Jisho Word Viewer

View a word or japanese character meaning along with its reading. This is a WIP, and due to the nature of html scrapping, there's bound to be a lot of gotchas.

Usage

You can use it the classic OOP way.

val jpnObj = new JpnWord("ore").lookup.toString
println(jpnObj)

val engObj = new EngWord("rain").lookup.toString
println(engObj)

Or via implicit conversions.

import jisho.common.Implicits.strToWord
val jpnImplicit = "友達".lookup
println(jpnImplicit)

val engImplicit = "dog".lookup
println(engImplicit)

Or using string interpolators.

import jisho.common.Implicits._
val engUsingInterpolator = eng"car".lookup.toString
val jpnUsingInterpolator = jpn"夜".lookup.toString
