Nick Burch commented on TIKA-626:
---------------------------------
Or AbstractParser? The idea seems good to me though!
> Add a BaseParser class
> ----------------------
>
> Key: TIKA-626
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-626
> Project: Tika
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: parser
> Reporter: Jukka Zitting
> Assignee: Jukka Zitting
> Priority: Minor
>
> The deprecated parse() method in the Parser interface causes quite a few
> repetitive method declarations in all parser classes, so to simplify things
> I'd like to introduce a BaseParser class that provides reasonable default
> implementations of all Parser methods and can be used as the base class of
> any Parser implementation. It would be analogous to the DefaultHandler class
> in SAX, and would also make it easier for us to introduce new Parser methods
> if needed later on without necessarily breaking too many existing Parser
> classes.
