Hi Robert,
in the sense of a microservice architecture it makes absolute sense to
use Tika as a server/microservice component. As Tim Allison explained
this helps you to separate your business requirements in isolated
components (running in there own JVM).
If you don't need to link the Tika function closely to your code then
use the server option wherever possible.
Best regards
Ralph

Hi,
I am using Tika to extract text from Word Docs and PDFs locally. It's
great. Thank you Apache and Tika developers!
Could someone help me understand why Tika offers a client-server
option instead of just a code library? I am sure there was/is a good
reason, so I am curious if anyone knows or if there are some resources
that explain the history of how/why Tika also has its API architecture.
Thanks so much,
Robert
