Known weaknesses

Each one links to the public issue, changelog or docs page it came from, where we have one.

1. 01

   Limited language support beyond C++

   UCTO is primarily a C++ library, limiting its accessibility and ease of integration for developers working in other languages.

2. 02

   Complex setup process

   The documentation lacks clear instructions on setting up the environment, especially for users not familiar with C++ development environments.

3. 03

   Small community and limited support

   Given its niche focus and specific language requirements, UCTO has a relatively small user base which can lead to slower issue resolution and less frequent updates.

What it does well

• Unicode-aware tokenization

• Support for FoLiA format

• Regular-expression based tokenizer
