Summary

Core domain contracts for OmniRead.

This package defines the format-agnostic domain layer of OmniRead. It exposes canonical content models and abstract interfaces that are implemented by format-specific modules (HTML, PDF, etc.).

Public exports from this package are considered stable contracts and are safe for downstream consumers to depend on.

Submodules:

  • content: Canonical content models and enums.
  • parser: Abstract parsing contracts.
  • scraper: Abstract scraping contracts.

Format-specific behavior must not be introduced at this layer.


Public API

  • Content
  • ContentType

Classes

BaseParser

BaseParser(content: Content)

Bases: ABC, Generic[T]

Base interface for all parsers.

Notes

Guarantees:

1

4
- A parser is a self-contained object that owns the `Content` it is
  responsible for interpreting.
- Consumers may rely on early validation of content compatibility
  and type-stable return values from `parse()`.

Responsibilities:

1
2
3
- Implementations must declare supported content types via `supported_types`.
- Implementations must raise parsing-specific exceptions from `parse()`.
- Implementations must remain deterministic for a given input.

Initialize the parser with content to be parsed.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
content Content

Content instance to be parsed.

required

Raises:

Type Description
ValueError

If the content type is not supported by this parser.

Attributes
supported_types class-attribute instance-attribute
supported_types: Set[ContentType] = set()

Set of content types supported by this parser. An empty set indicates that the parser is content-type agnostic.

Functions
parse abstractmethod
parse() -> T

Parse the owned content into structured output.

Returns:

Name Type Description
T T

Parsed, structured representation.

Raises:

Type Description
Exception

Parsing-specific errors as defined by the implementation.

Notes

Responsibilities:

1
2
- Implementations must fully consume the provided content and
  return a deterministic, structured output.
supports
supports() -> bool

Check whether this parser supports the content's type.

Returns:

Name Type Description
bool bool

True if the content type is supported; False otherwise.

BaseScraper

Bases: ABC

Base interface for all scrapers.

Notes

Responsibilities:

- A scraper is responsible ONLY for fetching raw content (bytes)
  from a source. It must not interpret or parse it.
- A scraper is a stateless acquisition component that retrieves raw
  content from a source and returns it as a `Content` object.
- Scrapers define how content is obtained, not what the content means.
- Implementations may vary in transport mechanism, authentication
  strategy, retry and backoff behavior.

Constraints:

1
2
- Implementations must not parse content, modify content semantics,
  or couple scraping logic to a specific parser.
Functions
fetch abstractmethod
fetch(source: str, *, metadata: Optional[Mapping[str, Any]] = None) -> Content

Fetch raw content from the given source.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
source str

Location identifier (URL, file path, S3 URI, etc.).

required
metadata Optional[Mapping[str, Any]]

Optional hints for the scraper (headers, auth, etc.).

None

Returns:

Name Type Description
Content Content

Content object containing raw bytes and metadata.

Raises:

Type Description
Exception

Retrieval-specific errors as defined by the implementation.

Notes

Responsibilities:

1
2
- Implementations must retrieve the content referenced by `source`
  and return it as raw bytes wrapped in a `Content` object.

Content dataclass

Content(raw: bytes, source: str, content_type: Optional[ContentType] = ..., metadata: Optional[Mapping[str, Any]] = ...)

Normalized representation of extracted content.

Notes

Responsibilities:

- A `Content` instance represents a raw content payload along with
  minimal contextual metadata describing its origin and type.
- This class is the primary exchange format between scrapers,
  parsers, and downstream consumers.
Attributes
content_type class-attribute instance-attribute
content_type: Optional[ContentType] = None

Optional MIME type of the content, if known.

metadata class-attribute instance-attribute
metadata: Optional[Mapping[str, Any]] = None

Optional, implementation-defined metadata associated with the content (e.g., headers, encoding hints, extraction notes).

raw instance-attribute
raw: bytes

Raw content bytes as retrieved from the source.

source instance-attribute
source: str

Identifier of the content origin (URL, file path, or logical name).

ContentType

Bases: str, Enum

Supported MIME types for extracted content.

Notes

Guarantees:

1

- This enum represents the declared or inferred media type of the
  content source.
- It is primarily used for routing content to the appropriate
  parser or downstream consumer.
Attributes

HTML = 'text/html'

HTML document content.

JSON class-attribute instance-attribute
JSON = 'application/json'

JSON document content.

PDF class-attribute instance-attribute
PDF = 'application/pdf'
