Getting Started

The tika_text function will extract plain text from many types of documents. It is a good place to start. Please read the Vignette also. Other main functions include tika_xml and tika_html that get a structured XHMTL rendition. The tika_json function gets metadata as '.json', with XHMTL content.

The tika_json_text function gets metadata as '.json', with plain text content.

tika is the main function the others above inherit from.

Use tika_fetch to download files with a file extension matching the Content-Type.
