Most Suitable MIMETypeDetector

[Lewis John Mcgibbney <le...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I don't quite understand when the best time is to use either
NaiveMIMETypeDetector or TikaMIMETypeDetector?

I've looked over the code and Javadoc's diligently and am really keen
to compare between the two... I also think it would be worth our while
to document the results (comparability) between the two implementation
somewhere in Javadoc?

Any ideas? I am working with this and will update this thread if I
don't hear anything back.

Thanks

Lewis

NaiveMIMETypeDetector: fast but not reliable.
TikaMIMETypeDetector: slow but reliable.

Any module using a MIMETypeDetector should let you choose the
implementation.
