Pre-packaged Kanji dictionary library enables streaming of KanjiDict entries as sequences, facilitating integration with databases for efficient storage and retrieval. Uses date-based versioning.
Kotlin Multiplatform, pre-packaged Kanji dictionary!
All dictionary-related data comes from The KanjiDict Project, huge shoutout to them for making this possible!
The library is published to BOTH GitHub Packages AND Maven Central! Add it to your project with:
dependencies {
implementation("io.github.boswelja.kanjidict:kanjidic2:$version")
}We are currently publishing dev versions for Android and JVM platforms, with more on the way!
Versions are date-based, and are calculated as YYYY.MM.DD. Dev versions are suffixed with -dev,
for example 2025.05.25-dev. Dev versions are more prone to breaking changes compared to stable
versions, and are used to pilot large changes. Tests must pass for any release, but not all code in
dev may have tests.
On any platform, call streamKanjiDict() to get a sequence of KanjiDict entries Sequence<Character>, like so:
suspend fun main() {
streamKanjiDict().forEach { character ->
// `character` is a dictionary element
}
}We recommend taking these elements and storing them in a database of some kind for later use.
