Module runtime_lexicon 

Runtime JSON-based lexicon loading (requires dynamic-lexicon feature).

This module provides dynamic lexicon loading as an alternative to compile-time code generation. It defines its own entry types (runtime::VerbEntry, etc.) for JSON deserialization, distinct from the compile-time types in types. Runtime lexicon loading for development builds.

This module provides dynamic JSON-based lexicon loading as an alternative to compile-time code generation. Enable with the dynamic-lexicon feature.

Architecture

The runtime lexicon trades compile-time safety for faster iteration during development. Instead of generating Rust code from lexicon.json at build time, this module embeds the JSON and parses it once at runtime when LexiconIndex::new() is called.

When to Use

• Development: Use dynamic-lexicon for faster edit-compile cycles when modifying the lexicon.
• Production: Disable this feature for compile-time validation and slightly faster startup.

JSON Format

The lexicon file must contain three top-level arrays:

• nouns: Array of NounEntry objects with lemma, optional forms, features, and sort
• verbs: Array of VerbEntry objects with lemma, class, optional forms, and features
• adjectives: Array of AdjectiveEntry objects with lemma, regular, and features

Example

use logicaffeine_lexicon::runtime::LexiconIndex;

let lexicon = LexiconIndex::new();
let proper_nouns = lexicon.proper_nouns();
assert!(!proper_nouns.is_empty());

Type Disambiguation

This module defines its own VerbEntry, NounEntry, and AdjectiveEntry types for JSON deserialization. These are distinct from crate::VerbEntry and other types in the parent crate::types module, which are used for compile-time generated lookups.

Structs

AdjectiveEntry

An adjective entry from the lexicon database.

LexiconData

Deserialized lexicon data from lexicon.json.

LexiconIndex

Index for querying the lexicon by features, sorts, and classes.

NounEntry

A noun entry from the lexicon database.

VerbEntry

A verb entry from the lexicon database.
