What is this?

This package exposes a parser that takes German natural language and produces a syntax tree. It is an adaptation of the parse-english parser created by Titus Wormer.

When should I use this?

If you need to handle German natural language as syntax trees manually, this is for you. It’s specifically tailored to handle the nuances and structures of the German language.

Install

This package is ESM only. In Node.js (version 16+), install with npm:

npm install parse-german

In browsers with esm.sh:

<script type="module">
  import {ParseGerman} from 'https://esm.sh/parse-german?bundle'
</script>

Use

Example usage of the parser:

import {ParseGerman} from 'parse-german'
import {inspect} from 'unist-util-inspect'

const tree = new ParseGerman().parse('Dies ist ein einfacher deutscher Satz.')

console.log(inspect(tree))

This yields a syntax tree structure that represents the sentence, breaking down its grammatical components and their hierarchical relationships.

API

Types
