Class HtmlParser

java.lang.Object
  org.apache.tika.parser.html.HtmlParser

All Implemented Interfaces:

Parser

public class HtmlParser
extends java.lang.Object
implements Parser

HTML parser. Uses TagSoup to turn the input document to HTML SAX events, and post-processes the events to produce XHTML and metadata expected by Tika clients.

Constructor Summary

HtmlParser()

Method Summary

java.util.Set<MediaType>	getSupportedTypes(ParseContext context) Returns the set of media types supported by this parser when used with the given parse context.
protected boolean	isDiscardElement(java.lang.String name) Deprecated. Use the HtmlMapper mechanism to customize the HTML mapping. This method will be removed in Tika 1.0.
protected java.lang.String	mapSafeElement(java.lang.String name) Deprecated. Use the HtmlMapper mechanism to customize the HTML mapping. This method will be removed in Tika 1.0.
void	parse(java.io.InputStream stream, org.xml.sax.ContentHandler handler, Metadata metadata) Deprecated. This method will be removed in Apache Tika 1.0.
void	parse(java.io.InputStream stream, org.xml.sax.ContentHandler handler, Metadata metadata, ParseContext context) Parses a document stream into a sequence of XHTML SAX events.

Method Detail

getSupportedTypes

public java.util.Set<MediaType> getSupportedTypes(ParseContext context)

Description copied from interface: Parser

Returns the set of media types supported by this parser when used with the given parse context.

Specified by:

getSupportedTypes in interface Parser

Parameters:

context - parse context

Returns:

immutable set of media types

parse

public void parse(java.io.InputStream stream,
                  org.xml.sax.ContentHandler handler,
                  Metadata metadata,
                  ParseContext context)
           throws java.io.IOException,
                  org.xml.sax.SAXException,
                  TikaException

Description copied from interface: Parser

Parses a document stream into a sequence of XHTML SAX events. Fills in related document metadata in the given metadata object.

The given document stream is consumed but not closed by this method. The responsibility to close the stream remains on the caller.

Information about the parsing context can be passed in the context parameter. See the parser implementations for the kinds of context information they expect.

Specified by:

parse in interface Parser

Parameters:

stream - the document stream (input)

handler - handler for the XHTML SAX events (output)

metadata - document metadata (input and output)

context - parse context

Throws:

java.io.IOException - if the document stream could not be read

org.xml.sax.SAXException - if the SAX events could not be processed

TikaException - if the document could not be parsed

parse

public void parse(java.io.InputStream stream,
                  org.xml.sax.ContentHandler handler,
                  Metadata metadata)
           throws java.io.IOException,
                  org.xml.sax.SAXException,
                  TikaException

Deprecated. This method will be removed in Apache Tika 1.0.

Description copied from interface: Parser

The parse() method from Tika 0.4 and earlier. Please use the Parser.parse(InputStream, ContentHandler, Metadata, ParseContext) method instead in new code. Calls to this backwards compatibility method are forwarded to the new parse() method with an empty parse context.

Specified by:

parse in interface Parser

Throws:

java.io.IOException

org.xml.sax.SAXException

TikaException

mapSafeElement

protected java.lang.String mapSafeElement(java.lang.String name)

Deprecated. Use the HtmlMapper mechanism to customize the HTML mapping. This method will be removed in Tika 1.0.

Maps "safe" HTML element names to semantic XHTML equivalents. If the given element is unknown or deemed unsafe for inclusion in the parse output, then this method returns null and the element will be ignored but the content inside it is still processed. See the isDiscardElement(String) method for a way to discard the entire contents of an element.

Subclasses can override this method to customize the default mapping.

Parameters:

name - HTML element name (upper case)

Returns:

XHTML element name (lower case), or null if the element is unsafe

Since:

Apache Tika 0.5

isDiscardElement

protected boolean isDiscardElement(java.lang.String name)

Deprecated. Use the HtmlMapper mechanism to customize the HTML mapping. This method will be removed in Tika 1.0.

Checks whether all content within the given HTML element should be discarded instead of including it in the parse output. Subclasses can override this method to customize the set of discarded elements.

Parameters:

name - HTML element name (upper case)

Returns:

true if content inside the named element should be ignored, false otherwise

Since:

Apache Tika 0.5
