org.apache.tika.parser.mail.RFC822Parser

All Implemented Interfaces:

Method Details

getSupportedTypes

public 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.

Parameters:

context - parse context

Returns:

immutable set of media types

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

setExtractAllAlternatives

public void setExtractAllAlternatives(boolean extractAllAlternatives)

Until version 1.17, Tika handled all body parts as embedded objects (see TIKA-2478). In 1.17, we modified the parser to select only the best alternative body parts for multipart/alternative sections, and we inline the content as we do for .msg files.

The legacy behavior can be set by setting extractAllAlternatives to true. As of 1.17, the default value is false

Parameters:

extractAllAlternatives - whether or not to extract all alternative parts

Since:

1.17
