TextBlob is a natural language processing library that provides a unified interface for common linguistic tasks. It operates as a wrapper-based API, simplifying the use of complex processing libraries by delegating core operations to specialized external frameworks.
The project features a pluggable processing pipeline that allows for the integration of custom logic and alternative language engines. It supports the extension of processing models through plugins to add specific language support or custom data processing.
The library covers a broad range of linguistic capabilities, including sentiment analysis for calculating polarity and subjectivity, text classification, and linguistic pattern extraction. It also provides tools for text data normalization, such as spelling correction, lemmatization, and part-of-speech tagging, alongside utilities for parsing sentence structure, tokenization, and language translation.
