# Ream

> Ream (npm: `reamkit`) is a zero-I/O TypeScript library that reads Word, Excel, PowerPoint and PDF — including the legacy binary .doc / .xls / .ppt — and converts any of them to PDF, SVG, HTML, DOCX or XLSX. It runs in the browser, Node and edge runtimes, implemented directly from the ECMA-376 and ISO 32000 specifications, without wrapping LibreOffice, headless Office or any commercial SDK.

Typical use:

```ts
import { Ream } from 'reamkit';
const doc = Ream.parse(bytes); // format sniffed from the bytes
const pdf = await doc.convert('pdf'); // one parse, any target
```

- Input and output are always `Uint8Array` — no file-system or network access on the conversion path (zero I/O).
- Output targets: `pdf`, `svg`, `html`, `docx`, `xlsx` (xlsx output requires a spreadsheet source).
- Conversions never fail silently: each returns a loss report; `strict: true` throws on the first loss instead.
