Module dictreader 

Open and read .dict or .dict.dz files.

This module contains traits and structs to work with uncompressed .dict and compressed .dict.dz files. These files contain the actual dictionary content. While these readers return the definitions, they do not do any post-processing. Definitions are normally plain text, but they could be HTML, or anything else, in theory (although plain text is the de facto default).

To understand some of the constants defined in this module or to understand the internals of the DictReaderDz struct, it is advisable to have a brief look at the GZip standard.
