In the field of IT, file extraction and processing refer to the process of extracting information from various types of files, such as text files, images, videos, and audio files, and then processing that information to make it usable for a specific purpose.
File extraction involves reading and parsing the data stored in a file, which could be in a variety of formats, such as PDF, CSV, XML, or JSON, among others. Once the information is extracted, it can be processed using various techniques such as data cleansing, transformation, and analysis to generate useful insights.
