Automatic Format Detection

Pandia automatically detects the format of your data based on:

  • File extension - First checks the file extension (.json, .yaml, etc.)
  • Content patterns - Analyzes the content structure if extension is unknown
  • Fallback parsing - Tries all parsers if detection fails
