A thesaurus library for Rust.
Add to Cargo.toml
thesaurus = "0.3.0"
thesaurus-rs is extremely simple library for simple programs that need a thesaurus, but don't have an internet connection. It relies on the thesaurus file from the Moby Project.
It's fairly simple to use: ```rust fn main() { let word = "good"; let results = thesaurus::synonym(word).unwrap();
println!("Found {} results for {}:", results.len(), word);
for word in results {
println!(" {word}");
}
} ```
Result:
Found 665 results for good:
acceptable
accomplished
according to Hoyle
ace
actual
adept
adequate
admirable
admissible
adroit
advantage

This library compresses the text file at build time into a file with gzip compression that is then built into the binary. This makes your binary significantly smaller than if it was stored uncompressed.
