The Doc Class

What is a Doc?

  • A Doc takes in our raw input text
  • A Doc returns a sequence of Token objects
  • A Doc object is an array of Token objects

Sample Code

>>> from spacy.tokens import Doc

# We can initialize Docs using nlp
>>> doc = nlp('Hello World! This is an example.')

# Check type of object
>>> type(doc)
spacy.tokens.doc.Doc

# Docs are basically arrays
>>> doc[0].text
'Hello'
>>> doc[2].text
'!'
>>> doc[5].text
'an'

# Check type of elements in Doc
>>> type(doc[0])
spacy.tokens.token.Token
