Example of how to use Tika to parse an file when you do not know its file type ahead of time. AutoDetectParser attempts to discover the file's type automatically, then call the exact Parser built for that file type. The stream to be parsed by the Parser. In this case, we get a file from the resources folder of this project. Handlers are used to get the exact information you want out of the host of information gathered by Parsers. The body content handler, intuitively, extracts everything that would go between HTML body tags. The Metadata object will be filled by the Parser with Metadata discovered about the file being parsed.

Returns:

The content of a file.

Throws:

IOException

SAXException

TikaException
