Go (golang) bindings for libstemmer

===================================



This simple library provides Go (golang) bindings for the snowball libstemmer library including the popular porter and porter2 algorithms.



Requirements

------------



You'll need the development package of libstemmer, usually this is simply a matter of:



    sudo apt-get install libstemmer-dev



... or you might need to [install it from source](http://snowball.tartarus.org/).



Installation

------------



First, ensure you have your GOPATH env variable set to the root of your Go project:



    export GOPATH=`pwd`

    export PATH=$PATH:$GOPATH/bin



Then this cute statement should do the trick:



    go get github.com/rjohnsondev/golibstemmer



Usage

-----



Basic usage:



    package main



    import "github.com/rjohnsondev/golibstemmer"

    import "fmt"

    import "os"



    func main() {

        s, err := stemmer.NewStemmer("english")

        defer s.Close()

        if err != nil {

            fmt.Println("Error creating stemmer: "+err.Error())

            os.Exit(1)

        }

        word := s.StemWord("happy")

        fmt.Println(word)

    }



To get a list of supported stemming algorithms:



    list := stemmer.GetSupportedLanguages()



Testing

-------



You can execute the basic included tests with:



    go test



If you have issues, double check you've installed the libstemmer development library.



If you still have issues, let me know!
