Why we included this project

Teams building knowledge agents usually hit the same bottleneck first: real documents arrive as messy PDFs, slide decks, or Word files, not clean text. This SDK is LlamaIndex's managed answer to that step, giving you Python and TypeScript clients that send those files to the cloud and get back markdown, structured JSON, or extracted tables, with layout detection, OCR, and table parsing handled for you. The same library also covers the management side of knowledge bases and agents, so it can carry a project from raw uploads to a working retrieval system. The honest caveat is that this repo is now in maintenance mode and tied to the older Parse API v1; active work has moved to the newer llama-cloud packages, which makes it a stable reference for existing integrations rather than a starting point for new ones.
