What is PDF?

PDF

PDF stores document content as pages with text, graphics, and formatting. Data formats store structured key-value pairs for machine processing. PDFs are meant for human reading, not machine parsing. Extracting structured data from PDF requires specialized extraction tools or AI, not simple format conversion.

  • PDF preserves document structure with text, formatting, and layout information

What is JSON?

JSON

JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) stores structured data as human-readable text using key-value pairs, arrays, and nested objects. Lightweight and language-independent. Uses curly braces for objects, square brackets for arrays. Supports strings, numbers, booleans, null. Maximum size limited by parser implementation. Universal data interchange format for APIs and configuration. Based on JavaScript syntax but language-agnostic.

  • JSON is a data format
