Auto Parser

Automatically select the parser based on file extension. Default when parser is omitted.

Configuration

parser = "auto"
# or omit entirely — auto is the default

Detection Rules

Extension	Parser Used	Notes
.json	json	Single JSON object
.jsonl, .ndjson	jsonl	JSON Lines
.csv	csv_row	CSV with header row
.xml	xml	Requires parser_xml feature
.tap	tap	Requires parser_tap feature
.txt, .log	text_line	Line-by-line
Other / none	text_line	Default fallback

Use Cases

• Mixed file format directories
• Dynamic input sources where format is determined by extension

Example

[sources.ci_outputs.extractor]
type = "opendal"
kind = "fs"
polling_interval = "30s"
recursive = true
path_patterns = ["**/*.json", "**/*.xml", "**/*.tap", "**/*.log", "**/*.csv"]
parser = "auto"
parameters = { root = "/var/ci/outputs" }
