public interface ContentEnricher extends Engine
A Parser a container parser invokes on bytes it has already parsed (OCR on an image, an embedding of a rendered page) rather than one the composite dispatches to; its supported types are the types it can enrich. An enricher the classpath supplied is never dispatched to. Only one that parsesDocuments() may be named under "parsers", where it also parses the types no other parser there claims. See ContentEnrichers.get(org.apache.tika.parser.enricher.CompositeContentEnricher, org.apache.tika.mime.MediaType, org.apache.tika.metadata.Metadata, org.apache.tika.parser.ParseContext).

An enricher is an Engine: configured once under "engines", a "text-recognizers" entry names it.
