[](http://www.edrdg.org/kanjidic/kanjidic_doc.html) is a Kanji
dictionary created by Jim Breen and maintained by
_The Electronic Dictionary Research and Development Group_.
This project is a small Node.JS wrapper around it.
```shell
npm install kanjidic
```
```javascript
var kanjidic = require('kanjidic');
// get data on single kanji
var ame = kanjidic.lookup('雨');
// get JSON dump of the whole database
var dump = kanjidic.toJSON();
// this can be useful for further processing:
var subset = dump.filter(function(kanjiData) {
return kanjiData.oldJlptLevel >= 3;
})
.map(function(kanjiData) {
return _(kanjiData).pick('kanji', 'kunyomi', 'onyomi', 'meaning');
});
```
The data is returned in the following format:
