Summary
LlamaIndex has introduced a Document Parsing Protocol, described in its blog post and in a Hacker News discussion, that sets out 140 rules for what a correctly parsed page should look like. The source material is limited to the headline and a note that the Hacker News thread had 2 points and 0 comments, so the details of the rules themselves are not included here. The protocol is aimed at document parsing, the step where text and structure are extracted from documents before they are passed to language models. The post is presented as an introduction to the protocol, so it appears to be a new published standard rather than an update to an existing one.

Why it matters
Developers building retrieval or document pipelines on open source LLM tooling may find a shared set of parsing rules useful for checking output quality. Teams would need to read the full protocol to judge which rules apply to their documents and whether they can be tested automatically. Early attention is still small, so it is worth watching whether the protocol gets adopted or revised.
