​
Common Use Cases

  1. Bulk Document Processing: Easily extract data from multiple documents stored within a zip file for downstream analysis.
  2. Data Ingestion for Analysis: Use in workflows that require the extraction of structured data from CSV and JSON files for data processing.
  3. Text Extraction for Content Review: Useful for pulling text from reports, logs, or archived notes within a zip file for content analysis.
