# Introduction

This is a parser for [Wordnet](https://wordnet.princeton.edu/)

dictionaries, written in 100% Rust.

# Completeness

The library poorly tested and incomplete.

Here are the unimplemented features:

* [lexicographical file numbers](https://wordnet.princeton.edu/man/lexnames.5WN.html)

* handling of word numbers in the synset

* verb exceptions

* verb sentences

* many more things

* There may be some `Send` and `Sync` traits that could be applied.

* Source-breaking changes will follow semantic versioning.

# Example

	let senses = wn.senses("horse");

	senses[0]

		.pointers.iter()

		.filter(|p| p.relationship == wordnet::Relationship::Hypernym)

		.map(|p| p.read())

		.for_each( |e| println!("a horse is an {}", e.synonyms[0].word));

	Output: A horse is an equine

# Robustness

If the database is corrupt then the library may panic.

I'm not clear on if there's a cause to use `Result`.

It is possible that there are bugs that may cause the

library to enter an infinite loop while parsing the database.

# Compatibility

The library is known to work on Linux and Windows.
