spaCy is an industrial-strength natural language processing library for Python and Cython, featuring pretrained pipelines for 70+ languages. It provides neural network models for tagging, parsing, named entity recognition, and text classification, plus a production-ready training system and transformer integration.

Use cases

• extract named entities from text
• tokenize and parse text in multiple languages
• classify documents with NLP
• train custom NER models
• integrate BERT transformers into NLP pipelines
• process large text corpora at high speed
• build production NLP pipelines in Python

When to choose

• you need fast, production-ready NLP in Python
• you want pretrained pipelines for many languages
• you need to train and deploy custom NLP models
• you're doing large-scale information extraction

When to avoid

• you need cutting-edge research models over production speed
• you want a pure PyTorch research framework
• you need languages without spaCy support
