14.0.0

Compromise is a javascript library that can do natural-language-processing tasks in the browser.

v14 is a big release, a proud re-write. It took a lot of work. Thank you to the many individuals that have helped create it.

Speed:

v14 is much faster. Usually 2x faster. You should be able to parse twice as many documents, in the same time.

Size:

v14 has been split into 3 libraries, so you can choose how-much of the library you'd like to use.
this is possible by switching to esmodules.

import nlp from 'compromise/one' // 68kb
import nlp from 'compromise/two' // 225kb
import nlp from 'compromise/three' // 275kb

in v14, we are dropping support for IE11 and node <12.

Self-repairing pointers:

we've finally found a quick way to support dynamic pointers to changing word data:

let doc = nlp('the dog is nice')
let sub = doc.match('is')
doc.match('doc').insertBefore('brown')
console.log(sub.text())
// 'is'

This works by using a fast-mode index lookup, with id-based error-correction.

Included plugins:

compromise-penn-tags compromise-plugin-scan and compromise-plugin-typeahead are now included in /one by default, which is great news.

compromise-plugin-numbers and compromise-plugin-adjectives is included by default in /three

New languages:

We now support early-versions of french, spanish, and german

Measured tagging suggestion:

a user-given lexicon is less coercive - so adding your own words is less-dangerous:

nlp('Dan Brown', { brown: 'Color' }).has('#Color') //false

Replace wildcards:

let doc = nlp('i am george and i live in France.')
doc.replace('i am [#Person+] and i live in [.]', '$0 is from $1')
doc.text()
// 'george is from France'

Root-replace:

.swap() is a way to replace via a root-word - where declinations are automatically handled:

let doc = nlp('i strolled downtown').compute('root')
doc.swap('stroll', 'walk')
// 'i walked downtown'

New plugin scheme:

We finally have a .plugin() scheme strong-enough to use internally. v14 is completely constructed via .plugin().
See the plugin documentation for details.
