terms in Japan.

- see: [My tweet](https://x.com/kurone_kito/status/1817756249112617423)
## Pros
- This library provides dictionaries in JSON format, which is easier to
handle than XML or CSV distributed on the official website.
- Since this library is available via [npm](https://www.npmjs.com), it can
be used more quickly than clicking and downloading from the official site.
- The library also provides definitions of TypeScript.
## System Requirements
- Node.js
- Hydrogen LTS `>=18.20` or
- Iron LTS `>=20.10` or
- later versions
## Usage
```sh
npm i @kurone-kito/japanese-law-translation
```
```ts
import { j2e } from '@kurone-kito/japanese-law-translation';
// or
import j2eJson from '@kurone-kito/japanese-law-translation/j2e.json' with { type: 'json' };
console.log(j2e['法律']);
// Output: { kana: 'ほうりつ', translation: [{ phrase: 'law', usage: '法律一般としての意味の場合', ... }, ...], ... }
console.log(j2eJson['法律']);
// Output: { kana: 'ほうりつ', translation: [{ phrase: 'law', usage: '法律一般としての意味の場合', ... }, ...], ... }
```
