Nick Burch commented on TIKA-2462:
----------------------------------
While we wait for the re-license to go through, I've had a look at writing a
parser. Outputting as CSV is very easy, as they've got a great class to do all
the work. SAX events of a HTML table will be trickier, as the logic to format a
raw value in a given column to "a string of how it looks in SAS" is currently
in a private method. I've raised [#24|https://github.com/epam/parso/issues/24]
to see if that can be refactored out, to avoid us needing to duplicate lots of
their code
Tika questions on column metadata, test files etc still remain for us though!
