Apache Tika is a content detection and analysis framework stewarded at the Apache Software Foundation.[1] The project originated as part of the Apache Nutch codebase and was later separated to make it more extensible and usable by Content management systems, Web crawlers, and information retrieval systems. Tika was started in 2007 by Jérôme Charron, Chris Mattmann and Jukka Zitting.[2] In 2011 Chris Mattmann and Jukka Zitting released the Manning book "Tika in Action".
Tika provides capabilities for identification of more than 1400 file types from the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority taxonomy of MIME types. In addition, Tika provides content extraction, metadata extraction and language identification capabilities.
Tika is used by financial institutions including the Fair Isaac Corporation (FICO),[3] by NASA and academic researchers[4] by major content management systems including Drupal,[5] and Alfresco (software)[6] to analyze large amounts of content, and to make it available in common formats using information retrieval techniques.
On April 4, 2016[7] Forbes published an article identifying Tika as one of the key technologies used by more than 400 journalists to analyze 11.5 million leaked documents that expose an international scandal involving world leaders storing money in offshore Shell corporations. The leaked documents and project to analyze them is referred to as the Panama Papers.
