This project contains three main tools.

Running jmdict-toolkit fetch will download the latest gzipped JMDICT from Monash University's FTP server.

Run jmdict-toolkit parse.

The JMDict project is one of the most popular Japanese-Multilingual dictionaries available today. Many apps are built off of it (in addition to KANJIDIC). The dictionary is free and is in XML format (with a related DTD).

There have been many projects that parse the XML into various formats. This specific implementation has clean 1 to 1 struct declarations with fullnames for each field. The ORM (gorm) handles the relationships between the entries.

SQLite is used as the main DB but in the future a graph based database will be used for more innovative methods of querying the dictionary (Cayley).
