# Whitespace tokenizer [analysis-whitespace-tokenizer]
The `whitespace` tokenizer breaks text into terms whenever it encounters a whitespace character.
## Example output [_example_output_19]
```console
POST _analyze
{
"tokenizer": "whitespace",
"text": "The 2 QUICK Brown-Foxes jumped over the lazy dog's bone."
}
```
The above sentence would produce the following terms:
```text
[ The, 2, QUICK, Brown-Foxes, jumped, over, the, lazy, dog's, bone. ]
```
## Configuration [_configuration_22]
The `whitespace` tokenizer accepts the following parameters:
`max_token_length`
: The maximum token length. If a token is seen that exceeds this length then it is split at `max_token_length` intervals. Defaults to `255`.
