amazon-textract-response-parser
Easily parse JSON returned by Amazon Textract.
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, if you are actively using Amazon Textract and need structured Python objects to work with its JSON responses. The low install friction and permissive license make it a practical choice. However, dormant maintenance (no release since 2024-06-13) means you should verify that pipeline components and schema support match your Textract API version before relying on it for production workflows.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires an active Amazon Textract API call or pre-existing Textract JSON response dict; boto3 must be configured with AWS credentials.
- Low friction install with two stable runtime dependencies (boto3, marshmallow).
- Maintenance is dormant—last commit was 2024-11-19 but no release since 2024-06-13, so expect no active bug fixes or feature updates.

What it is and what it does
This package deserializes and serializes Amazon Textract OCR JSON responses into strongly-typed Python objects using marshmallow schemas. It provides two main layers: a serializer/deserializer for converting raw Textract JSON into TDocument objects, and a pipeline module with reusable components that modify or enrich the response structure—such as reordering blocks by page geometry, calculating page orientation in degrees, merging or linking multi-page tables, and adding OCR confidence scores to key-value pairs.
The library is designed to integrate into existing Textract workflows without requiring major refactoring. It supports both standard Textract responses and AnalyzeId responses, and includes a command-line tool for testing pipeline components. Runtime dependencies are boto3 (for AWS SDK integration) and marshmallow (for schema validation and serialization).
Use it for
- Deserialize Textract JSON into typed Python objects for downstream document processing or analysis pipelines.
- Reorder OCR blocks by vertical position to reconstruct natural reading order when Textract returns unordered results.
- Detect and correct page rotation by calculating orientation degrees from word and line geometry.
- Merge or link tables that span multiple pages while preserving or enriching geometric accuracy.
- Extract OCR confidence scores for key-value pairs to validate form field extraction quality.
- Build batch processing workflows that transform raw Textract responses into standardized document representations.
