## 🛠️ Installation

```bash
pip install turbotok
```

## 🚀 Quick Start

### Basic Usage

```python
import turbotok

# Create tokenizer
tok = turbotok.TurboTok(mode="word")

# Tokenize text
tokens = tok.tokenize("Hello world! 🚀")
print(tokens)  # ['Hello', 'world', '!', '🚀']
```

### All Tokenization Modes

```python
text = "Hello world! This is TurboTok. 🚀"

# Byte mode (fastest)
tok_byte = turbotok.TurboTok(mode="byte")
byte_tokens = tok_byte.tokenize(text)  # [72, 101, 108, 108, 111, ...]

# Char mode (Unicode-safe)
tok_char = turbotok.TurboTok(mode="char")
char_tokens = tok_char.tokenize(text)  # ['H', 'e', 'l', 'l', 'o', ...]

# Word mode (default)
tok_word = turbotok.TurboTok(mode="word")
word_tokens = tok_word.tokenize(text)  # ['Hello', 'world', '!', 'This', ...]

# Sentence mode
tok_sentence = turbotok.TurboTok(mode="sentence")
sentence_tokens = tok_sentence.tokenize(text)  # ['Hello world!', 'This is TurboTok.', '🚀']
```

## 🎯 Advanced Features

### Custom Vocabulary Support

```python
# Create tokenizer with custom vocabulary
vocab = {"Hello", "world", "TurboTok", "Python", "NumPy"}
tok = turbotok.TurboTok(mode="word", vocabulary=vocab)

# Only tokens in vocabulary are returned
tokens = tok.tokenize("Hello world! This is TurboTok.")
print(tokens)  # ['Hello', 'world', 'TurboTok']

# Add tokens dynamically
tok.add_to_vocabulary(["amazing", "performance"])
tok.remove_from_vocabulary("Hello")

# Clear vocabulary
tok.clear_vocabulary()
```

### Subword Tokenization

```python
# BPE-style subword tokenization
tok_bpe = turbotok.TurboTok(mode="word", subword_mode="bpe", max_subword_length=3)
tokens = tok_bpe.tokenize("supercalifragilisticexpialidocious")
print(tokens)  # ['sup', 'erc', 'ali', 'fra', 'gil', ...]

# WordPiece-style subword tokenization
tok_wp = turbotok.TurboTok(mode="word", subword_mode="wordpiece", max_subword_length=4)
tokens = tok_wp.tokenize("internationalization")
print(tokens)  # ['inte', 'rnat', 'iona', 'liza', 'tion']
```

### Streaming Tokenization

```python
# Stream tokenize large files
tok = turbotok.TurboTok(mode="sentence")

for tokens in tok.tokenize_stream("large_file.txt", chunk_size=8192):
    # Process each chunk of tokens
    print(f"Processed {len(tokens)} tokens")
```

### Batch Processing

```python
# Ultra-efficient batch tokenization
texts = [
    "Hello world!",
    "Machine learning is amazing!",
    "Python programming with NumPy.",
    "Natural language processing."
]

tok = turbotok.TurboTok(mode="word")
batch_tokens = tok.tokenize_batch(texts)

for i, tokens in enumerate(batch_tokens):
    print(f"Text {i+1}: {tokens}")
```

### Token Statistics & Analysis

```python
tok = turbotok.TurboTok(mode="word")

# Get comprehensive statistics
stats = tok.get_stats("Hello world! This is TurboTok. 🚀")
print(stats)
# {
#     'mode': 'word',
#     'token_count': 8,
#     'avg_token_length': 4.25,
#     'max_token_length': 7,
#     'min_token_length': 1,
#     'text_length': 34,
#     'compression_ratio': 4.25,
#     'vocabulary_size': None,
#     'subword_mode': None
# }

# Token frequency analysis
texts = ["Hello world!", "Hello Python!", "Hello TurboTok!"]
frequencies = tok.get_token_frequencies(texts)
most_common = tok.get_most_common_tokens(texts, top_k=3)
print(most_common)  # [('Hello', 3), ('world', 1), ('Python', 1)]
```

### Vocabulary Management

```python
tok = turbotok.TurboTok(mode="word")

# Build vocabulary from texts
texts = ["Hello world!", "Machine learning!", "Python programming!"]
frequencies = tok.get_token_frequencies(texts)
tok.add_to_vocabulary(frequencies.keys())

# Save vocabulary to file
tok.save_vocabulary("my_vocab.txt")

# Load vocabulary in new tokenizer
new_tok = turbotok.TurboTok(mode="word")
new_tok.load_vocabulary("my_vocab.txt")
```

- `add_to_vocabulary(tokens: Union[str, List[str], Set[str]])`: Add tokens to vocabulary
- `remove_from_vocabulary(tokens: Union[str, List[str], Set[str]])`: Remove tokens from vocabulary
- `clear_vocabulary()`: Clear vocabulary filter
- `get_vocabulary() -> Optional[Set[str]]`: Get current vocabulary
- `save_vocabulary(file_path: str)`: Save vocabulary to file
- `load_vocabulary(file_path: str)`: Load vocabulary from file

**Analysis & Statistics**
- `get_stats(text: str) -> dict`: Get tokenization statistics
- `get_token_frequencies(texts: List[str]) -> Dict[str, int]`: Get token frequencies
- `get_most_common_tokens(texts: List[str], top_k: int = 10) -> List[tuple]`: Get most common tokens

## ⚡ Performance Philosophy

TurboTok is built around these core principles:

1. **NumPy Vectorization**: Leverage SIMD operations and C-level speed
2. **Memory Efficiency**: Use memory views and pre-allocation
3. **Minimal Python Loops**: Avoid slow Python iteration
4. **Optimized Regex**: Pre-compiled patterns with atomic groups
5. **Batch Processing**: Process multiple texts efficiently
