Tika on .NET

The project provides a .NET wrapper with simple helper functions around the Tika text extraction library. To use the Tika Java libraries in your .NET application via IKVM.

Getting Started

• Add a Nuget dependency to Noggle.TikaOnDotNet.Parser.
• Instantiate a new Tika object and call one of the Parser methods.

Usage

using Noggle.TikaOnDotNet.Parser;

var tika = new Tika();

//simple text extraction from File/URL/Stream
string textFromFile = tika.ParseToString(stringToFile);
string textFromStream = tika.ParseToString(streamObject);
string textFromByteArray =tika.ParseToString(byteArrayObject);

//Parse a document and extract text and metadata from File/URL/Stream
var localFileContents = tika.Parse(stringToFile);
var webPageContents = tika.Parse(new Uri("https://google.com"));
var streamDocResults = tika.Parse(new FileStream(file, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read));

//Detect Language from string
var lang = tika.GetLanguage(textString);

Nuget

This project produces two nugets:

• Noggle.TikaOnDotNet: A straight IKVM hosted port of Java Tika project. Link: https://www.nuget.org/packages/Noggle.TikaOnDotnet/

• Noggle.TikaOnDotNet.Parser: A wrapper with helper functions to use Tika to extract text and additional metadata from rich documents. Link: https://www.nuget.org/packages/Noggle.TikaOnDotNet.Parser/
