icu_segmenter

Segment strings by lines, graphemes, words, and sentences.

This module is published as its own crate (icu_segmenter) and as part of the icu crate. See the latter for more details on the ICU4X project.

This module contains segmenter implementation for the following rules.

• Line segmenter that is compatible with Unicode Standard Annex #14, Unicode Line Breaking Algorithm, with options to tailor line-breaking behavior for CSS line-break and word-break properties.
• Grapheme cluster segmenter, word segmenter, and sentence segmenter that are compatible with Unicode Standard Annex #29, Unicode Text Segmentation.

Examples

Line Break

Find line break opportunities:

use icu::segmenter::LineSegmenter;

let segmenter = LineSegmenter::new_auto();

let breakpoints: Vec<usize> = segmenter
    .segment_str("Hello World. Xin chào thế giới!")
    .collect();
assert_eq!(&breakpoints, &[0, 6, 13, 17, 23, 29, 36]);

See [LineSegmenter] for more examples.

Grapheme Cluster Break

Find all grapheme cluster boundaries:

use icu::segmenter::GraphemeClusterSegmenter;

let segmenter = GraphemeClusterSegmenter::new();

let breakpoints: Vec<usize> = segmenter
    .segment_str("Hello World. Xin chào thế giới!")
    .collect();
assert_eq!(
    &breakpoints,
    &[
        0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18,
        19, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 28, 29, 30, 31, 34, 35, 36
    ]
);

See [GraphemeClusterSegmenter] for more examples.

Word Break

Find all word boundaries:

use icu::segmenter::WordSegmenter;

let segmenter = WordSegmenter::new_auto();

let breakpoints: Vec<usize> = segmenter
    .segment_str("Hello World. Xin chào thế giới!")
    .collect();
assert_eq!(
    &breakpoints,
    &[0, 5, 6, 11, 12, 13, 16, 17, 22, 23, 28, 29, 35, 36]
);

See [WordSegmenter] for more examples.

Sentence Break

Segment the string into sentences:

use icu::segmenter::SentenceSegmenter;

let segmenter = SentenceSegmenter::new();

let breakpoints: Vec<usize> = segmenter
    .segment_str("Hello World. Xin chào thế giới!")
    .collect();
assert_eq!(&breakpoints, &[0, 13, 36]);

See [SentenceSegmenter] for more examples.
