Summary: Remove xerces from Tika 3.x/main branch?
Key: TIKA-4135
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-4135
Project: Tika
Issue Type: Wish
Reporter: Tim Allison
We've gotten requests over the years to get rid of xerces. Should we do that
in 3.x/main?
The one nice thing about including it is that it offers some consistency across
java versions and platforms. This can help with securing the parsers (against
xxe, etc). This can also make debugging easier.
However, as people have pointed out, the xerces project appears to be in
security-fix-only mode.
WDYT?
