A huge, huge onegai: JMnedict? #6

I'm so hesitant and ashamed to ask this—have you ever thought of a jmnedict-simplified, i.e., a JSON version of JMnedict, the Japanese names dictionary? A glance at the the XML file's DTD shows a lot of parallels with JMdict, but I'm not familiar enough with XPath to surmise how much or how little work this would be, so I'll just say that I love working with jmdict-simplified and would love a similar resource for JMnedict. Thanks for listening 🙇‍♂️!

It seems similar enough in general layout, with some differences in entries inner structure. I think it would be pretty easy to extend/generalize the current code to incorporate this dictionary. I will look into that in the next weekend.

Thank you for the suggestion.

OK, everything seems to be working. Updated the docs, pushed the release.

@vnenkpet I “watch” this repository, so GitHub notifies me whenever @scriptin adds more magic 🧙‍♂️!
