UDF CLI

Overview

UDF is the document format used by UYAP (Turkey's National Judiciary Informatics System — the unified IT system connecting all Turkish courts). It's a ZIP archive containing content.xml with text, formatting, images, and tables in a custom XML schema.

This CLI tool converts UDF files to HTML and Markdown — and vice versa. The udf2md command is particularly useful for AI agents that need to read court documents.

Commands

• udf-cli html2udf — Convert HTML to UDF
• udf-cli udf2html — Convert UDF to HTML
• udf-cli md2udf — Convert Markdown to UDF
• udf-cli udf2md — Convert UDF to Markdown (ideal for AI agents)
