Use the Java Tika text extraction library on the .NET platform

Tika on .NET

This project is a simple wrapper around the very excellent and robust Tika text extraction Java library. This project produces two nugets:

• TikaOnDotNet - A straight IKVM hosted port of Java Tika project.

• TikaOnDotNet.TextExtractor - Use Tika to extract text from rich documents.

Getting Started

The best way to get started is to:

• Add a Nuget dependency to TikaOnDotNet.TextExtractor.
• Instantiate a new TextExtractor object and call one of the Extract methods.

Usage

// using TikaOnDotNet.TextExtractor;

var textExtractor = new TextExtractor();

var wordDocContents = textExtractor.Extract(@".\path\to\my favorite word.docx");
var webPageContents = textExtractor.Extract(new Uri("https://google.com"));

Take a look at our tests for more usage examples.
