Support reading KANJIDIC #386

Open epistularum opened 2 years ago

epistularum commented 2 years ago

JMDict and JMnedict can both be extracted already, so perhaps there's a reason Kanjidic isn't supported but I believe it would be a useful addition.

edit: Just realized that the conversion of JMnedict is not supported. It does accept the format and converts it but it only exports the writings and readings, discarding any other information. I believe a partial export is only possible because of how similar the file format is to JMdict. Perhaps it is also worth adding support for?

Where can I download JMnedict files?

Sorry about that, here it is: https://www.edrdg.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page#The_ENAMDICT/JMnedict_Project

Added JMnedict. Please try and let me know if it's all good (data, formatting etc).

epistularum commented 2 years ago

It looks good, thank you very much for adding support for it!

This library's code should be useful: https://github.com/neocl/jamdict
