TextMining.org
Ryan Ackley, whose name appears in Word-related POI classes, has written a library to extract text from Word documents. According to him, textmining.org has several advantages compared to POI:
- The textmining.org library is optimized for extracting text. POI is not.
- The textmining.org libraries supports extracting text from Word 6/95. POI does not.
- The textmining.org libraries do not extract deleted text that is still in the document for the purposes of revision marking. POI does not handle this.
The question is, now: did he document textmining.org as well as the POI classes?
Update: POI stands for Poor Obfuscation Implementation. Certainly didn’t find it on the site.
