Indic transliteration scala and java library

A collection of scala and java classes for some basic character level processing for the Sanskrit and other Indic (kannada, telugu, etc..) languages, contributed by the open source sanskrit-coders projects and friends. Some notable facilities: * Transliterate text from one script or encoding scheme to another. * Some grammar simulation. Examples: see https://github.com/sanskrit-coders/indic-transliteration Contributions and suggestions are invited at https://github.com/sanskrit-coders/indic-transliteration . (Sister projects there may also be of interest.)

Introduction

A collection of scala and java classes for some basic character level processing for the Sanskrit and other Indic (kannada, telugu, etc..) languages, contributed by the open source sanskrit-coders projects and friends. Some notable facilities:

• Transliterate text from one script or encoding scheme to another.

• Last update : 2017-05-??

Built output

• Final jar files
  • out/*.jar [all modules in intellij project]
  • target/*.jar [includes sources and javadocs in separate jars. indic-transliteration module only]

Libraries in other languages

• For python: indic-transliteration pip .
• For Java / Scala: indic-transliteration maven.
• For JS:
  • sanscript .
  • salita - limited to a few Roman transliterations and devanAgarI.
• PHP: Dicrunch and its use by akSharamukhA .

Contributors

Deployment

SBT:

• Use sbt command release to publish to maven repos.
• Use sbt command test and testOnly to run tests.
• You should be able to use it roughly immediately; and after many hours you should see at maven repo listings here.

Building a jar.

• Simplest way is to set up a build artifact in intellij IDea.

Technical choices

Scala

• One can write much more concise code (1/4th to 1/3rd relative to Java and 3/4ths to 5/6ths relative to Python, according to this )
  • For example, the ease with which one can iterate in scala using higher order functions (the maps, filters and zips above) available with scala's excellent collections library.
• while not sacrificing the ability to use java libraries, and readability/ speed of java.
• It is increasing in popularity relative to competitors : scala vs clojure ( Google trends ), scala vs julia ( Google trends ).
• Here is a good series of blog posts which provide an introduction to Scala.
