It will not work on PHP5. Demo ---- [](#demo) Download the current CC-CEDICT file from into the demo folder. ``` cd demo composer install wget -O cedict.gz https://www.mdbg.net/chinese/export/cedict/cedict_1_0_ts_utf-8_mdbg.txt.gz php -f index.php ``` About ----- [](#about) Reads from a CC-CEDICT Chinese dictionary file, and outputs structured data. Options ------- [](#options) ### Required settings [](#required-settings) - setFilePath() sets path of file to extract and process ### Optional settings [](#optional-settings) - setBlockSize(int) sets block size to read and parse at a time - setStartLine(int) in case you don't want to start from the beginning - setNumberOfBlocks(float) in case you don't want to read all the way to the end. You can use INF. - setOptions(array) define which data you want returned (see below) Returned data ------------- [](#returned-data) The parser will return an array with: - an array of Entry objects filled with data as per your configuration (see below) - an array of any skipped lines - the number of parsed lines - the number of skipped lines ### Basic Entry object [](#basic-entry-object) By default, the parser will fill the Entry object with: - an array of English translations from the dictionary entry - an array of traditional characters from the dictionary entry - an array of simplified characters from the dictionary entry ### Customising the Entry object [](#customising-the-entry-object) With setOptions(array) (see above), you can change the data included in the Entry object. If any options are set, the Entry will not include any data that is not specified with setOptions()! - `Entry::F_ORIGINAL` includes the original unparsed line from CC-CEDICT - `Entry::F_TRADITIONAL` includes a string with the dictionary entry in traditional characters - `Entry::F_SIMPLIFIED` same as above but in simplified characters - `Entry::F_PINYIN` includes a string of pinyin as formatted in CC-CEDICT (numeric but with ideosyncrasies) - `Entry::F_PINYIN_NUMERIC` includes a string of pinyin converted to numeric Hanyu Pinyin - `Entry::F_PINYIN_DIACRITIC` includes a string of pinyin converted to Hanyu Pinyin with diacritics - `Entry::F_ENGLISH` includes a string with all the English translations for the dictionary entry - `Entry::F_ENGLISH_EXPANDED` includes an array with the above English translations - `Entry::F_TRADITIONAL_CHARS` includes an array of all traditional characters in the dictionary entry - `Entry::F_SIMPLIFIED_CHARS` same as above but with simplified characters Limitations, bugs, roadmap -------------------------- [](#limitations-bugs-roadmap) ### Opportunities for improvement [](#opportunities-for-improvement) - Well perhaps it could output various formats (e.g. JSON) instead of simply arrays? - Any further Chinese in the English translation (references, alternative spellings, or full forms of abbreviations) could be structured and nested - getFull() still needs to be described (and made accessible, or removed) ### Health Score 27 — LowBetter than 47% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity26 Limited adoption so far Community19 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity38 Early-stage or recently created project Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 59.1% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
