🤗 Tokenizers provides an implementation of today's most used tokenizers, with a focus on performance and versatility. These tokenizers are also used in 🤗 Transformers.

Main features:

• Train new vocabularies and tokenize, using today's most used tokenizers.
• Extremely fast (both training and tokenization), thanks to the Rust implementation. Takes less than 20 seconds to tokenize a GB of text on a server's CPU.
• Easy to use, but also extremely versatile.
• Designed for both research and production.
