Chinese-CFdict

CFDICT

This is the French counterpart of the Cedcit Chinese-English dictionary.

The dictionary is delivered in an xml format.

I tranformed the original file in a new xml, csv and json formated files, with my own and similar format across my projects.

I first tranform the original into a json format with the same structure as the original with a command line utility. I then applied my programs to get the formats I wanted.

Original XML format:

<word>
    <id>30702</id>
    <upd>0</upd>
    <trad>〇</trad>
    <simp>〇</simp>
    <py>ling2</py>
    <trans>
        <fr><![CDATA[0]]></fr>
        <fr><![CDATA[zéro]]></fr>
    </trans>
</word>

Corresponding json:

{
        "id": [
          "30702"
        ],
        "upd": [
          "0"
        ],
        "trad": [
          "〇"
        ],
        "simp": [
          "〇"
        ],
        "py": [
          "ling2"
        ],
        "trans": [
          {
            "fr": [
              "0",
              "zéro"
            ]
          }
        ]
  }

After passing threw my programs:

• CSV: one line

  㱩 殰 dú avortement / mort-né CFdict

• xml: one record

    <hanzi>〇</hanzi>
    <traditional>〇</traditional>
    <pinyin>líng</pinyin>
    <translations>0</translations>
    <translations>zéro</translations>
    <origin>CFdict</origin>
  </ligne>
  

• json: the beginning and the first record

  "CFdict": [

    {
      "hanzi": "〇",
      "traditional": "〇",
      "pinyin": "líng",
      "translations": [
        "0",
        "zéro"
      ],
      "origin": "CFdict"
    }, etc ....
