## Values

| Name                          | Value | Description                                                                                                                                                                                                |
| ----------------------------- | ----- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `VisionOutputFormat.JSON`     | `0`   | Structured JSON with elements sorted by reading order (default). Contains paragraph text, tables, key-value regions, word-level coordinates, and per-page metadata.                                        |
| `VisionOutputFormat.MARKDOWN` | `1`   | Markdown text optimized for human reading and LLM consumption. Uses standard markdown primitives (headings, paragraphs, tables, blockquotes for footnotes). Loses structural information like coordinates. |
| `VisionOutputFormat.IR_LITE`  | `2`   | IR Lite intermediate representation optimized for LLM position retrieval. Preserves spatial coordinates with a compact token-efficient format.                                                             |

## Usage Example

```python

from nutrient_sdk import VisionOutputFormat

# Access enum values

value = VisionOutputFormat.JSON
print(f"Value: {value}")  # Output: Value: VisionOutputFormat.JSON

print(f"Integer value: {value.value}")  # Output: Integer value: 0

```
