Nutrient Document Engine

Self-hosted, on-premises document processing server. Provides the same core operations as Nutrient DWS but runs in the user's own infrastructure. Also backs the Nutrient Web SDK's server-backed mode — handling persistent annotation storage and Nutrient Instant real-time collaboration.
