3
- C Foreign Function Interface (FFI) bindings for the Kreuzberg document intelligence library.
4
-
5
- ## Overview
6
-
7
- This crate provides a C-compatible API that bridges the high-performance Rust core of Kreuzberg with multiple programming languages and FFI systems. It is the foundation for language bindings in Java (Panama FFI), Go (cgo), C# (P/Invoke), and other languages with C interoperability.
8
-
9
- The FFI exposes extraction functions, configuration management, plugin registration, and error handling through a stable C interface with thread-safe callbacks.
10
-
11
- ## Architecture
12
-
13
- ### FFI Bridge Layers

- Document Extraction Engines
23
- ```
24
-
25
- ### Binding Support
26
-
27
- This FFI layer is consumed by:
28
-
29
- - **Java** (packages/java): Using Java 25 Foreign Function & Memory API (Panama FFI)
30
- - **Go** (packages/go): Using cgo wrapper bindings
31
- - **C#** (packages/csharp): Using P/Invoke interop
32
- - **Zig** and other C-compatible languages
33
-
34
- ### Key Components
35
-
36
- - **Core Extraction** (`extract_file`, `extract_bytes`): Document text and data extraction
37
- - **Batch Operations**: Parallel processing of multiple documents
38
- - **MIME Detection**: File format identification
39
- - **Configuration Management**: Loading and applying extraction settings
40
- - **Plugin System**: OCR backend registration and callbacks
41
- - **Error Handling**: Thread-local error message storage
42
- - **Memory Management**: Safe pointer handling and FFI boundaries
43
-
44
- ## Installation
45
-
46
- ### Build from Source
47
-
48
- ```bash
49
- cargo build --release -p kreuzberg-ffi
50
- ```
51
-
52
- ### Output Artifacts
53
-
54
- After building, you will have:
55
-
56
- - **Dynamic Library**: `target/release/libkreuzberg_ffi.{so,dylib,dll}`
57
- - For loading at runtime
58
- - Platform-specific extensions (`.so` Linux, `.dylib` macOS, `.dll` Windows)
59
-
60
- - **Static Library**: `target/release/libkreuzberg_ffi.{a,lib}`
61
- - For static linking into applications
62
- - Platform-specific extensions (`.a` Unix, `.lib` Windows)
63
-
64
- - **Header File**: Auto-generated via `cbindgen` during build
65
-
66
- ### Header Generation
67
-
68
- The C header file is automatically generated during the build process via `cbindgen`:
69
-
70
- ```bash
71
- cargo build --release -p kreuzberg-ffi
72
- # Header is generated at build time based on #[no_mangle] functions
73
- ```
74
-
75
- For manual header generation:
76
-
77
- ```bash
78
- cargo build --features html,embeddings -p kreuzberg-ffi
79
- ```
80
-
81
- ### pkg-config File Generation
82
-
83
- The build process automatically generates pkg-config files for library discovery:
84
-
85
- ```bash
86
- cargo build --release -p kreuzberg-ffi
87
- ```
88
-
89
- This creates two variants in `crates/kreuzberg-ffi/`:
90
- - **kreuzberg-ffi.pc**: Development version (prefix points to repository)
91
- - **kreuzberg-ffi-install.pc**: Installation version (prefix=/usr/local)
92
-
93
- The development variant enables monorepo developers to use pkg-config:
94
-
95
- ```bash
96
- export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="$PWD/crates/kreuzberg-ffi:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH"
97
- pkg-config --cflags kreuzberg-ffi # Returns -I/path/to/repo/crates/kreuzberg-ffi
98
- pkg-config --libs kreuzberg-ffi # Returns -L/path/to/repo/target/release -lkreuzberg_ffi
99
- ```
100
-
101
- The installation variant is used in release artifacts for third-party use.
102
-
103
- ### Installing from Release Artifacts

403
-
404
- **Returns:**
405
- - `char*`: Error message string (NULL if no error)
406
-
407
- Note: Error messages are thread-local and persist until the next Kreuzberg function call.
408
-
409
- **Example:**

440
- }
441
- ```
442
-
443
- #### `void kreuzberg_free_extraction_result(ExtractionResult result)`
444
-
445
- Free memory associated with an extraction result.
