onipa 🇬🇭📖Currently appreciating the beauty of JSON (and its mascot?)<br> <br> I'm working on a little project a lexicon/dictionary called texdict.py (name suggestions welcome). The <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/python?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#python</a> script attempts to convert a <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/TeXLaTeX?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TeXLaTeX</a> file with glossaries commands (<a href="https://ctan.org/pkg/glossaries" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://ctan.org/pkg/glossaries</a>) and some extra commands (which might be released under texdict.sty (or similar name)) into JSON format and vice-versa. JSON is so nice because it's human readable and computer readable. <br> <br> Do you know of any <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/LaTeX?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#LaTeX</a> packages and or <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/JSON?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#JSON</a> based libraries related to <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/dictionaries?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#dictionaries</a> or <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/lexicon?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#lexicon</a><br> <br> Also, I thought about using the texdict.sty file as the only source of truth for the tex2json and json2tex mapping, but haven't figured it out yet.
