4X performance boost with same syntax in versions 0.0.5 and further. Please do upgrade.

Installation

1. npm install ner-node
2. You can now try the test files to see the library working.

Usage

Here is an example of how you can call the library :-

var socketNER = require("ner-node")
socketNER(port, classifierFileName, pathToNER, function (obj) {
	// you can define your own function to parse tagged text
	obj.parser = function (taggedText) {..... return entities}
	// Synchronous function to get the Entities JSON
	var entitiesJSON = obj.getEntities(rawText, requiredEntity)
	// closes the server and client when done
	obj.close()
})

Note:- The npm package doesn't come with StanfordNER folder. You can download the latest from Stanford NER website OR get it from the git hub repository.

Updates
