FoLiA Library for Python
This Python module provides an extensive library for parsing, creating and otherwise processing documents in the Format for Linguistic Annotation, aka FoLiA. It has been in active development since 2010 and used by numerous Natural Language Processing (NLP) tools.
This library used to be part of PyNLPL (pynlpl.formats.folia
), but has been
migrated to this standalone library in spring 2019.
