// Overview of Major Packages
2017-08-01 14:49:20 +00:00
//
// The API is composed of a few major packages:
//
2017-08-01 15:07:47 +00:00
// - common: Provides common shared types such as Logger and utilities to check
// license validity.
//
// - pdf/core: The core package defines the primitive PDF object types and handles
// the file reading I/O and parsing the primitive objects.
//
// - pdf/model: The model package builds on the core package, to represent the PDF as
// a structured model of the PDF primitive types. It has a reader and a writer to
// read and process a PDF file based on the structured model. This serves as a basis
// to perform a number of numerous tasks and can be used to work with a PDF in a
// medium to high level interface, although it does require an understanding of the
// PDF format and structure.
//
// - pdf/creator: The PDF creator makes it easy to create new PDFs or modify existing
// PDFs. It can also enable loading a template PDF, adding text/images and
// generating an output PDF. It can be used to add text, images, and generate text
// and graphical reports. It is designed with simplicity in mind, with the goal of
// making it easy to create reports without needing any knowledge about the PDF
// format or specifications.

// - pdf/extractor: Package extractor is used for quickly extracting PDF content
// through a simple interface. Currently offers functionality for extracting textual
// content.
