Ken Krugler commented on TIKA-1599:
-----------------------------------
Hi [[email protected]] - I was actually talking about how a Tika
consumer (user) would know that they should use JSoup vs. TagSoup. Or are you
suggesting this support be added just for testing? If so, then I'd be more in
favor of a branch with a rip-and-replace to try it out, versus adding code to
support this.
> 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.
