Lorenz Leutgeb commented on TIKA-1630:
--------------------------------------
The page states "document formats supported by Apache Tika" and continues "and
how it is parsed by Tika". For me as a user, not deeply involved in Tika,
that's slightly misleading and translates to "everything that Tika in any form
supports". A user like me may not be aware of the difference between "able to
parse" and "able to recognise". This may be not accurate, but that's just what
you understand by reading this if you land on that page.
So it appears that this renders my request obsolete, but shows that the
documentation is easily misunderstood in its wording on that page.
The list of formats Tika only offers detection might be less helpful, but would
have been exactly what I wanted. So I suggest adding a reference to it to the
page.
I do not know in what detail Tika "supports" APK files, and would guess that
contributors might be the right people to answer this.
> Mention APK support in List of Supported Formats

> Key: TIKA-1630
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-1630
> Project: Tika
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: documentation
> Affects Versions: 1.8
> Reporter: Lorenz Leutgeb
> Priority: Trivial
>
> http://tika.apache.org/1.8/formats.html claims to offer a "full list of
> supported formats" does not mention support for APK files at all.
> I trusted that source and only found that tike supports APK files and their
> respective MIME types from looking at Tikas codebase, which is suboptimal.
> Please add APK files to that list as appropriate (at least include the MIME
> type Tika understands).
> Consider reevaluating the list to find out whether other formats are missing
> (this is not covered by this ticket).
