Because to understand markov chains I needed to hack something together. And to be honest, it produces some pretty interesting little stories, given the right input.
After including json2.js and markov.js in your page...
var test = new markov(text, type, regex);
The text can be anything you so desire. The type should be "string" or "json". And the regex should always be global. All matches are used.
to generate a phrase of a given length:
test.gen(length);
to see the object containing the data:
test.data;
to get the JSON generated by JSON2.js of the data:
test.getJson();
A warning though, you probably only want to use the JSON for making things a bit faster on the processing end with long text, as the JSON tends to be an order of magnitude greater in file size than the input text.
This is all open source, you can use it however you like. Especially to learn.
That said, I would enjoy it if you would send me a sample to work produced by this.
Oh, and JSON2.js isn't mine, the source can be found at http://www.json.org/json2.js
