Stopwords for various languages in JSON format. Per [Wikipedia](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stop_words):

> 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](stopwords-all.json) (keyed by language ISO 639-1 code), or see the below table for individual language stopword files.
