TokenSampleStream (Apache OpenNLP Tools 2.2.0 API)

java.lang.Object
- opennlp.tools.util.FilterObjectStream<String,TokenSample>
- - opennlp.tools.tokenize.TokenSampleStream

All Implemented Interfaces:

AutoCloseable, ObjectStream<TokenSample>
```
public class TokenSampleStream
extends FilterObjectStream<String,TokenSample>
```
This class is a stream filter which reads in string encoded samples and creates samples out of them. The input string sample is tokenized if a whitespace or the special separator chars occur.
Sample:
"token1 token2 token3<SPLIT>token4"
The tokens token1 and token2 are separated by a whitespace, token3 and token4 are separated by the special character sequence. In this case, the default split sequence applies.
Note: The sequence must be unique in the input string and is not escaped.

    Description copied from interface: ObjectStream
    
    Returns the next ObjectStream object. Calling this method repeatedly until it returns null will return each object from the underlying source exactly once.
    
    Returns:
    
    The next object or null to signal that the stream is exhausted.
    
    Throws:
    
    IOException - Thrown if there is an error during reading.
