Tim Allison commented on TIKA-1513:
-----------------------------------
>From govdocs1, it looks like first byte of 0X03 is a safe way to identify
>these files.
[This|http://www.digitalpreservation.gov/formats/fdd/fdd000325.shtml] was
useful.
Two mime type questions:
1) What should we use as the canonical mime type for .dbf files? Proposal:
{{application/x-dbf}}.
2) What mimes should the parser "accept", or what should we include in the
aliases?
>From [filext.com|http://filext.com/file-extension/DBF]:
* application/dbase
* application/x-dbase
* application/dbf
* application/x-dbf
* zz-application/zz-winassoc-dbf
First attempt at mime definition:
{noformat}
<mime-type type="application/x-dbf">
<magic priority="100">
<match value="0x03" type="string" offset="0"/>
</magic>
<glob pattern="*.dbf"/>
<glob pattern="*.dbase"/>
</mime-type>
{noformat}
> Add mime detection and parsing for dbf files

> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 1.9

>
> I just came across an Apache licensed dbf parser that is available on
> [maven|https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/jamel/dbf/dbf-reader/0.1.0/dbf-reader-0.1.0.pom].
> Let's add dbf parsing to Tika.
> Any other recommendations for alternate parsers?
