Textalyzer

Analyze key metrics like number of words, readability, complexity, etc. of any kind of text.

CLI	Web

Usage

# Word frequency histogram
textalyzer histogram <filepath>

# Find duplicated code blocks (default: minimum 3 non-empty lines)
textalyzer duplication <path> [<additional paths...>]

# Find duplications with at least 5 non-empty lines
textalyzer duplication --min-lines=5 <path> [<additional paths...>]

# Include single-line duplications
textalyzer duplication --min-lines=1 <path> [<additional paths...>]

# Output duplications as JSON
textalyzer duplication --json <path> [<additional paths...>]

Example JSON output:

[{
  "content": "<duplicated text block>",
  "locations": [
    { "path": "file1.txt", "line": 12 },
    { "path": "file2.txt", "line": 34 }
  ]
}, {
  "content": "<another duplicated block>",
  "locations": [
    { "path": "file1.txt", "line": 56 },
    { "path": "file3.txt", "line": 78 }
  ]
}]

The duplication command analyzes files for duplicated text blocks. It can: - Analyze multiple files or recursively scan directories - Filter duplications based on minimum number of non-empty lines with --min-lines=N (default: 2) - Detect single-line duplications when using --min-lines=1 - Rank duplications by number of consecutive lines - Show all occurrences with file and line references - Utilize multithreaded processing for optimal performance on all available CPU cores - Use memory mapping for efficient processing of large files with minimal memory overhead - Output duplication data as JSON with --json

Rewrite in Rust

This CLI tool was originally written in JavaScript and was later rewritten in Rust to improve the performance.

Before:

hyperfine --warmup 3 'time ./cli/index.js examples/1984.txt'
Benchmark #1: time ./cli/index.js examples/1984.txt
  Time (mean ± σ):     390.3 ms ±  15.6 ms    [User: 402.6 ms, System: 63.5 ms]
  Range (min … max):   366.7 ms … 425.7 ms

After:

hyperfine --warmup 3 'textalyzer histogram examples/1984.txt'
Benchmark #1: textalyzer histogram examples/1984.txt
  Time (mean ± σ):      40.4 ms ±   2.5 ms    [User: 36.0 ms, System: 2.7 ms]
  Range (min … max):    36.9 ms …  48.7 ms

Pretty impressive 10x performance improvement! 😁
