ITokenizer (Carrot2 v3.8.0 API Documentation (JavaDoc))

All Known Implementing Classes:

ChineseTokenizerAdapter, ExtendedWhitespaceTokenizer, ThaiTokenizerAdapter
```
public interface ITokenizer
```
Splits input characters into tokens representing e.g. words, digits, acronyms, punctuation. For each token, the following information is available:

token type

Types of tokens: numbers, URIs, punctuation, acronyms and others. See all constants in this class declared with TT_ prefix, e.g. TT_TERM.

token flags

Additional token flags such as an indication whether a punctuation token is a sentence delimiter (TF_SEPARATOR_SENTENCE).
