The JavaScript InfoVis Toolkit is a free set of tools for creating interactive data visualizations compatible with web standards. Visualization options include bar graphs, radial graphs, tree graphs and more, many integrating animations.
Analysis
JConcorder is Java software for building and managing word catalogues, originally released for the Macintosh as Concorder / Le Concordeur. Amongst its features are functions for listing and cataloguing words, generating concordances, exporting concordances and graphing frequencies. The original version is also available for download, but requires a legacy Macintosh operating system to run.
Creation
Jekyll is a simple, blog aware, static site generator. It takes a template directory containing raw text files in various formats, runs it through Textile or Markdown and Liquid converters, and creates a complete, static ready-to-publish website suitable for serving with your favorite web server. Jekyll also happens to be the engine behind GitHub Pages, which means you can use Jekyll to host your project’s page, blog, or website from GitHub’s servers for free.
Search
JEUDEMO was an information retrieval program developed at the University of Montreal in the 1970s. It built on and extended the functionality of COCOA by including Boolean search functions to search for patterns within a text such as co-occurences, but saw limited adoption as it required texts to be supplied on punched cards or paper tape and was programmed in a language exclusive to the CDC Cyber 74 computer system.
Analysis
JGAAP is software designed for textual analysis, text categorization, and authorship attribution
Visualization
Jigsaw is a free visual analytics application for exploring collections of documents such as text or spreadsheets. It is aimed at analysists and researchers, particularly to "help analysts reach more timely and accurate understandings of the larger stories and important concepts embedded throughout textual results" via a collection of visualizations representing aspects such as important entities and their interconnections. The visualizations include graph, temporal and connections-based, and can be viewed on a document or corpus level.
