I had been assuming that I could choose among possible tika output
formats when using the extracting request handler in extract-only mode
as if from the CLI with the tika jar:
-x or --xml Output XHTML content (default)
-h or --html Output HTML content
-t or --text Output plain text content
-m or --metadata Output only metadata
However, looking at the docs and source, it seems that only the xml
option is available (hard-coded) in ExtractingDocumentLoader:
serializer = new XMLSerializer(writer, new OutputFormat("XML", "UTF-8", true));
In addition, it seems that the metadata is always appended to the response.
Are there any open issues relating to this, or opinions on whether
adding additional flexibility to the response format would be of
interest for 1.4?
Thanks,
Peter
