Thanks for your contribution to Apache Tika! Your help is appreciated!

Before opening the pull request, please verify that

  • there is an open issue on the Tika issue tracker which describes the problem or the improvement. We cannot accept pull requests without an issue because the change wouldn't be listed in the release notes.
  • the issue ID (TIKA-XXXX)
    • is referenced in the title of the pull request

What changed in this PR

This PR migrates GeoGazetteerClient from Gson to Jackson, preserving location-response handling within Tika’s NLP parser module.

Changes:

  • Replaces the Gson dependency with Jackson Databind.
  • Extracts response parsing into a helper backed by a shared mapper that ignores unknown fields.
  • Adds tests for numeric coordinates, unknown fields, empty results, and JSON null.
