Caleb Cushing commented on TIKA-3409:
-------------------------------------
Yes, and then to do what should be a very quick check, anyone who wants to
ask this question has to write the same logic, and probably do what I'm
doing, write a wrapper library around Tika to do it.
The reason I'm opening this issue is it feels like an abstraction that Tika
could easily provide, and in my opinion should.
> 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.
