•
Smart data type detection: Automatically identifies and converts data types including numbers, booleans, and text. Preserves original data formatting while ensuring proper type conversion for analysis and export.
•
Structure validation: Validates table structure and provides feedback on any issues found. Handles malformed HTML gracefully and extracts data even from imperfect table markup.
