A blazingly-fast, offline-first format and toolchain for lexical data 📖



Go

The Open Dictionary Project (ODict for short), is an open-source, modern alternative to dictionary file formats like StarDict, Babylon and Apple Dictionaries.

It is:

:zap: Fast. Entry lookups take less than 1s and don't require indexing.

:brain: Easy. ODict files are written using dead-simple XML and compiled to binary.

:pinching_hand: Tiny. A single dictionary can store thousands of entries and stay under 1MB.

:package: Portable. ODict is a single executable written in Go that can run almost anywhere.