446
-
447
- **Example:**
448

463
- // ... use batch.results ...
464
- kreuzberg_free_batch_extraction_result(batch);
465
- ```
466
-
467
- ## Type Definitions
468
-
469
- ### ExtractionResult
470
-
471
- ```c
472
- typedef struct {
473
- char* content; // Extracted text
474
- char* mime_type; // MIME type of document
475
- char* metadata; // JSON metadata string
476
- char* error; // Error message (NULL if success)
477
- // ... tables, images, chunks as needed
478
- } ExtractionResult;
479
- ```
480
-
481
- ### BatchExtractionResult
482
-
483
- ```c
484
- typedef struct {
485
- ExtractionResult* results; // Array of extraction results
486
- size_t count; // Number of results
487
- char* error; // Batch-level error (NULL if success)
488
- } BatchExtractionResult;
489
- ```
490
-
491
- ### OcrBackendCallback
492
-
493
- ```c
494
- typedef OcrBackendResult (*OcrBackendCallback)(
495
- const char* image_data,
496
- size_t image_size,
497
- const char* language,
498
- void* user_data
499
- );
500
- ```
501
-
502
- ## FFI Safety Guidelines
503
-
504
- ### Thread Safety
505
-
506
- All FFI functions are **thread-safe**. The Kreuzberg core uses Arc, Mutex, and RwLock for safe concurrent access:
507
-
508
- ```c
509
- // Safe to call from multiple threads
510
- for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
511
- pthread_t thread;
512
- pthread_create(&thread, NULL, extract_worker, (void*)(intptr_t)i);
513
- }
514
- ```
515
-
516
- ### Pointer Validation
517
-
518
- The FFI layer validates all input pointers:
519
-
520
- ```c
521
- // Safe: NULL pointers are handled gracefully
522
- ExtractionResult result = kreuzberg_extract_file(NULL, NULL, "{}");
523
- // Returns error in result.error
524
-
525
- // Safe: Invalid paths return errors
526
- ExtractionResult result = kreuzberg_extract_file("/nonexistent", NULL, "{}");
527
- // Returns error in result.error
528
- ```
529
-
530
- ### Memory Lifetime
531
-
532
- - **Returned strings** must be freed with `kreuzberg_free_string()`
533
- - **Result structs** must be freed with appropriate cleanup functions
534
- - **Input parameters** are copied internally; caller retains ownership
535
-
536
- ```c
537
- // Correct: Free returned values
538
- char* mime = kreuzberg_detect_mime_type("file.pdf", true);
539
- kreuzberg_free_string(mime);
540
-
541
- // Correct: Input paths can be freed immediately after call
542
- {
543
- char path[256];
544
- snprintf(path, sizeof(path), "document.pdf");
545
- ExtractionResult result = kreuzberg_extract_file(path, NULL, "{}");
546
- // path can be freed here; FFI has already copied it
547
- }
548
-
549
- // Correct: Free result structures
550
- ExtractionResult result = kreuzberg_extract_file("doc.pdf", NULL, "{}");
551
- // ... use result ...
