@etrog/export-dict

DICT protocol exporter for the Etrog Linguistic Linked Open Data library.

Converts an @etrog/core Lexicon into the two-file format used by the DICT protocol (RFC 2229, port 2628):

• .index — tab-delimited headword / base64-offset / base64-length entries
• .dict — sequential plain-text definition blocks, seekable via the index

Compatible with dictd and any RFC 2229 DICT client. Mapped fields include headwords, part of speech, IPA pronunciation, per-sense definitions, and {see also} cross-references from vartrans sense relations.

Installation

npm install @etrog/export-dict

Usage

import { exportDict } from "@etrog/export-dict";

const { index, dict } = exportDict(lexicon);
await Bun.write("my-dictionary.index", index);
await Bun.write("my-dictionary.dict", dict);

Full field mapping and dictzip compression notes are in the Etrog monorepo README.
