The session used ASP.NET Core applications to demonstrate format-specific chunking modes, configurable chunk size and token overlap, structured JSON output, metadata, citation information, and RAG-based document question answering.

Developers can configure format-specific chunking modes, chunk size, and token overlap, then inspect the generated content, metadata, and citation information as JSON. Explore the [ASP.NET Core Document Chunking JSON demo](https://document.syncfusion.com/demos/documentchunking/createchunks#/tailwind "ASP.NET Core Document Chunking JSON demo"). ## AI-Integrated Document Q\&A The second application demonstrates how prepared document chunks can support a RAG-based question-answering workflow. The application generates embeddings for the chunks, stores them for retrieval, identifies the top-matching content for a user's question, and supplies that context to an AI model to generate a grounded response. The Syncfusion .NET Document Chunking Library handles document preparation, while the same application implements embedding generation, storage, retrieval, and AI-model integration separately. ## Conclusion The [Syncfusion .NET Document Chunking Library](https://help.syncfusion.com/document-processing/document-chunking-library/net/overview "Syncfusion .NET Document Chunking Library") helps developers transform PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Markdown content into structured, traceable chunks for search, document Q\&A, and RAG workflows. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### Is there built-in functionality to chunk documents straight from DOCX Editor for Angular? Or do they have to be saved as DOCX and processed later? There is currently no built-in integration between the Angular DOCX Editor and the .NET Document Chunking Library. However, the Angular DOCX Editor can export the currently edited document as a DOCX Blob. The application can send the Blob to an ASP.NET Core backend, convert it to a stream, and pass it to the .NET Document Chunking Library for processing. The document does not need to be permanently saved before chunking. ### There must be some extensibility story going forward. The document types chosen are the correct ones, but there are many more file formats (even video formats, XML-based formats) that people will want to add. Currently, the Syncfusion .NET Document Chunking Library supports Excel, Word, PDF, PowerPoint, and Markdown documents. Other formats, including video and general XML files, are not currently supported and would require separate extraction or conversion before chunking. **Support for additional formats is planned for future releases** ### Can someone introduce a new "document type" for, say, a C# file? Currently, the library does not provide code-aware chunking, such as splitting a codebase by file, class, function, or method based on its syntax. If code is included in a supported Markdown or Word document, the library processes it as regular document content rather than applying code-specific chunking. ### There are classes that allow you to chunk different file types, for which an embedding can be generated, given token number constraints and overlap. I wonder if you have thought about code-embedding, so code bases can be embedded. The current library does not split source code by syntax elements such as files, classes, methods, or functions. ## Related resources - [Smart Data Extraction for .NET & C# | Syncfusion](https://www.syncfusion.com/document-sdk/net-smart-data-extraction-library "Smart Data Extraction for .NET & C# | Syncfusion") - [ASP.NET Core Data Extraction Example - Syncfusion Demos](https://document.syncfusion.com/demos/smart-data-extractor/dataextractor#/bootstrap5 "ASP.NET Core Data Extraction Example - Syncfusion Demos") - [ASP.NET Core Document Chunking JSON Example - Syncfusion Demos](https://document.syncfusion.com/demos/documentchunking/createchunks#/tailwind "ASP.NET Core Document Chunking JSON Example - Syncfusion Demos")
