# Exporters
Beyond HTML, docs-builder exports documentation in several data-oriented formats. These exporters are what make "docs as data" concrete — the same content that renders as web pages can also be indexed for search, served to AI agents, or packaged for knowledge systems.
<note>
  This is not an exhaustive list of all internal exporters. These are the formats most relevant to consuming documentation as structured data.
</note>


### [Elasticsearch](https://docs-v3-preview.elastic.dev/docs-builder/data/exporters/elasticsearch)

Indexes documentation pages into Elasticsearch as structured documents. Powers the search infrastructure behind the docs site, the [MCP server](https://docs-v3-preview.elastic.dev/docs-builder/data/mcp), and the [REST API](https://docs-v3-preview.elastic.dev/docs-builder/data/api).

### [LLM Markdown](https://docs-v3-preview.elastic.dev/docs-builder/data/exporters/llm)

Per-page LLM-optimized CommonMark served alongside HTML via content negotiation. Enabled by default — agents requesting `text/markdown` get token-efficient Markdown instead of HTML.

### [OKF](https://docs-v3-preview.elastic.dev/docs-builder/data/exporters/okf)

An [Open Knowledge Format](https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/knowledge-catalog/blob/main/okf/SPEC.md) zip bundle with bundle-relative links and synthesized directory indexes. Designed for knowledge base interchange between platforms.

### [Plain Text](https://docs-v3-preview.elastic.dev/docs-builder/data/exporters/plain-text)

Stripped-down plain text with all formatting removed. Used internally by other exporters (notably Elasticsearch) for search indexing.
