Wakame

Wakame is a Crystal binding for MeCab(Website/Wikipedia), a morphological analyzer written in C++ often used to analyze Japanese texts. Wakame aims to provide natural interfaces to MeCab in Crystal.

This project is currently work-in-progress. While Wakame's internal direct binding to C has 100% coverage of the original C interfaces, it's currently lacking with higher-level abstractions in Crystal.

Dependencies

• MeCab
  • You may also need to install libmecab-dev if you are installing from the package manager.
• One of the system dictionaries available on the website or a third-party dictionary like mecab-ipadic-NEologd

Installation

1. Add the dependency to your shard.yml:

   dependencies:
     wakame:
       github: soya-daizu/wakame

2. Run shards install

Usage

An example of usage through Wakame's internal direct binding to C is available under the examples/ directory. More guides will be added after Wakame supports higher-level abstractions.
