Overview

Package tika provides a client and server for downloading, starting, and using Apache Tika's (http://tika.apache.org) Server.

Start with basic imports:

import "github.com/google/go-tika/tika"

You will need a running Server to make API calls to. So, if you don't have a server that is already running and you don't have the Server JAR already downloaded, you can download one. The caller is responsible for removing the file when no longer needed.

err := tika.DownloadServer(context.Background(), "1.16", "tika-server-1.16.jar")
if err != nil {
	log.Fatal(err)
}

If you don't have a running Tika Server, you can start one.

// Optionally pass a port as the second argument.
s, err := tika.NewServer("tika-server-1.16.jar", "")
if err != nil {
	log.Fatal(err)
}
err := s.Start(context.Background())
if err != nil {
	log.Fatal(err)
}
defer s.Stop()

To parse the contents of a file (or any io.Reader), you will need to open the io.Reader, create a client, and call client.Parse.

// import "os"
f, err := os.Open("path/to/file")
if err != nil {
	log.Fatal(err)
}
defer f.Close()

client := tika.NewClient(nil, s.URL())
body, err := client.Parse(context.Background(), f)

If you pass an *http.Client to tika.NewClient, it will be used for all requests.

Some functions return a custom type, like Parsers(), Detectors(), and MIMETypes(). Use these to see what features are supported by the current Tika server.

Constants

const XTIKAContent = "X-TIKA:content"

XTIKAContent is the metadata field of the content of a file after recursive parsing. See ParseRecursive and MetaRecursive.

Variables

Functions

func DownloadServer

func DownloadServer(ctx context.Context, v Version, path string) error

DownloadServer downloads and validates the given server version, saving it at path. DownloadServer returns an error if it could not be downloaded/validated.

func NewServer(jar, port string) (*Server, error)

NewServer creates a new Server. The default port is 9998.

func (*Server) ChildMode

func (s *Server) ChildMode(ops *ChildOptions) error

ChildMode sets up the server to use the -spawnChild option. If used, ChildMode must be called before starting the server. If you want to turn off the -spawnChild option, call Server.ChildMode(nil).

func (*Server) Shutdown

func (s *Server) Shutdown(ctx context.Context) error

Shutdown attempts to close the server gracefully before using SIGKILL, Stop() uses SIGKILL right away, which causes the kernal to stop the java process instantly.

func (*Server) Start

func (s *Server) Start(ctx context.Context) error

Start starts the given server. Start will start a new Java process. The caller must call Stop() to shut down the process when finished with the Server. Start will wait for the server to be available or until ctx is cancelled.

func (*Server) Stop

func (s *Server) Stop() error

Stop shuts the server down, killing the underlying Java process. Stop must be called when finished with the server to avoid leaking the Java process. If s has not been started, Stop will panic. If not running in a Windows environment, it is recommended to use Shutdown for a more graceful shutdown of the Java process.

func (*Server) URL

func (s *Server) URL() string

URL returns the URL of this Server.

type Translator

type Translator string

Translator represents the Java package of a Tika Translator.

const (

)

Translators available by defult in Tika. You must configure all required authentication details in Tika Server (for example, an API key).

type Version

type Version string

A Version represents a Tika Server version.

const (
	Version119 Version = "1.19"
	Version120 Version = "1.20"
