[jira] Commented: (TIKA-182) Allow clients to listen to the raw SAX events if available

["Jukka Zitting (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-182?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12656484#action_12656484 ] 

Jukka Zitting commented on TIKA-182:
------------------------------------

After thinking about this a bit more, I find myself reluctant to apply this patch. Adding such a low-level extension point essentially prevents us from changing to some other parser library that doesn't generate those low-level SAX events. For example I wouldn't count out the possibility that at some point we'd want to replace NekoHTML with a higher level HTML parser that better expresses how the HTML content gets expressed to the user.

> As discussed on the mailing list (http://markmail.org/message/gojiffbhlcuifnzd) it would be nice to allow clients to listen to the raw SAX events of an underlying XML-based (or -like) document.
> There's a proposed patch for the HTML parser in http://markmail.org/message/l72v6ybf4jjrcp7p
