h1. Ruby Tika Parser

h2. Introduction

This is a simple frontend to the Java Tika parser command line jar / app.

It is the same as running: 

<pre>
java -server -Djava.awt.headless=true -jar tika-app-0.10.jar FileToParse.pdf
</pre>

with options like --xml, --text, etc.

h2. Installation

To install, add ruby_tika_app to your @Gemfile@ and run `bundle install`:

<pre>
gem 'ruby_tika_app'
</pre>

h3. Note about installation

RubyTikaApp is a pretty big gem since it includes the ruby-tika-app jarfile.
It might take a while to install.

h2. Usage

First, you need Java installed.  And it needs to be in your $PATH.

Then:

<pre>
require 'ruby_tika_app'

rta = RubyTikaApp.new("sample_file.pdf")

puts rta.to_xml # <xml output>

# You also get to_json, to_text, to_text_main, and to_metadata

</pre>

h2. Contributing

Fork on GitHub and after you've committed tested patches, send a pull request.
