The standard library in Rust is not "batteries included", excluding functionality like HTTP(S), JSON, timezones, random numbers, and async IO. The recommended crate directory is a hand-curated guide to the crates.io ecosystem, helping you choose which crates to use.

Any command that goes through Rust’s build system, Cargo, can execute arbitrary code. This applies to any command starting with
cargo. - Mistral OCR
-
Mistral OCR is an Optical Character Recognition API that sets a new standard in document understanding. Unlike other models, Mistral OCR comprehends each element of documents—media, text, tables, equations—with unprecedented accuracy and cognition. It takes images and PDFs as input and extracts content in an ordered interleaved text and images.

Interesting concept that I didn’t know about. Still, I fail to understand the details of the XML parser part:
It use a balanced parenthesis tree to store the XML tree. This does not allow one to attach information to nodes such as the XML tag information (i.e. the p in <p> and </p>). But you can attach information to each node by maintaining a sparse rank/select bit vector for each tag that marks the relevant parenthesis with additional information.
