Tika - Content Analysis Toolkit

   Apache Tika is a toolkit for detecting and extracting metadata and
   structured text content from various documents using existing parser
   libraries. 

   Apache Tika is an effort undergoing
   {{{http://incubator.apache.org/}incubation}} at
   {{{http://www.apache.org/}The Apache Software Foundation}} (ASF),
   sponsored by the {{{http://lucene.apache.org/}Apache Lucene PMC}}.
   Incubation is required of all newly accepted projects until a further
   review indicates that the infrastructure, communications, and decision
   making process have stabilized in a manner consistent with other
   successful ASF projects. While incubation status is not necessarily
   a reflection of the completeness or stability of the code, it does
   indicate that the project has yet to be fully endorsed by the ASF.

   See the {{{http://incubator.apache.org/projects/tika.html}Apache Tika
   Incubation Status}} page for the current incubation status.
