Is there any web mining Library in Node.js for sentiment analysis?

Question

I am doing sentiment analysis in Javascript using Node.js. I am looking for web mining packages in Node to clean a web page. Is there any built-in package for web mining in Node like we have in R tm.plugin.webmining Package?

Thank you

I do not think there are any high-quality web mining packages in Node.js. The reason is sentiment analysis is a process, which uses lot of CPU. Processes with this type are blocked in Node.js event loop, so you should avoid them.

In Node.js world, for this type of task we use child process. With this solution, you don't block event loop in main process and have ability to use any tool for child process. R for example.
