A lulzy ruby gem to scrape japanese-to-japanese definitions from Yahoo Daijisen Dictionary
My Japanese professor wanted a web app that could quickly find japanese-to-japanese definitions using Yahoo's daijisen dictionary.
gem install daijisenPass some furigana to a new daijisen query object
query = Daijisen::Query.new("漢字")You will now have access to a list of readings, examples, and links to specific definitions
query.defs[0].link
query.defs[0].reading
query.defs[0].example頑張って
