Tika是一个内容抽取的工具集合(a toolkit for text extracting)。它集成了POI, Pdfbox 并且为文本抽取工作提供了一个统一的界面。其次，Tika也提供了便利的扩展API，用来丰富其对第三方文件格式的支持。

Tika的API十分便捷，核心是Parser interface，其中定义了一个parse方法：
public void parse(InputStream stream, ContentHandler handler, Metadata metadata)
用stream参数传递需要解析的文件流， 文本内容会被传入handler，而元数据会更新至metadata。

可以使用Tika的ParserUtils工具来根据文件的mime-type来得到一个适当的Parser来进行解析工作。或者Tika还提供了一个AutoDetectParser根据不同的二进制文件的特殊格式 (比如说Magic Code)，来寻找适合的Parser。