552
- kreuzberg_free_extraction_result(result);
553
- ```
554
-
555
- ### Error Handling Pattern
556
-
557
- ```c
558
- ExtractionResult result = kreuzberg_extract_file(path, NULL, config);
559
-
560
- // Check return value first
561
- if (result.error != NULL) {
562
- fprintf(stderr, "FFI Error: %s\n", result.error);
563
- kreuzberg_free_extraction_result(result);
564
- return;
565
- }
566
-
567
- // Process successful result
568
- printf("Content: %s\n", result.content);
569
- printf("MIME: %s\n", result.mime_type);
570
-
571
- // Always cleanup
572
- kreuzberg_free_extraction_result(result);
573
- ```
574

575
- ## Building from C
576
-
577
- ### Static Linking
578
-
579
- ```bash
580
- # Build the library
581
- cargo build --release -p kreuzberg-ffi
582
-
583
- # Create your C program
584
- gcc -c -o myapp.o myapp.c
585
-
586
- # Link statically
587
- gcc -o myapp myapp.o \
588
- -L/path/to/kreuzberg/target/release \
589
- -l:libkreuzberg_ffi.a \
590
- -pthread -ldl # May need additional system libs
591
-
592
- # Run
593
- ./myapp
594
- ```
595
-
596
- ### Dynamic Linking
597
-
598
- ```bash
599
- # Build the library
600
- cargo build --release -p kreuzberg-ffi
601
-
602
- # Create your C program
603
- gcc -c -o myapp.o myapp.c
604
-
605
- # Link dynamically
606
- gcc -o myapp myapp.o \
607
- -L/path/to/kreuzberg/target/release \
608
- -lkreuzberg_ffi
609
-
610
- # Set library path and run
611
- export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/path/to/kreuzberg/target/release:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
612
- ./myapp
613
- ```
614
-
615
- ### macOS Considerations
616
-
617
- ```bash
618
- # Build
619
- cargo build --release -p kreuzberg-ffi
620
-
621
- # Link
622
- gcc -o myapp myapp.o \
623
- -L/path/to/kreuzberg/target/release \
624
- -lkreuzberg_ffi
625
-
626
- # Set runtime path
627
- export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/path/to/kreuzberg/target/release:$DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH
628
- ./myapp
629
- ```
630
-
631
- ## Language Binding Integration
632
-
633
- ### Java Integration (Panama FFI)
634
-
635
- The FFI is wrapped in Java 25's Foreign Function & Memory API:
636
-
637
- ```java
638
- // Java code that calls FFI
639
- Arena arena = Arena.ofConfined();
640
- MemorySegment path = arena.allocateUtf8String("document.pdf");
641
- MemorySegment config = arena.allocateUtf8String("{}");
642
-
643
- ExtractionResult result = KreuzbergFFI.extract_file(path, MemorySegment.NULL, config);
644
- ```
645
-
646
- ### Go Integration (cgo)
647
-
648
- The FFI is exposed through cgo bindings:
649
-
650
- ```go
651
- // Go code that calls FFI
652
- C.kreuzberg_extract_file(C.CString("document.pdf"), nil, C.CString("{}"))
653
- ```
654
-
655
- ### C# Integration (P/Invoke)
656
-
657
- The FFI is declared in C# through P/Invoke:
658
-
659
- ```csharp
660
- [DllImport("kreuzberg_ffi", CharSet = CharSet.Ansi)]
661
- private static extern IntPtr kreuzberg_extract_file(
662
- string path,
663
- string mimeType,
664
- string configJson
665
- );
666
- ```
667
-
668
- ## Supported Features
669
-
670
- ### Default Features
671
- - `html`: HTML to Markdown conversion support
672
- - `embeddings`: Text embedding extraction via fastembed-rs (requires ONNX Runtime - must be installed separately)
673
-
674
- ### System Requirements for Embeddings
675
-
676
- If using the `embeddings` feature, ONNX Runtime must be installed on the system:
677
-
678
- ```bash
679
- # macOS
680
- brew install onnxruntime
681
-
682
- # Ubuntu/Debian
683
- sudo apt install libonnxruntime libonnxruntime-dev
684
-
685
- # Windows (MSVC)
686
- scoop install onnxruntime
687
- # OR download from https://github.com/microsoft/onnxruntime/releases
688
- ```
689
-
690
- Without ONNX Runtime, embeddings functionality will raise errors at runtime.
