Version history (text)

Based on the RiTa library for Java, RiTaJS was developed to provide a seamless transition for those wishing to work with programmatic natural language natively in the web browser. For server-side applications, RiTaJS also runs as a Node.js module. The RiTa tools are currently implemented for English with a Spanish version under development.
