*Available as of Camel version 2.19*

The *Tika*: components provides the ability to detect and parse documents with 
Apache Tika. This component uses
https://tika.apache.org/[Apache Tika] as underlying library to work
with documents.

In order to use the Tika component, Maven users will need to add the
following dependency to their `pom.xml`:

*pom.xml*

[source,xml]
----
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.camel</groupId>
    <artifactId>camel-tika</artifactId>
    <version>x.x.x</version>
    <!-- use the same version as your Camel core version -->
</dependency>
----

The TIKA component only supports producer endpoints.

// endpoint options: START
The Tika endpoint is configured using URI syntax:

----

with the following path and query parameters:

=== Path Parameters (1 parameters):


[width="100%",cols="2,5,^1,2",options="header"]
|===
| Name | Description | Default | Type
| *operation* | *Required* Tika Operation - parse or detect |  | TikaOperation
|===


=== Query Parameters (7 parameters):


[width="100%",cols="2,5,^1,2",options="header"]
|===
| Name | Description | Default | Type
| *lazyStartProducer* (producer) | Whether the producer should be started lazy (on the first message). By starting lazy you can use this to allow CamelContext and routes to startup in situations where a producer may otherwise fail during starting and cause the route to fail being started. By deferring this startup to be lazy then the startup failure can be handled during routing messages via Camel's routing error handlers. Beware that when the first message is processed then creating and starting the producer may take a little time and prolong the total processing time of the processing. | false | boolean
| *tikaConfig* (producer) | To use a custom Tika config. |  | TikaConfig
| *tikaConfigUri* (producer) | Tika Config Uri: The URI of tika-config.xml file to use. |  | String
| *tikaParseOutputEncoding* (producer) | Tika Parse Output Encoding - Used to specify the character encoding of the parsed output. Defaults to Charset.defaultCharset(). |  | String
| *tikaParseOutputFormat* (producer) | Tika Output Format. Supported output formats. xml: Returns Parsed Content as XML. html: Returns Parsed Content as HTML. text: Returns Parsed Content as Text. textMain: Uses the boilerpipe library to automatically extract the main content from a web page. | xml | TikaParseOutputFormat
| *basicPropertyBinding* (advanced) | Whether the endpoint should use basic property binding (Camel 2.x) or the newer property binding with additional capabilities | false | boolean
| *synchronous* (advanced) | Sets whether synchronous processing should be strictly used, or Camel is allowed to use asynchronous processing (if supported). | false | boolean
