[jira] Created: (TIKA-245) Support of CHM Format
Support of CHM Format
---------------------
Key: TIKA-245
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-245
Project: Tika
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: parser
Environment: All
Reporter: Karl Heinz Marbaise
Priority: Minor
It might be a good idea to support the CHM File format of Windows. Some information about http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Compiled_HTML_Help#Extracting_to_HTML. The CHM format contains HTML files which can be parsed by Tika. So the "only" problem is to extract the data from the CHM file.

jchm looks promising, thanks for the pointer!
Is anyone interested in implementing a Tika Parser warpper for jchm? As a starting point it would be nice if the jchm jar was made available on Maven central.

Hi, I've started to use TIKA to parse some files I have and sadly several of them are CHM. Have you tried http://sourceforge.net/projects/jchm/ to see it if works?

------------------------------------
See http://www.russotto.net/chm/chmformat.html for a description of the CHM format. Quick browsing didn't reveal any Java-based parser libraries that we could use to parse CHM files.
