             Summary: Switch from TagSoup to JSoup
                 Key: TIKA-1599
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-1599
             Project: Tika
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: parser
    Affects Versions: 1.7, 1.8
            Reporter: Ken Krugler
            Assignee: Ken Krugler
            Priority: Minor


There are several Tika issues related to how TagSoup cleans up HTML 
([TIKA-381], [TIKA-985], maybe [TIKA-715]), but TagSoup doesn't seem to be 
under active development.

On the other hand I know of several projects that are now using 
[JSoup|https://github.com/jhy/jsoup], which is an active project (albeit only 
one main contributor) under the MIT license.

I haven't looked into how hard it would be to switch this dependency.
