  org.apache.tika.parser.AbstractParser
      org.apache.tika.parser.txt.TXTParser

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Parser

public class TXTParser
extends AbstractParser

Plain text parser. The text encoding of the document stream is automatically detected based on the byte patterns found at the beginning of the stream. The input metadata key HttpHeaders.CONTENT_ENCODING is used as an encoding hint if the automatic encoding detection fails.

This parser sets the following output metadata entries:

HttpHeaders.CONTENT_TYPE

text/plain

HttpHeaders.CONTENT_ENCODING

The detected text encoding of the document.

HttpHeaders.CONTENT_LANGUAGE and DublinCore.LANGUAGE

parse

public void parse(InputStream stream,
                  ContentHandler handler,
                  Metadata metadata,
                  ParseContext context)
           throws IOException,
                  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.

Parameters:

stream - the document stream (input)

handler - handler for the XHTML SAX events (output)

metadata - document metadata (input and output)

context - parse context

Throws:

IOException - if the document stream could not be read

SAXException - if the SAX events could not be processed

TikaException - if the document could not be parsed
