The Open Dictionary Project (ODict for short), is an open-source, modern alternative to dictionary file formats like StarDict, Babylon and Apple Dictionaries.

It is:

⚡ Fast. Entry lookups take less than 1s and don't require indexing.

🧠 Easy. ODict files are written using dead-simple XML and compiled to binary.

🤏 Tiny. A single dictionary can store thousands of entries and stay under 1MB.

📦 Portable. ODict is a single executable written in Rust that can run almost anywhere.
