API

brill

brill exposes an object where the keys are words and the values are a list of tags or joined tags (Object.<string>).

Capitalization

Some words are included as all-caps, first-capital, lowercase, or other:

var brill = require('brill')

console.log(brill.THAT) // [ 'TO', 'DT' ]
console.log(brill.That) // [ 'DT', 'NNP', 'PDT', 'IN', 'RB', 'EX', 'WDT' ]
console.log(brill.that) // [ 'IN', 'DT', 'NN', 'RB', 'RP', 'UH', 'WP', 'VBP', 'WDT' ]

It’s recommended to check a given word first in its original form, and second, if no tags are found, in its lowercase form.
