chunker.rs

//! Document chunking for RAG pipelines — the Rust port of docling-core's
//! `docling_core.transforms.chunker`.
//!
//! Two chunkers, matching docling's semantics output-for-output:
//!
//! * [`HierarchicalChunker`] walks the document tree and yields one chunk per
//!   top-level item (paragraph, whole list, table, picture caption, …), each
//!   carrying the heading path it sits under. Tables are serialized in
//!   docling's *triplet* form (`row, column = value`), pictures contribute
//!   their captions.
//! * [`HybridChunker`] refines the hierarchical chunks with a tokenizer:
//!   oversized chunks are split (at item boundaries first, then within the
//!   text by docling's `semchunk` algorithm), and undersized neighbours that
//!   share the same headings are merged back together.
//!
//! [`contextualize`] renders a chunk to the string an embedding model should
//! see: the heading path plus the chunk text.
//!
//! Anything tokenizer-related is abstracted behind [`ChunkTokenizer`]; a
//! HuggingFace `tokenizers` implementation ships behind the `chunking` cargo
//! feature as [`HuggingFaceTokenizer`].
