Tika

This is a Perl 6 library for using the Apache Tika Server REST API. Apache Tika server JAR is already included. You just need to install Java runtime or JDK to be able to use it.

Example

use v6;
use Tika;

my $t = TikaWrapper.new;
$t.start;

say "Found {$t.version} server";

say $t.parsers;
say $t.detectors;

my $filename     = 'demo.docx';
my $content-type = $t.mime-type($filename);
say "Detected stream type $content-type";

my $metadata = $t.meta($filename, $content-type);
say "Metadata for $filename:\n{$t._truncate($metadata, 40)}";

my $text = $t.text($filename, $content-type);
say "Found {$text.chars} plain text";

my $language = $t.language($text);
say "Detected language #{$language}";

For more examples, please take a look at examples.
