## What it is
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

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: nlp, parser, search-engine
- domain: machine-learning
- platform: php, cross-platform
- tags: chinese-text-segmentation, word-segmentation, jieba, cjk, traditional-chinese, tf-idf, pos-tagging, hmm, natural-language-processing, search
