Aromanize-js

Korean transliteration utility for JavaScript

Aromanize extends the functionality of JavaScript’s String class for romanizing Hangul (한글) to Latin (로마자/Romaja) script.

Usage

HTML

Include aromanize.js into your HTML page. All is set!

<script type="text/javascript" src="aromanize.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
    // Converts to Latin script
    "안녕하세요?".romanize(); // annyeonghaseyo?
    // Alternative way to romanize
    Aromanize.romanize("안녕하세요?"); // annyeonghaseyo?
    // Romanize using RR Transliteration rule
    Aromanize.hangulToLatin("잘 먹었습니다.", 'rr-translit'); // jal meog-eoss-seubnida.
</script>

If you don’t want to extend String class, include aromanize.js?base where you can still access all functions through Aromanize object.

<script type="text/javascript" src="aromanize.js?base"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
    // Converts to Latin script
    Aromanize.romanize("안녕하세요?"); // annyeonghaseyo?
</script>

Node.js

This module can be installed via npm:

$ npm install aromanize --save

var Aromanize = require("aromanize");
// Converts to Latin script
"안녕하세요?".romanize(); // annyeonghaseyo?
// Alternative way to romanize
Aromanize.romanize("안녕하세요?"); // annyeonghaseyo?
// Romanize using RR Transliteration rule
Aromanize.hangulToLatin("잘 먹었습니다.", 'rr-translit'); // jal meog-eoss-seubnida.

If you don’t want to extend String class, use var Aromanize = require("aromanize/base"); where you can still access all functions through Aromanize object.

var Aromanize = require("aromanize/base");
// Converts to Latin script
Aromanize.romanize("안녕하세요?"); // annyeonghaseyo?
