Class Dictionary

java.lang.Object

morfologik.stemming.Dictionary

public final class Dictionary
extends java.lang.Object

A dictionary combines FSA automaton and DictionaryMetadata describing the way terms are encoded in the automaton.

A dictionary consists of two files:

• an actual compressed FSA file,
• DictionaryMetadata, describing the way terms are encoded.

Constructor Detail

Dictionary

public Dictionary(morfologik.fsa.FSA fsa,
                  DictionaryMetadata metadata)

It is strongly recommended to use static methods in this class for reading dictionaries.

Parameters:

fsa - An instantiated FSA instance.

metadata - A map of attributes describing the compression format and other settings not contained in the FSA automaton. For an explanation of available attributes and their possible values, see DictionaryMetadata.

Method Detail

read

public static Dictionary read(java.nio.file.Path location)
                       throws java.io.IOException

Attempts to load a dictionary using the path to the FSA file and the expected metadata extension.

Parameters:

location - The location of the dictionary file (*.dict).

Returns:

An instantiated dictionary.

Throws:

java.io.IOException - if an I/O error occurs.

read

public static Dictionary read(java.net.URL dictURL)
                       throws java.io.IOException

Attempts to load a dictionary using the URL to the FSA file and the expected metadata extension.

Parameters:

dictURL - The URL pointing to the dictionary file (*.dict).

Returns:

An instantiated dictionary.

Throws:

java.io.IOException - if an I/O error occurs.

read

public static Dictionary read(java.io.InputStream fsaStream,
                              java.io.InputStream metadataStream)
                       throws java.io.IOException

Attempts to load a dictionary from opened streams of FSA dictionary data and associated metadata. Input streams are not closed automatically.

Parameters:

fsaStream - The stream with FSA data

metadataStream - The stream with metadata

Returns:

Returns an instantiated Dictionary.

Throws:

java.io.IOException - if an I/O error occurs.
