@stdlib/nlp-tokenize

About stdlib...

We believe in a future in which the web is a preferred environment for numerical computation. To help realize this future, we've built stdlib. stdlib is a standard library, with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computation, written in JavaScript (and C) for execution in browsers and in Node.js.

The library is fully decomposable, being architected in such a way that you can swap out and mix and match APIs and functionality to cater to your exact preferences and use cases.

When you use stdlib, you can be absolutely certain that you are using the most thorough, rigorous, well-written, studied, documented, tested, measured, and high-quality code out there.

To join us in bringing numerical computing to the web, get started by checking us out on GitHub, and please consider financially supporting stdlib. We greatly appreciate your continued support!

tokenize

Tokenize a string.

Installation

npm install @stdlib/nlp-tokenize

Usage

var tokenize = require( '@stdlib/nlp-tokenize' );

tokenize( str[, keepWhitespace] )

Tokenizes a string.

var str = 'Hello Mrs. Maple, could you call me back?';
var out = tokenize( str );
// returns  [ 'Hello', 'Mrs.', 'Maple', ',', 'could', 'you', 'call', 'me', 'back', '?' ]

To include whitespace characters (spaces, tabs, line breaks) in the output array, set keepWhitespace to true.

var str = 'Hello World!\n';
var out = tokenize( str, true );
// returns  [ 'Hello', ' ', 'World', '!', '\n' ]

Examples

var tokenize = require( '@stdlib/nlp-tokenize' );

console.log( tokenize( 'Hello World!' ) );
// => [ 'Hello', 'World', '!' ]

console.log( tokenize( '' ) );
// => []

var str = 'Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consetetur sadipscing elitr, sed diam nonumy eirmod.';
console.log( tokenize( str ) );
/* =>
    [
        'Lorem',
        'ipsum',
        'dolor',
        'sit',
        'amet',
        ',',
        'consetetur',
        'sadipscing',
        'elitr',
        ',',
        'sed',
        'diam',
        'nonumy',
        'eirmod',
        '.'
    ]
