        Gets the metadata value.
        Parameters:
        name - The name of the metadata.
        Returns:
        A string value that represents the value of the metadata item; null if the metadata with this name isn't found.

      • openStream

        public abstract InputStream openStream()
        Opens the stream of the item content.
        Returns:
        A stream with the item content.

      • openParser

        public Parser openParser()
        Creates the Parser object for the item content.
        Returns:
        An instance of Parser class of the item content.

      • openParser

        public Parser openParser(LoadOptions loadOptions)
        Creates the Parser object for the item content with LoadOptions.
        Parameters:
        loadOptions - The options to open the item content.
        Returns:
        An instance of Parser class of the item content.

      • openParser

        public abstract Parser openParser(LoadOptions loadOptions,
                                  ParserSettings parserSettings)
        Creates the Parser object for the item content with LoadOptions and ParserSettings.
        Parameters:
        loadOptions - The options to open the item content.
        parserSettings - The parser settings which are used to customize data extraction.
        Returns:
        An instance of Parser class of the item content.

      • detectFileType

        public abstract FileType detectFileType(FileTypeDetectionMode detectionMode)
        Detects a file type of the container item.

        detectionMode parameter provides the ability to control file type detection:

        • Default. The file type is detected by the file extension; if the file extension isn't recognized, the file type is detected by the file content.
        • Extension.The file type is detected only by the file extension.
        • Content. The file type is detected only by the file content.

        The following example shows how to detect file type of container item:

         // Create an instance of Parser class
 try (Parser parser = new Parser(filePath)) {
     // Extract attachments from the container
     Iterable<ContainerItem> attachments = parser.getContainer();
     // Check if container extraction is supported
     if (attachments == null) {
         System.out.println("Container extraction isn't supported");
     }
     // Iterate over attachments
     for (ContainerItem item : attachments) {
         // Detect the file type
         FileType fileType = item.detectFileType(FileTypeDetectionMode.Default);
         // Print the name and file type
         System.out.println(String.format("%s: %s", item.getName(), fileType));
     }
 }
        Parameters:
        detectionMode - Defines a mode of the file type detection.
        Returns:
        An instance of FileType class; FileType.Unknown if a file type isn't detected.
