Markovify is a simple, extensible Python library for building Markov chain models from text corpora and generating random semi-plausible sentences from them. It is pure Python, supports JSON-serializable models, and offers highly customizable text parsing and sentence generation.

Use cases

• generate random sentences from a text corpus
• build a Markov chain text model in Python
• create a Twitter bot that tweets Markov-generated text
• generate fake headlines or song lyrics from existing text
• cache and reuse trained Markov models as JSON
• customize sentence generation rules for a specific corpus

When to choose

• you want a lightweight, pure-Python Markov chain text generator with minimal dependencies
• you need simple, extensible sentence generation from a large, well-punctuated corpus
• you want to serialize trained models to JSON for later reuse

When to avoid

• you need modern neural language models with coherent, context-aware output
• your corpus is small or poorly punctuated and you cannot preprocess it
• you need high-performance generation over massive datasets
