Class StandardHtmlEncodingDetector

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

public final class StandardHtmlEncodingDetector extends Object implements EncodingDetector
Full WHATWG prescan charset detector for HTML: HTTP Content-Type header → <meta charset> / <meta http-equiv> tag, per https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/parsing.html#the-input-byte-stream.

BOM detection is not performed here; BOMDetector handles that as a separate, earlier step in the detector chain.

Opt-in: register explicitly in a <encodingDetectors> config to use this detector in place of the lenient HtmlEncodingDetector default.

    • detect

      public List<EncodingResult> detect(TikaInputStream tis, Metadata metadata, ParseContext context) 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
      context - 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
    • getMarkLimit

      public int getMarkLimit()
    • setMarkLimit

      public void setMarkLimit(int markLimit)
      How far into the stream to scan for a <meta charset> declaration. Default is 65536 bytes.
