  <h1>Apple iPhone 15 128GB</h1>
  <span class="price">$799.00</span>
  <div class="rating">4.7</div>
</article>
```

When you need every link, every tag, every attribute.

### Markdown

```
# Apple iPhone 15 128GB

**Price:** $799.00
**Rating:** 4.7 / 5
**In stock:** yes

[Buy now](/cart/add/iphone-15)
```

When the LLM is the reader. Less noise, more signal.

### JSON

```
{
  "title": "Apple iPhone 15 128GB",
  "price": "$799.00",
  "rating": "4.7",
  "availability": "In stock"
}
```

When you need fields without a schema. Extract's autoparse mode adapts to any site's layout.

### Screenshot

When you need to see, not just read.

### Plain text

```
Apple iPhone 15 128GB
Price: $799.00
Rating: 4.7 / 5
In stock: yes
Buy now: /cart/add/iphone-15
```

When tokens are expensive.
