About:
Goolabs is a command-line interface for the Aozora Bunko API, designed to perform morphological analysis on Japanese text. It breaks down sentences into constituent parts like nouns, verbs, and particles to help developers and researchers understand Japanese grammar. This tool is valuable for linguistic studies, natural language processing tasks, and building applications that require deep text analysis.
Key Features:
  • Provides morphological analysis for Japanese text
  • Command-line interface for easy scripting and automation
  • Leverages the Aozora Bunko API for accurate linguistic data
  • Outputs analysis in a simple, parseable format
Use Cases:
  • Linguistic research and academic study of Japanese grammar
  • Preprocessing text for natural language processing (NLP) models
  • Building chatbots or other applications that need to understand Japanese user input
Alternatives:
  • mecab – MeCab is a more established, offline morphological analyzer, while Goolabs provides a simpler CLI wrapper around a web API.
  • sudachipy – SudachiPy is a modern, high-accuracy Python library for Japanese segmentation, offering more features but requiring local model installation.
