Nick Burch commented on TIKA-3409:
----------------------------------
As well as the primary type that Tika detects, also check the aliases and the
parent type (if defined). You may well find a text in those
eg application/xml has a parent of text/plain
eg application/javascript has an alias of text/javascript
> provide isBinary/isText method

> Since tika can detect what kind of file something is, it could also know
> whether that file type is binary or not, I'd love to have a method
> `MimeType::isBinary` or something, so I could know if I could try "parsing"
> the file.
