### Usage

In Kotlin:

```kotlin

import io.github.stscoundrel.oldnorwegian.OldNorwegianDictionary
import io.github.stscoundrel.oldnorwegian.DictionaryEntry

// Whole dictionary of +42 000 entries
val dictionary = OldNorwegianDictionary()
val entries = dictionary.getEntries()

// Dictionaries return entries that consist of headword, part of speech and definition.
println(entries[25000].headword) // náðuliga
println(entries[25000].partOfSpeech) // adv
println(entries[25000].definition) // náðuliga, adv. 1) i

```

In Java:

```kotlin
// Imports are the same
import io.github.stscoundrel.oldnorwegian.OldNorwegianDictionary
import io.github.stscoundrel.oldnorwegian.DictionaryEntry

// Fetching dictionary dataset is the similar
OldNorwegianDictionary dictionary = new OldNorwegianDictionary();
List entries = dictionary.getEntries();

// Entry handling is different: Kotlin code uses data classes for entries.
// Therefore, the members of the classes are private in Java.
// Kotlin automatically generates getters for the members that you can use instead.
println(entries[25000].getHeadword()) // náðuliga
println(entries[25000].getPartOfSpeech()) // adv
println(entries[25000].getDefinition()) // náðuliga, adv. 1) i

```
