//! # webster-rs
//! A Rust library containing an offline version of webster's dictionary.
//!
//! ```
//! webster = 0.2.0
//! ```
//!
//! ```rust
//! fn main() {
//!     let word = "silence";
//!
//!     let definition = webster::definition(word).unwrap();
//!
//!     println!("{} definition: {}", word, definition);
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! The definitions are not *great* but they'll do for simple projects if you need an open source local dictionary API.

    match &DICT[word.as_ref().to_uppercase()] {
        Value::String(string) => return Some(string.to_string()),
        &_ => return None,
    }
