Files for Programmers in Spanish

Verb Infinitive Dictionary

• The Java Programming Languages' "Serialized Objects" interfaces are how data-files are stored.
• Files ending with "dat" are data-files created using the Object Serialization of Java Data-Set objects.
• Each ".dat" (either tmdat or tsdat) contain 1 Java Serialized Object - either a TreeSet or TreeMap
• They have been compressed using Java's ZIP/Compressed output stream class in java.io.Serializable & java.util.zip
• ".tmdat" is short for "TreeMap<String, String> data file"
• They can be directly loaded from disk using simple java commands into memory.
• Dictionaries are stored as TreeMaps, and to look up a word, just search for a vocabulary using the key!
• Three Dicitonaries are provided here: Neo, Harrap, and Collins - they were scraped from SpanishDict.com
• These verb-dictionaries only permit the word to be looked up using THE INFINITIVE VERB FORM
