Overview

MarkItDown makes it easy for developers to parse documents in varying formats. This is useful for a variety of scenarios, including AI data ingestion.

Provide an integration to make it easier to set up and use in Aspire.

The integration is dependent on microsoft/markitdown#133

Usage example

builder.AddMarkItDown(name: "doc-processor");

Just to confirm - this would be a hosting integration that would use a docker hosted version of MarkItDown and expose it via a REST endpoint right?

[luisquintanilla]

Correct.

Once MarkItDown has a public container image, the Aspire integration would simplify the process of configuring it inside an Aspire project.

I expect the surface area of the REST API to be relatively minimal so the HttpClient should be fairly simple to create. Not sure how much a client integration would add here.
