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)
