      Specified by:

    • 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.

      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:
      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
