Exploring LangChain's Document Loaders

One of the standout features of LangChain is its ability to easily handle and process different types of documents through its Document Loaders. This functionality allows developers to load documents from various sources seamlessly, making it a valuable tool for applications that require data extraction and processing.

Getting Started with Document Loaders

Document loaders in LangChain can handle various file formats including PDFs, Word documents, and text files. Below is a simple example that demonstrates how to use the `TextLoader` to load a plain text document:

from langchain.document_loaders import TextLoader

# Load a text file
loader = TextLoader("example.txt")
documents = loader.load()

# Print the loaded documents
for doc in documents:
    print(doc.page_content)

In this example, we instantiate a TextLoader object with the path to a text file. Once the file is loaded, we can access the content through the page_content attribute, allowing for further processing or analysis.

With LangChain's Document Loaders, handling documents has never been easier, enabling you to focus on building powerful features for your applications!
