mecab-rs

Safe Rust wrapper for mecab a japanese language part-of-speech and morphological analyzer library.

Usage

The wrapper is almost identical to the C++ interface of mecab with the addition of various iterator for comfortable data access. It is build with the latest version of mecab v0.996.

Windows

Both Windows Rust versions (MSVC ABI and gcc toolchain) can just use the prebuilt 32bit library. Using mecab-rs with the Windows commandline is not recommended and can cause undefined behavior if you are not using the correct codepage and a font that supports japanese character.

CMake & 64bit library:

Examples

Include this in your Cargo.toml to add mecab to your project:

extern crate mecab;

  // gets tagged result as String
  let mut result = tagger.parse_str(input);
  println!("RESULT: {}", result);

  // gets N best results as String
  result = tagger.parse_nbest(3, input);
  println!("NBEST:\n{}", result);

  // gets N best in sequence
  tagger.parse_nbest_init(input);
  for i in 0..3 {
    if let Some(res) = tagger.next() {
      println!("{}:\n{}", i, res);
    }
  }

  // gets Node object
