Wiktionary Parser

A python project which parses word content from Wiktionary in an easy to use JSON format. Right now, it parses etymologies, definitions, pronunciations, examples, audio links and related words.

    "pronunciations": {
        "text": ["pronunciation text"],
        "audio": ["pronunciation audio"]
    },
    "definitions": [{
        "relatedWords": [{
            "relationshipType": "word relationship type",
            "words": ["list of related words"]
        }],
        "text": ["list of definitions"],
        "partOfSpeech": "part of speech",
        "examples": ["list of examples"]
    }],
