debugging.md). For more examples, see [Examples](docs/usage/examples/index.md).



## Pydantic Templates

Templates define both the **extraction schema** and the resulting **graph structure**.

```python
from pydantic import BaseModel, Field
from docling_graph.utils import edge

class Person(BaseModel):
    """Person entity with stable ID."""
    model_config = {
        'is_entity': True,
        'graph_id_fields': ['last_name', 'date_of_birth']
    }
    
    first_name: str = Field(description="Person's first name")
    last_name: str = Field(description="Person's last name")
    date_of_birth: str = Field(description="Date of birth (YYYY-MM-DD)")

class Organization(BaseModel):
    """Organization entity."""
    model_config = {'is_entity': True}
    
    name: str = Field(description="Organization name")
    employees: list[Person] = edge("EMPLOYS", description="List of employees")
```