691
-
692
- ### Core Feature (Windows MinGW Compatibility)
693
- - `core`: Minimal feature set for cross-platform compatibility
694
- - Includes: `html` (HTML to Markdown conversion)
695
- - Excludes: `embeddings` (ONNX Runtime not available on MinGW)
696
- - Use case: Windows Go bindings with MinGW toolchain
697
-
698
- ### Platform-Specific Build Requirements
699
-
700
- **Windows MinGW (Go bindings):**
701
-
702
- The Windows ONNX Runtime library only provides MSVC-compatible .lib files. MinGW cannot link against these, requiring the core feature:
703
-
704
- ```bash
705
- # Windows MinGW - Use core feature
706
- cargo build --release -p kreuzberg-ffi --target x86_64-pc-windows-gnu --no-default-features --features core
707
-
708
- # Windows MSVC - Full features available
709
- cargo build --release -p kreuzberg-ffi --target x86_64-pc-windows-msvc
710
-
711
- # Unix (Linux/macOS) - Full features available
712
- cargo build --release -p kreuzberg-ffi
713
- ```
714
-
715
- **Why MinGW Requires core Feature:**
716
- - ONNX Runtime distributes Windows binaries compiled with MSVC toolchain
717
- - MSVC .lib files use different name mangling and linking conventions than MinGW
718
- - MinGW's GNU toolchain cannot consume MSVC import libraries
719
- - The `core` feature excludes the `embeddings` dependency, which depends on ort-sys (ONNX Runtime)
720
- - HTML support (via html-to-markdown-rs) is pure Rust and works on all platforms
721
-
722
- ### Building with Features
723
-
724
- ```bash
725
- # Build with HTML and embeddings support (default)
726
- cargo build --release -p kreuzberg-ffi
727
-
728
- # Build with core feature only (Windows MinGW compatibility)
729
- cargo build --release -p kreuzberg-ffi --no-default-features --features core
730
-
731
- # Build without any features (minimal FFI)
732
- cargo build --release -p kreuzberg-ffi --no-default-features
733
- ```
734
-
735
- ## Performance Characteristics
736
-
737
- - **Single extraction**: 10-100ms (varies by file size and format)
738
- - **Batch processing**: Near-linear scaling with CPU cores
739
- - **OCR processing**: 100-500ms per page
740
- - **Memory overhead**: ~2-5MB per extraction operation
741
- - **Thread safety**: Zero synchronization overhead on single-threaded extraction
742
-
743
- ## Key Files
744
-
745
- - `src/lib.rs`: FFI function implementations and plugin system
746
- - `Cargo.toml`: Dependencies and features
747
- - Generated header: Auto-created by cbindgen during build
748
-
749
- ## Building
750
-
751
- ### Development Build
752
-
753
- ```bash
754
- cargo build -p kreuzberg-ffi
755
- ```
756
-
757
- ### Release Build
758
-

760
- cargo build --release -p kreuzberg-ffi
761
- ```
762
-
763
- ### With All Features
764
-
765
- ```bash
766
- cargo build --release -p kreuzberg-ffi --features html,embeddings
767
- ```
768
-
769
- ## Testing
770
-
771
- ```bash
772
- # Run FFI tests
773
- cargo test -p kreuzberg-ffi
774
-
775
- # With logging
776
- RUST_LOG=debug cargo test -p kreuzberg-ffi -- --nocapture
777
- ```
778
-
779
- ## Troubleshooting
780
-
781
- ### Library Not Found
782
-
783
- Ensure the built library is in the linker search path:
784
-
785
- ```bash
786
- # Check for built libraries
787
- ls -la target/release/libkreuzberg_ffi*
788
-
789
- # Add to library path
790
- export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=target/release:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
791
- export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=target/release:$DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH # macOS
792
- ```
793
-
794
- ### Undefined Reference Errors
795
-
796
- Ensure you're linking against the FFI library, not the core library:
797
-
798
- ```bash
799
- # Correct
800
- gcc -o app app.c -lkreuzberg_ffi
801
-
802
- # Incorrect
803
- gcc -o app app.c -lkreuzberg # Wrong library
804
- ```
805
-
806
- ### Memory Leaks
807
-
808
- Always free returned strings and result structures:
809
-
810
- ```c
811
- // Problem: Memory leak
812
- char* mime = kreuzberg_detect_mime_type("file.pdf", true);
813
- printf("%s\n", mime);
814
- // mime not freed!
815
-
816
- // Solution: Free the string
817
- char* mime = kreuzberg_detect_mime_type("file.pdf", true);
818
- printf("%s\n", mime);
819
- kreuzberg_free_string(mime);
820
- ```
821
-
822
- ### Thread-Local Error Messages
823
-
824
- Each thread has its own error message storage. Check both return values and `kreuzberg_get_last_error()`:
825
-
826
- ```c
827
- // Safe across threads
828
- #pragma omp parallel for
829
- for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
830
- ExtractionResult result = kreuzberg_extract_file(files[i], NULL, "{}");
831
- if (result.error) {
832
- printf("Thread %d error: %s\n", i, result.error);
833
- }
834
- }
835
- ```
