Markus Jelsma commented on TIKA-1599: ------------------------------------- On topic, our parser on top of Tika relies on a custom ContentHandler implementation. We (my company) would not be too happy if we would have to rewrite the whole thing. Same goes for Apache Nutch. > Switch from TagSoup to JSoup > ---------------------------- > > Key: TIKA-1599 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-1599 > Project: Tika > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: parser > Affects Versions: 1.7, 1.8 > Reporter: Ken Krugler > Assignee: Ken Krugler > Priority: Minor > Attachments: TIKA-1599-crazy-files.tar.gz, consumentenbond.html, > tagsoup_vs_jsoup_reports.zip > > > There are several Tika issues related to how TagSoup cleans up HTML > ([TIKA-381], [TIKA-985], maybe [TIKA-715]), but TagSoup doesn't seem to be > under active development. > On the other hand I know of several projects that are now using > [JSoup|https://github.com/jhy/jsoup], which is an active project (albeit only > one main contributor) under the MIT license. > I haven't looked into how hard it would be to switch this dependency. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
