org.apache.tika.parser.strings

Class Latin1StringsParser

java.lang.Object

org.apache.tika.parser.AbstractParser

org.apache.tika.parser.strings.Latin1StringsParser

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, org.apache.tika.parser.Parser

public class Latin1StringsParser
extends org.apache.tika.parser.AbstractParser

Parser to extract printable Latin1 strings from arbitrary files with pure java without running any external process. Useful for binary or unknown files, for files without a specific parser and for corrupted ones causing a TikaException as a fallback parser. To enable the parsing of unknown or files without a specific parser with AutoDetectParser:

AutoDetectParser parser = new AutoDetectParser(); parser.setFallback(new Latin1StringsParser());

Currently the parser does a best effort to extract Latin1 strings, used by Western European languages, encoded with ISO-8859-1, UTF-8 or UTF-16 charsets mixed within the same file.

The implementation is optimized for fast parsing with only one pass.
