----------------------------------------

Hi Tim

We can probably have
{code:java}
@Produces({"text/csv", "application/json"})
{code:java}

for both PUT methods and have JSONMessageBodyWriter also have the same Produces and renamed to MetadataMessageBodyWriter and in its writre to  check if the passed media type is text/csv or json and convert accordingly. Or a dedicated CSV provider can be added as you suggest. Indeed, returning Metadata directly (wrapped in Response is Ok too) works well with custom MBWs
thanks, Sergey

> 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.
> According to [~sergey_beryozkin]
> "I see MetadataResource returning StreamingOutput and it has @Produces(text/csv) only. As such this MBW has no effect at the moment.
> We can update MetadataResource to return Metadata directly if application/json is requested or update MetadataResource to directly convert Metadata to JSON in case of JSON being accepted."
