Yomu 読む

Yomu is a library for extracting text and metadata from files and documents using the Apache Tika content analysis toolkit.

Here are some of the formats supported:

• Microsoft Office OLE 2 and Office Open XML Formats (.doc, .docx, .xls, .xlsx, .ppt, .pptx)
• OpenOffice.org OpenDocument Formats (.odt, .ods, .odp)
• Apple iWorks Formats
• Rich Text Format (.rtf)
• Portable Document Format (.pdf)

For the complete list of supported formats, please visit the Apache Tika Supported Document Formats page.

Text, metadata and MIME type information can be extracted by calling Yomu.read directly:

require 'yomu'

data = File.read 'sample.pages'
text = Yomu.read :text, data
metadata = Yomu.read :metadata, data
mimetype = Yomu.read :mimetype, data

Create a new instance of Yomu and pass a filename.

yomu = Yomu.new 'sample.pages'
text = yomu.text

This is useful for reading remote files, like documents hosted on Amazon S3.

yomu = Yomu.new 'http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/poi/trunk/test-data/document/sample.docx'
text = yomu.text

Yomu can also read from a stream or any object that responds to read, including file uploads from Ruby on Rails or Sinatra.

post '/:name/:filename' do
  yomu = Yomu.new params[:data][:tempfile]
  yomu.text
end

Metadata is returned as a hash.

yomu = Yomu.new 'sample.pages'
yomu.metadata['Content-Type'] #=> "application/vnd.apple.pages"

MIME type is returned as a MIME::Type object.

yomu = Yomu.new 'sample.docx'
yomu.mimetype.content_type #=> "application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document"
yomu.mimetype.extensions #=> ['docx']

Yomu packages the Apache Tika application jar and requires a working JRE for it to work.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'yomu'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install yomu
