Build the contract before the pipeline.
Focused reading from the Extraction Journal. Start with the guide that matches the next decision in your workflow.
2 COMPLETE ARTICLESStart with the meaning of a record, not a list of tools. These guides cover the decisions that connect a permitted source to a dependable result: source selection, field definitions, identity, evidence, missing values, and a safe handoff. They are useful before choosing a parser or a deployment environment. Read the data contract guide first, then explore website extraction to see how the same principles apply to page content. A structured response is only useful when its fields describe the right source and its failures remain visible. Keep a small review set as you work through the examples, and test the receiving application rather than stopping when the output looks correct.
A better data contract.
Define fields, evidence, failure states, and outputs before you scale an extraction workflow.
