# Kakasi for Ruby

A Ruby binding for KAKASI implemented with Fiddle/DL/FFI

## Description

This library is a port of Ruby/KAKASI to Ruby >=1.9.

Ruby/KAKASI was an extension library written by GOTO Kentaro for
ancient CRuby, which did not work with Ruby >=1.9 or JRuby,

This implementation uses Fiddle/DL/FFI as a bridge to libkakasi, so it
should work with any ruby that supports Fiddle/DL/FFI module, such as:

- Ruby 1.9.3 (DL)
- Ruby 2.0.0+ (Fiddle)
- Rubinius (Rubinius::FFI)
- JRuby (FFI)

## Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'kakasi'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install kakasi

## Usage

require 'kakasi'

Kakasi.kakasi('-w', 'Rubyから案山子を呼び出せます。')
#=> "Ruby から 案山子 を 呼び出せ ます 。"
