public class XMLTextExtractor
extends AbstractTextExtractor

Text extractor for XML documents. This class extracts the text content and attribute values from XML documents.

This class can handle any XML-based format (application/xml+something), not just the base XML content types reported by AbstractTextExtractor.getContentTypes(). However, it often makes sense to use more specialized extractors that better understand the specific content type.
