Knwl.js is a JavaScript library that parses natural language text to extract specific information such as dates, times, phone numbers, email addresses, and places. It uses a plugin architecture where parser plugins provide new extraction abilities, with several default plugins included.

Use cases

• extract dates and times from free-form text
• find phone numbers and email addresses in strings
• detect place names mentioned in user input
• parse structured info out of emails or messages
• build a chatbot that understands dates in user text
• automatically extract entities from documents in Node.js or the browser

When to choose

• you need lightweight, client- or server-side entity extraction from English text without heavy ML models
• you want an extensible parser with a plugin system for custom entity types

When to avoid

• you need high-accuracy NER across many languages or complex entities - use an ML-based NLP library instead
• the project's future is uncertain per its own issue tracker, so avoid it for critical long-term dependencies
