A PHP library for Chinese word segmentation (jieba), ported from the Python jieba project and now independently maintained. It supports precise, full, and search-engine segmentation modes, traditional Chinese, custom dictionaries, TF-IDF keyword extraction, and part-of-speech tagging.

Use cases

• segment chinese text into words in php
• tokenize chinese sentences for search indexing
• extract keywords from chinese text with tf-idf
• part-of-speech tagging for chinese text
• support traditional chinese word segmentation
• add custom domain words to a chinese dictionary
• preprocess chinese text for nlp pipelines

When to choose

• you need fast, cheap, dependency-light Chinese segmentation in a PHP application
• you need search-engine-mode tokenization for building inverted indexes
• you need traditional Chinese or custom dictionary support

When to avoid

• you need state-of-the-art segmentation accuracy that LLM-based tokenizers provide
• your stack is not PHP (use the original Python jieba or other ports)
• memory-constrained environments, since the dictionary requires a large memory limit
