Individual consumers also want to know the opinions from existing users before purchasing product. Sentiment analysis is the computational treatment of user’s opinions, sentiments and subjectivity of text. In this paper we propose a framework for sentiment analysis using R software which can analyze sentiment of users on Twitter data using Twitter API.
