Japanese Kanji Dictionary (XJDIC)

by Joel R. Voss

This is an excellent example of well-written code bounding into the future. I am using XJDIC as a backend. It was written for kterm, an X terminal program. It has two features: stand-alone version and client-server version. The client-server version allowed me to write a PHP client for it, allowing it to act like a web service. Now, not only is the dictionary web-based, the only person who has to compile or install the program is the server admin, me. Everyone else gets access to the dictionary without any work.
