A few months ago I wrote about an experimental RubyCocoa-based Japanese dictionary I created to help me learning Japanese. And on the same occasion, I investigated the Ferret indexing engine (which rocks) and wrote Ruby bindings to the xmlTextReader API (to parse the JMDict dictionary file faster).

In the meantime the xmlTextReader bindings have been committed to the ruby-libxml project, with both API reference documentation and some tests. But... I still didn't really show the Ruby sources. To be honest I missed the time.

Someone recently asked me for them, so I just cleaned the code, and here we go:

  $ svn co https://rubycocoa.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/rubycocoa/branches/users/lrz/Jisho
  $ open README
  $ xcodebuild

When cleaning the code I couldn't resist adding stuff, like an history and registering the program as a service.

Enjoy! Even my girlfriend made a pretty nice icon.
