Decouple Parser from ParserConfig
---------------------------------
Key: TIKA-23
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-23
Project: Tika
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: general
Reporter: Jukka Zitting
Assignee: Jukka Zitting
Priority: Minor
Instead of starting from scratch with the new Parser interface design I
proposed on the mailing list, I'd like to work from the current codebase,
iteratively refactoring it.
The first problem I see with the current Parser design is the tight coupling
with the ParserConfig (and even LiusConfig) classes. Config objects are used
both by ParserFactory when creating the parser instances and by the parser
objects when parsing content. In fact the parser classes even use the
ParserConfig instances as containers of parsed content.
This coupling makes it quite difficult to apply any structural changes to the
parser classes, so as a first step I'd like to propose a change that breaks
this coupling.
