RE: Outputting JSON from tika-server/meta

["Allison, Timothy B." <ta...@mitre.org>]

All,

With many thanks to Sergey, I added JSON and XMP to “/meta” and I folded in MetadataEP into MetadataResource so that users can request a specific metadata value(s). (TIKA-1497, TIKA-1499)

I also added a new endpoint “/rmeta” that is equivalent to tika-app’s –J (TIKA-1498) – JSONified view of a list of metadata objects representing the container document and all embedded docs…aka Jukka and Nick’s RecursiveParserWrapper.

I also updated the jax-rs wiki to reflect these changes.

Please kick the tires and let us know if there are any surprises.

Best,

           Tim

Subject: Outputting JSON from tika-server/meta

Hi,

I suspect this has a really simple answer, but it's eluding me.

How do I get the response from
curl -X PUT -T /path/to/file.pdf http://localhost:9998/meta
to be JSON and not CSV?

I've discovered JSONMessageBodyWriter.java (https://github.com/apache/tika/blob/af19f3ea04792cad81b428f1df9f5ebbb2501913/tika-server/src/main/java/org/apache/tika/server/JSONMessageBodyWriter.java) so I think the functionality is present, tried adding --header "Accept: application/json" to the cURL call, in line with the documentation for outputting CSV, but no luck so far.

Many thanks,
Peter
