Content Analyzer details

Key-value pairing A key-value pair is two values, the “key,” which defines a dataset and the “value,” which defines a variable in the dataset.
JSON output of classification and data extraction JSON is a lightweight data-interchange format. It is easy for humans to read and write. It is easy for machines to parse and generate.
Ontology building for documents The Ontology Builder is a no-code design tool where you can train the system to classify documents and identify key values that are important to you.
