[jira] [Created] (TIKA-3409) provide isBinary/isText method

Caleb Cushing created TIKA-3409:
-----------------------------------

             Summary: provide isBinary/isText method
                 Key: TIKA-3409
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-3409
             Project: Tika
          Issue Type: New Feature
            Reporter: Caleb Cushing


Since tika can detect what kind of file something is, it could also know whether that file type is binary or not, I'd love to have a method  `MimeType::isBinary` or something, so I could know if I could try "parsing" the file.
