A combination of tools for words.hk (粵典).

Parser

/// Parse the whole words.hk CSV database into a [Dict]
pub fn parse_dict() -> Result<Dict, Box<dyn Error>>

Located at /src/lib.rs

Parses all entries marked with OK and store the results as a list of entries. This parser is the very core of this library because its output is used by other functions like to_apple_dict. To boost efficiency, no regular expressions and backtracking are used. It is powered by a library called lip (written by myself) that provides flexible parser combinators and supports friendly error messages.
