Simple English Dictionary

A simple English dictionary in JSON format - a list of words, with meanings.

These are the output files from tusharlock10's dictionary repo, which he uploaded to Dropbox (c/o Stack Overflow).

This repo includes multiple versions of the data: the original, a combined list, and a "kid-safe" version (for making kids apps/games). You can also tweak the filtering to your liking.

Usage

You can consume the data in a variety of formats:

• data contains the individual, raw files from tusharlock - they are broken out by letter.
• processed/merged.json contains a single JSON file with all the words in it.
• processed/filtered.json contains a version with filtered-out words, meanings, synonyms, and antonyms; you can see the list of filtered words in data/filter_words.txt

Creating your own Filtered List

You will need Python 3.x. Simply update filter_Words.txt and run python3 filter.py. Consider opening a PR, too!
