The framework manages streaming state, buffers partial responses, and provides hooks for processing streamed content before final output, enabling responsive user experiences without waiting for complete agent responses.
Unique: Implements lightweight streaming response handler that integrates with agent execution pipeline, enabling token-by-token output without requiring separate streaming infrastructure or complex async management
vs alternatives: More integrated into agent workflow than generic streaming libraries, but less feature-rich than full streaming frameworks like LangChain's streaming chains
Manages agent execution state including current task, tool results, and reasoning chain within isolated execution contexts. Each agent maintains its own state namespace, preventing cross-agent interference while enabling state inspection and debugging. The framework tracks execution flow, maintains execution logs, and provides state snapshots for monitoring and troubleshooting.
Unique: Provides lightweight execution context isolation per agent with built-in logging and state tracking, enabling developers to inspect agent behavior without external debugging tools
vs alternatives: Simpler than full observability platforms but integrated directly into agent execution, providing immediate visibility without additional infrastructure
Formats agent responses into structured outputs with consistent formatting, enabling downstream processing and integration. The framework supports multiple output formats (JSON, plain text, markdown), validates response structure against expected schemas, and provides formatting hooks for customizing agent output before delivery to users or downstream systems.
Unique: Provides lightweight response formatting with optional schema validation, enabling agents to produce structured outputs without requiring separate serialization layers
vs alternatives: More integrated into agent workflow than generic formatting libraries, but less comprehensive than full data validation frameworks

Automatically loads and parses documents from diverse sources (PDFs, Word docs, HTML, Markdown, code files, databases) into a unified in-memory representation using format-specific loaders and node-based document abstractions. Each document is decomposed into Document objects containing metadata, content, and relationships, enabling downstream processing without format-specific handling in application code.
Unique: Provides a unified loader abstraction (BaseReader interface) that normalizes 100+ data source connectors into a single Document/Node API, eliminating format-specific branching logic in application code. Loaders are composable and chainable, allowing sequential transformations (e.g., load → split → extract metadata → embed).
vs alternatives: Broader out-of-the-box loader coverage than LangChain's document loaders and more structured node-based decomposition than raw text splitting, reducing boilerplate for multi-source RAG pipelines.
Splits documents into semantically coherent chunks using multiple strategies (character-based, token-aware, recursive, semantic) with configurable overlap and chunk size. Preserves document hierarchy and metadata through a node tree structure, enabling retrieval systems to maintain context relationships and enable hierarchical re-ranking or parent-document retrieval patterns.
Unique: Implements a node-tree abstraction that preserves document hierarchy and enables parent-document retrieval patterns. Supports multiple splitting strategies (recursive, semantic, code-aware) with pluggable custom splitters, and automatically propagates metadata through the node tree.
vs alternatives: More sophisticated than LangChain's text splitters because it preserves hierarchical relationships and supports semantic splitting; better for complex document structures than simple character-based splitting.
LlamaIndex scores higher at 40/100 vs LiteMultiAgent at 30/100. LiteMultiAgent leads on adoption and ecosystem, while LlamaIndex is stronger on quality. However, LiteMultiAgent offers a free tier which may be better for getting started.
