Replace API with file database #6

Closed michael-0acf4 closed 9 months ago

jotoba API seems unreliable (for now). We could do some cleanups like https://github.com/Jackson-S/japanese-dictionary

Indeed more work to do, but maybe tackle at the end and focus more on the UX instead.

All relevants metadatas (spellings, inflections, ..etc) are already available for JMdict anyways. https://www.edrdg.org/wiki/index.php/JMdict-EDICT_Dictionary_Project

This looks really great, building a full featured database is a hard task and I was looking for things like this. It's worth considering, it's also a chance to write a full featured app with actual backend end. It also solves #3.

Thanks for the idea, I'll take a closer look tomorrow :)

I just found out that this just converts the xml into the xml format used by the dictionary app and not into a more query friendly format. I think I'll keep this project as it is (using jotoba APIs) and make another one by building my own db, probably not going to be a web app.

Makes sense, I will close this issue then.
