This Python module provides an extensive library for parsing, creating and otherwise processing documents in the `Format
for Linguistic Annotation <https://proycon.github.io/folia>`_, aka `FoLiA <https://proycon.github.io/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 <https://github.com/proycon/pynlpl>`_ (``pynlpl.formats.folia``), but has been
migrated to this standalone library in spring 2019.

Acknowledgement
----------------------------

FoLiA development is funded in the scope of the larger CLARIN-NL project and its successor CLARIAH.


The following modules are available:

* ``folia.main`` - The main library
* ``folia.setdefinition`` - A module for FoLiA Set Definitions
* ``folia.fql`` - Support for the FoLiA Query Language (FQL)


Installation
--------------------

Download and install the latest stable version directly from the Python Package
Index with ``pip install folia`` (or ``pip3`` for Python 3 on most
systems). For global installations prepend ``sudo``.

Alternatively, clone this repository and run ``python setup.py install`` (or
``python3 setup.py install`` for Python 3 on most system. Prepend ``sudo`` for
global installations.

The Python FoLiA library is also included in our `LaMachine <https://proycon.github.io/LaMachine>`_ distribution.
