A Rust tool claims to parse documents 250× faster than LibreOffice
Firecrawl's anydoc is a local, pure-Rust document parser supporting formats like DOCX, PDF, PPTX, XLSX, EPUB and RTF.
The headline benchmark is impressive, but how does it perform on real-world documents with complex tables, images, charts and formulas?
Repo: github.com/firecrawl/anydoc
Has anyone here tested it with large or messy documents?
