Package opennlp.tools.util.normalizer

Class NfcCharSequenceNormalizer

java.lang.Object

opennlp.tools.util.normalizer.NfcCharSequenceNormalizer

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, opennlp.tools.util.normalizer.CharSequenceNormalizer

public class NfcCharSequenceNormalizer
extends Object
implements opennlp.tools.util.normalizer.CharSequenceNormalizer

A CharSequenceNormalizer that applies Unicode Normalization Form C (canonical composition, UAX #15).

NFC is the safe, lossless (under canonical equivalence) baseline for matching: precomposed and decomposed spellings of the same text (for example U+00E9 versus e plus a combining acute accent) become identical, so equal text compares equal regardless of how it was encoded. It changes no characters' meaning and is the W3C-recommended interchange form.
