## When it is useful

Convert data files with DuckDB (CSV, Parquet, JSON, Excel, GeoJSON). Generic convert steal vs pandoc/ffmpeg. Data files only, not documents or video.

## The Catch

Generic convert steal (pandoc/ffmpeg). Data files only. Distinct from duckdb-read-file. Local OSS 0 USD, no key.
