Obsidian is a powerful and extensible knowledge basethat works on top of your local folder of plain text files.

This notebook covers how to load documents from anObsidian database.

SinceObsidian is just stored on disk as a folder of Markdown files, the loader just takes a path to this directory.

Obsidian files also sometimes containmetadata which is a YAML block at the top of the file. These values will be added to the document's metadata. (ObsidianLoader can also be passed acollect_metadata=False argument to disable this behavior.)
