IHintsAwareParser (Norconex Importer 3.1.0 API)

All Superinterfaces:

IDocumentParser

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractTikaParser, FallbackParser
```
public interface IHintsAwareParser
extends IDocumentParser
```
Indicates that a parser can be initialized with generic parser configuration settings and it will try to apply any such settings the best it can when possible to do so. Those settings are typically general settings that applies to more than one parser and can thus be configured "globally" for all applicable parsers. It should be left to IDocumentParserFactory implementations to initialize parsers as they see fit. The default GenericDocumentParserFactory will always invoke the initialize(ParseHints) method at least once per configured parsers.

Since:

2.6.0
