Laraue PDF query language

Introduction

The library should allow to make queries to PDF. E.g. select table rows from tables where first cell text is "Number". The library should execute the passed sequence of operations, like stages in MongoDB.

Why?

Sometimes extracting data from PDF require write a lot of boilerplate C# code.

How to use

Open a PDF

var pdfBytes = File.ReadAllBytes("my.pdf");
var pdfContainer = new PdfDocument(pdfBytes);

Define the operations sequence

var pdfql = @"
    select(tables)
        ->filter((item) => item.GetCell(4).Text() == 'Name')
        ->selectMany(tableRows)
        ->map((item) => item.GetCell(1))";

Run the tree execution

var executor = new PdfqlExecutor();
var result = executor.ExecutePsql(pdfql, pdfContainer);
