Class HtmlEncodingDetector

java.lang.Object
org.apache.tika.parser.html.HtmlEncodingDetector
All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable, SelfConfiguring, EncodingDetector

public class HtmlEncodingDetector extends Object implements EncodingDetector
Character encoding detector for determining the character encoding of a HTML document based on the potential charset parameter found in a Content-Type http-equiv meta tag somewhere near the beginning. Especially useful for determining the type among multiple closely related encodings (ISO-8859-*) for which other types of encoding detection are unreliable.
Since:
Apache Tika 1.2

    • detect

      public List<EncodingResult> detect(TikaInputStream tis, Metadata metadata, ParseContext parseContext) throws IOException
      Description copied from interface: EncodingDetector
      Detects the character encoding of the given text document.

      Returns an empty list if the encoding cannot be determined. Returns a ranked list of candidates in descending confidence order otherwise. The first entry is always the best guess.

      If the document input stream is not available, then the first argument may be null. Otherwise the detector may read bytes from the start of the stream to help in encoding detection. The given stream is guaranteed to support the mark feature and the detector is expected to mark the stream before reading any bytes from it, and to reset the stream before returning. The stream must not be closed by the detector.

      The given input metadata is only read, not modified, by the detector.

      Specified by:
      detect in interface EncodingDetector
      Parameters:
      tis - text document input stream, or null
      metadata - input metadata for the document
      parseContext - the parse context
      Returns:
      ranked list of encoding results, empty if unknown; never null
      Throws:
      IOException - if the document input stream could not be read
