+# PDF Oxide for WASM — The Fastest PDF Toolkit for Browsers, Deno, Bun & Edge
 
-Fast, zero-dependency PDF toolkit for Node.js, browsers, and serverless edge runtimes.
-Extract text, convert to markdown/HTML, search, fill forms, create and edit PDFs — all from WebAssembly.
-
-Built on the [pdf-oxide](https://github.com/yfedoseev/pdf_oxide) Rust core. No native binaries, no system dependencies.
+The fastest WebAssembly PDF library for text extraction, image extraction, and markdown conversion. Powered by a pure-Rust core compiled to WebAssembly. Runs in Node.js, browsers, Deno, Bun, and serverless edge runtimes — no native binaries, no `node-gyp`, no `postinstall`. 0.8ms mean per document, 5× faster than PyMuPDF, 15× faster than pypdf. 100% pass rate on 3,830 real-world PDFs.

-## Performance
+## Other languages
+
+PDF Oxide ships the same Rust core through six bindings:
+
+- **Rust** — `cargo add pdf_oxide` — see [docs.rs/pdf_oxide](https://docs.rs/pdf_oxide)
+- **Python** — `pip install pdf_oxide` — see [python/README.md](https://github.com/yfedoseev/pdf_oxide/blob/main/python/README.md)
+- **Go** — `go get github.com/yfedoseev/pdf_oxide/go` — see [go/README.md](https://github.com/yfedoseev/pdf_oxide/blob/main/go/README.md)
+- **JavaScript / TypeScript (Node.js native)** — `npm install pdf-oxide` — see [js/README.md](https://github.com/yfedoseev/pdf_oxide/blob/main/js/README.md)
+- **C# / .NET** — `dotnet add package PdfOxide` — see [csharp/README.md](https://github.com/yfedoseev/pdf_oxide/blob/main/csharp/README.md)
+
+A bug fix in the Rust core lands in every binding on the next release.
 
-pdf-oxide-wasm is built on a Rust PDF parser compiled to WebAssembly. The Rust core ([pdf_oxide](https://crates.io/crates/pdf_oxide)) achieves 0.8ms mean extraction time across 3,830 test PDFs with a 100% success rate — the fastest PDF text extraction library available in Rust. The WASM compilation preserves near-native performance without garbage collection overhead or child process spawning.

-Rust library documentation: [docs.rs/pdf_oxide](https://docs.rs/pdf_oxide)
+- **Browser PDF tooling** — Extract, search, and convert PDFs entirely client-side, no server upload
+- **Edge / serverless workers** — Process PDFs in Cloudflare Workers, Vercel Edge, Deno Deploy
+- **RAG / LLM pipelines** — Convert PDFs to clean Markdown for retrieval-augmented generation
+- **PDF generation** — Create invoices, reports, certificates programmatically without a backend
+- **Universal Node.js packages** — Same code runs in Node.js, the browser, and edge runtimes
+
+## Why I built this
+
+I needed PyMuPDF's speed without its AGPL license, and I needed it in more than one language. Nothing existed that ticked all three boxes — fast, MIT, multi-language — so I wrote it. The Rust core is what does the real work; the bindings for Python, Go, JS/TS, C#, and WASM are thin shells around the same code, so a bug fix in one lands in all of them. It now passes 100% of the veraPDF + Mozilla pdf.js + DARPA SafeDocs test corpora (3,830 PDFs) on every platform I've tested.
+
+If it's useful to you, a star on GitHub genuinely helps. If something's broken or missing, [open an issue](https://github.com/yfedoseev/pdf_oxide/issues) — I read all of them.
