What is tidytext?
The tidytext package is a text mining package in R designed for compatibility with the tidyverse. It provides a framework for text mining and analysis using tidy data principles. It was developed by Julia Silge and David Robinson as part of the tidyverse ecosystem, which aims to make data analysis in R more efficient and intuitive.
