Class TextDetector
java.lang.Object
org.apache.tika.detect.TextDetector
- All Implemented Interfaces:
- Detector
public class TextDetector
- extends java.lang.Object
- implements Detector
Content type detection of plain text documents. This detector looks at the
beginning of the document input stream and considers the document to be
a text document if no ASCII (ISO-Latin-1, UTF-8, etc.) control bytes are
found.
Note that text documents with a character encoding like UTF-16 are better
detected with MagicDetector
and an appropriate magic byte pattern.
- Since:
- Apache Tika 0.3
