Ivan Ryndin commented on TIKA-1513: ----------------------------------- There are no reliable ways to detect codepage of DBF files. I haven't met DBF specs where codepage is somehow specified with some special byte. The only way to determine codepage is trial and error. --- Possibly there can be one interesting approach to detect codepage similar to that used in language detection. This is statistics based approach. I mean n-gram based language detection methods. I haven't met any ready-to-use framework to detect codepage this way. However, not sure it is worth implementing. > Add mime detection and parsing for dbf files > -------------------------------------------- > > Key: TIKA-1513 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-1513 > Project: Tika > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Tim Allison > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 1.8 > > > I just came across an Apache licensed dbf parser that is available on > [maven|https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/jamel/dbf/dbf-reader/0.1.0/dbf-reader-0.1.0.pom]. > Let's add dbf parsing to Tika. > Any other recommendations for alternate parsers? -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
