Documenting downstream CDSL applications #412

Ref - https://github.com/sanskrit-lexicon/LRV/issues/15#issuecomment-1509879739

This comment raised an issue about noting the APIs the downstream applications depend on. currently I am aware about two such applications.

  1. PyCDSL - a python wrapper, REPL and a command line wrapper.
  2. stardict files - for stardict viewers

I will try to document how both use CDSL data.

PyCDSL

https://pycdsl.readthedocs.io/en/latest/?version=latest

PyCDSL downloads web.zip folder for requested dictionaries from download section, and uses that data.

stardict-sanskrit

https://github.com/sanskrit-lexicon/cologne-stardict/blob/master/make_babylon.py

generates .babylon files from csl-orig/v02/xxx/xxx.txt file. These babylon files are used to generate stardict files.

Bablyon file structure is quite easy.

These babylon files are used to generate stardict files.

Where are they stored? How frequently regenerated?

drdhaval2785 commented 1 year ago

They are kept at https://github.com/sanskrit-lexicon/cologne-stardict and regenerated on whims and fancies of Dhaval. After regeneration, they are put at https://github.com/indic-dict/stardict-sanskrit from where downstream stardict application uses data.
