This method retrieve all the parsers and returns the first parser that is able to read the mimetype. If there are more parsers that can open the file will not be used.

Parameters:

mimeType - The mimetype of the file to open

Returns:

A parser that can parse the mimetype.

Throws:

ParserCreationException - If it is not possible to create a parser
