Class ContainerAwareDetector

java.lang.Object
  org.apache.tika.detect.ContainerAwareDetector

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, Detector

public class ContainerAwareDetector
extends java.lang.Object
implements Detector

A detector that knows about the container formats that we support (eg POIFS, Zip), and is able to peek inside them to better figure out the contents. Delegates to another Detector (normally MimeTypes) to handle detection for non container formats. Should normally be used with a TikaInputStream to minimise the memory usage.
