Stopwords for various languages in JSON format. Per Wikipedia:
Stop words are words which are filtered out prior to, or after, processing of natural language data [...] these are some of the most common, short function words, such as the, is, at, which, and on.
You can use all stopwords with stopwords-all.json (keyed by language ISO 639-1 code), or see the below table for individual language stopword files.
