LlamaIndex publishes Document Parsing Protocol working draft for parser output rules
Overview
LlamaIndex has released a working draft of the Document Parsing Protocol (DPP), a shared set of rules for how document parsers handle text, tables, forms, charts, and diagrams.
According to LlamaIndex's post on X, the protocol targets disagreements between parsers, such as whether a region is a table or text and how to handle multi-row table headers. DPP includes example pages and expected outputs.
LlamaIndex says the draft is live and asks for feedback. Users can get a Claude skill or a ChatGPT reference file, test the protocol on difficult pages, and report results.
