Snowball Stemmer for Go

Usage

package snowball_test

import (
	"fmt"

	"github.com/tebeka/snowball"
)

func Example() {
	stemmer, err := snowball.New("english")
	if err != nil {
		fmt.Println("error", err)
		return
	}
	defer stemmer.Close()

	fmt.Println(stemmer.Stem("worked"))
	fmt.Println(stemmer.Stem("working"))
	fmt.Println(stemmer.Stem("works"))
	// Output:
	// work
	// work
	// work
}

This project was mostly a learning exercise for me, I don't consider it production quality.

Development

If you want to update the underlying C library, run update-c.sh. Make sure to run the tests after.
