langchain.text_splitter.RecursiveCharacterTextSplitter¶

class langchain.text_splitter.RecursiveCharacterTextSplitter(separators: Optional[List[str]] = None, keep_separator: bool = True, is_separator_regex: bool = False, **kwargs: Any)[source]¶

Splitting text by recursively look at characters.

Recursively tries to split by different characters to find one that works.

Create a new TextSplitter.
