How to convert a word document into Json in apache tika

I am very new to big data and Tika. I just want to know is there a way to convert a word document(.doc) to JSON format. I heard that a morphline using java needs to coded to do this, but i dont know Java, Is there any solution available to this.

I will be using Tika in Apache SolR.

Solution

  • Like following you can extract xml with ToXMLContentHandler and then convert to json

    More examples here

    public String parseBodyToHTML(InputStream stream) throws IOException, SAXException, TikaException {
    ContentHandler handler = new BodyContentHandler(
            new ToXMLContentHandler());

    AutoDetectParser parser = new AutoDetectParser();
    Metadata metadata = new Metadata();
    parser.parse(stream, handler, metadata);
    return handler.toString();
}

    another option would be write a JsonHandler for yourself ContentHandler
