## com.bea.p13n.util
Class MetaParser

    java.lang.Object
      com.bea.p13n.util.MetaParser

    public class MetaParser

extends Object

A utility which can pull META tags from an HTML file.

This will also pull the title of an HTML from the <title></title> section anywhere in the document. No matter what the casing of the title tag, it will be put in the metadata properties as "title".

Method Summary
`static String` | `determineEncoding(BufferedReader reader)` Try to determine the encoding from a <META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=" > instruction.
`static String` | `determineEncoding(File f, String encoding)` Try to determine the encoding from a <META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=" > instruction.
`static Properties` | `load(BufferedReader reader, Properties p)` Load the META tag name/value pairs from the input stream into p.
`static Properties` | `load(File f, Properties p)` Load the META tag name/value pairs from f into p.
`static Properties` | `load(File f, Properties p, String enc)` Load the META tag name/value pairs from f into p.
`static BufferedReader` | `open(File f, String encoding)` Open a file with the given encoding.

Method Detail

### load

    public static Properties load(File f,
                                  Properties p)
                           throws IOException

  Load the META tag name/value pairs from f into p.

  Parameters
    `f` - the file.
    `p` - the properties object (null to create new).
  Returns
    the META tag name/values (p if p was not null).
  Throws
    `IOException` - thrown on an error reading the file.

### load

    public static Properties load(File f,
                                  Properties p,
                                  String enc)
                           throws IOException

  Load the META tag name/value pairs from f into p.

  This will look for the encoding name to use by trying to find a <META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=" > tag in the HTML (this will use the passed in encoding to find the encoding). If a valid encoding name is found, the file will be opened with that encoding, and the "encoding" property in the Properties will be set. If a valid encoding is not found and an encoding was passed in, that encoding will be used. If an encoding was not passed in, the system default will be used.

  Parameters
    `f` - the file.
    `p` - the properties object (null to create new).
    `enc` - the file encoding name to try (null for system default).
  Returns
    the META tag name/values (p if p was not null).
  Throws
    `IOException` - thrown on an error reading the file.

### load

    public static Properties load(BufferedReader reader,
                                  Properties p)
                           throws IOException

  Load the META tag name/value pairs from the input stream into p.

  This operates on a last-seen-is-returned alogirithm for META tags with the same name. It will also find all meta tags in file, not just those in the head.

  Parameters
    `reader` - the input reader.
    `p` - the properties object (null to create new).
  Returns
    the META tag name/values (p if p was not null).
  Throws
    `IOException` - thrown on an error reading the file.

### determineEncoding

    public static final String determineEncoding(File f,
                                                 String encoding)
                                          throws IOException

  Try to determine the encoding from a <META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=" > instruction.

  If an encoding is passed in and the files doesn't contain an appropriate META tag, that encoding will be returned.

  Parameters
    `f` - the input file
    `encoding` - the encoding to open the file with (null for default).
  Returns
    the encoding to use, null for unknown.
  Throws
    `IOException` - thrown on an error reading the file.

### determineEncoding

    public static final String determineEncoding(BufferedReader reader)
                                          throws IOException

  Try to determine the encoding from a <META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=" > instruction.

  Parameters
    `in` - the input stream
  Returns
    the encoding to use, null for unknown.
  Throws
    `IOException` - thrown on an error reading the file.

### open

    public static final BufferedReader open(File f,
                                            String encoding)
                                     throws IOException

  Open a file with the given encoding.

  Parameters
    `f` - a file object.
    `encoding` - the encoding to use, null for default.
  Throws
    `IOException` - if invalid encoding or unable to open file.
