# wordshk-tools

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

## Parser
```rust
/// 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](https://github.com/AlienKevin/lip) (written by myself) that provides
flexible parser combinators and supports friendly error messages.
