Creating custom pipelines
In previous examples, we have seen how to use FreeLing analysis modules to process text, either as a whole document or in a never-ending stream.
But if one wants to run a long chain of modules, or needs to use it in different places in the application, the code may become messy and unpleasant to maintain.
For this reason, FreeLing provides the analyzer meta-module. This module allows the application to create a single instance that will contain all desired modules and call them appropriately. This makes code much simpler, since a single call is enough to get all required processing applied to a text.
It also makes it simpler to create a series of analysis pipelines (e.g. one for each language) inside the same application.
