Javascript implementation of UAX 29 Unicode Text Segmentation?


Is anyone aware of any JavaScript implementations of UAX #29, Unicode Text Segmentation? I'm specifically interested in Word Boundaries.

I was hopeful when I came across XRegExp, but it seems to use the standard JavaScript implementation of \b.


Solution

  • https://github.com/orling/grapheme-splitter is a pure js implementation of UAX #29 Grapheme Cluster Boundaries.

    There is also an ES proposal on implementing Intl.Segmenter using UAX #29, see https://github.com/tc39/proposal-intl-segmenter.
