   Reducto's Extract endpoint explicitly takes a user-defined JSON schema and returns values matching that schema, with citations/bounding boxes for validation of source location, documented via docs and quickstart-style API calls.

   Unstructured's docs show two relevant capabilities: table detection with HTML output (unstructured-docs-12/27) and a structured data extractor that lets users define a target JSON schema so extracted values map directly to typed fields (unstructured-docs-3/26/34), plus a general 'consistent JSON format' output (unstructured-docs-9/29/32). This supports turning extracted tables into structured JSON, but there's no worked example specifically converting table content into typed rows/records ready for DB loading, and table output defaults to HTML markup rather than row-level JSON unless combined with the separate schema extractor. missing for 10: an explicit end-to-end example/tutorial mapping detected tables to typed row/JSON output for DB ingestion, and independent/hands-on confirmation that this pipeline avoids manual cleanup.
