thesaurus-rs

The offline thesaurus library for Rust that can use both wordnet and moby backends.

Add to Cargo.toml for wordnet: toml thesaurus = { version = "0.4.0", features = ["wordnet"] }

Add to Cargo.toml for moby (wordnet is on by default): toml thesaurus = { version = "0.4.0", features = ["moby"], default_features = false }

Both moby and wordnet have the same APIs, but they are included in different modules so you can use both in the same binary (in theory).

Backend Comparison

Name | Simple Example Binary Size | Simple Example Binary Size (Stripped) | Available Words | Average Number of Synonyms | Compressed Dictionary Size | License ---|---|---|---|---|---|--- Moby | 15M | 11M | 30259 | 83.287 | 11M | US Public Domain Wordnet | 6.9M | 3.4M | 125701 | 3.394 | 2.9M | Wordnet License

Basic Wordnet Example

```rust use thesaurus::wordnet;

fn main() { let word = "good"; let results = wordnet::synonyms(word).unwrap();

println!("Found {} results for {}:", results.len(), word);

for word in results {
    println!("  {word}");
}

} ```

Result: none Found 107 results for good: skilled skilful practiced skillful expert adept proficient sainted ...
