Crate jmdict_rs

source ·
Expand description

jmdict-rs is a simple and lightweight Rust library that provides an interface for accessing the JMdict Japanese language dictionary. Instead of using the original XML files, this library utilizes preprocessed JSON files from the jmdict-simplified project.

In order to reduce the crate size and to provide up-to-date entries, language data is downloaded at build time from the latest release of jmdict-simplified.

Installation

Add the following to your Cargo.toml file

[dependencies]
jmdict-rs = "0.1.2"

Usage

fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    let search = "楽勝";
    let entries = jmdict_rs::entries();

    let entry = entries.iter().find(|e| {
        e.kanji.iter().any(|k| k.text == search)
    }).unwrap();

    let texts: Vec<String> = entry.sense.iter().map(|s|
        s.gloss.iter().map(|g|
            g.text.clone()
        )
    ).flatten().collect();
    eprintln!("Search result = {:#?}", texts.iter().next().unwrap());

    Ok(())
}
