Is anyone aware of any JavaScript implementations of UAX #29, Unicode Text Segmentation? I'm specifically interested in Word Boundaries.

I was hopeful when I came across XRegExp, but it seems to use the standard JavaScript implementation of \b.

https://github.com/orling/grapheme-splitter is a pure js implementation of UAX #29 Grapheme Cluster Boundaries.

There is also an ES proposal on implementing Intl.Segmenter using UAX #29, see https://github.com/tc39/proposal-intl-segmenter.

https://www.npmjs.com/package/node-word-boundaries is one, but it requires Node for some unix native unicode libs; it's not pure js.
