- Complete API documentation

### Technical Details

#### Architecture
- Clean separation of concerns (Loader → Service → Models)
- Dataclass-based models for performance
- Dependency injection for testability
- Comprehensive error hierarchy

#### Performance
- Efficient memory usage
- Configurable processing options
- Parallel processing support (batch operations)
- Optional OCR for faster processing

#### Testing
- 32 unit tests covering all components
- Integration tests with mocked dependencies
- 96%+ code coverage
- Performance and memory usage tests

#### Documentation
- English and Japanese README files
- API reference documentation
- Configuration guide
- Installation instructions
- Testing guide
- Architecture documentation

### Dependencies
- Python 3.10+
- Docling >= 1.0.0 (for document processing)
- Standard library only (no heavy dependencies)

### Compatibility
- Cross-platform (Windows, macOS, Linux)
- Python 3.10, 3.11, 3.12
- Virtual environment support with uv and pip

### Configuration Options
- Export format selection (Markdown/Text/JSON)
- Chunk size configuration (100-4096 characters)
- OCR enable/disable toggle
- Table structure preservation toggle
- Custom processing options

### Error Handling
- `DoclingLoaderError`: Base exception class
- `FileFormatNotSupportedError`: Unsupported file formats
- `DocumentProcessingError`: Processing failures
- `ConfigurationError`: Invalid configuration

### Performance Characteristics
- Processing time: ~1-5 seconds per document (varies by size and complexity)
- Memory usage: Scales with document size
- Batch processing: Handles failures gracefully
- OCR overhead: Significant for image-heavy documents

## Development Notes

### Version 0.1.0 Development Process
1. Requirements analysis and Docling research
