This parser sets the following output metadata entries:

HttpHeaders.CONTENT_TYPE

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
