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 and the given document metadata, most notably the charset parameter of a HttpHeaders.CONTENT_TYPE value.

This parser sets the following output metadata entries:

HttpHeaders.CONTENT_TYPE
text/plain; charset=...

public void parse(InputStream stream,
                  ContentHandler handler,
                  Metadata metadata,

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
