I am not an expert on mime types and how they extend. My definition of binary is any file that is not in human readable form. Any other file, I'd like to index. Would that answer your question?
Some of us humans here can read a wide range of formats than others, especially if we go slowly... ;)
For now, I'd suggest you start with: * Does the mimetype start with text/ ? * If not, check all parents (supertypes) to see if any of those start with text/ Then: * Try a few formats with a parent of application/xml, and see if you want to include or exclude those (are they human readable enough?) * Try a few formats with a parent of text/xml or text/html, and see if you want to include or exclude them (ditto on really human readable) Use https://tika.apache.org/1.17/api/org/apache/tika/mime/MediaTypeRegistry.html#getSupertype-org.apache.tika.mime.MediaType- to get the parent types Use http://tika.apache.org/1.17/api/org/apache/tika/mime/MediaType.html#getType-- to check if a mimetype if text/ or not (check for getType().equals("text")) Nick
