About sentiment

thisandagain/sentiment

AFINN-based sentiment analysis for Node.js.

Combines the AFINN-165 lexicon with emoji sentiment scoring to analyze text polarity, returning detailed breakdowns including comparative scores normalized across document length. Supports extensibility through custom language registration with per-language negation and emphasis strategies, plus runtime word score overrides via extras. Built for Node.js with optimized performance (~2x faster than comparable libraries) through efficient tokenization and lexicon lookup.
