## What it is
A JavaScript implementation of Twitter's text processing library for parsing tweets, extracting entities like hashtags, mentions, URLs, and validating tweet lengths. This repository is deprecated and merged into the twitter-text mono-repo.

## Use cases
- extract hashtags and mentions from tweet text
- validate tweet character length
- parse URLs in tweets
- autolink entities in tweet text
- count weighted characters for twitter length limits

## When to choose
- you need Twitter text parsing in JavaScript and are pinned to this legacy repo
- you want a battle-tested implementation of Twitter's text rules

## When to avoid
- starting a new project - use the twitter/twitter-text mono-repo instead
- you need actively maintained or updated text processing rules
