Terminology

Terminology is a browser for the English language – part dictionary, part thesaurus, and part research tool. Protocol Launcher allows you to generate deep links to look up words and search in Terminology.

Usage

There are two ways to use this library:

  • On-Demand import from subpaths enables tree-shaking and keeps bundles small.
  • Full Import from the root package is convenient but includes all app modules.

Pick On-Demand for production builds; Full Import is fine for quick scripts or demos.
