Text Chunker

This node splits large texts into smaller overlapping chunks.

Text chunking is a technique for splitting larger documents into smaller paragraphs. The chunks overlap to contain a piece of the context. Chunk size and overlap can be configured.

For generic texts, the node will try to keep semantic relations by prioritizing to place sentences within a paragraph in the same chunk. If a specific programming or formatting language is specified, the node considers language-specific syntax when splitting the document.
