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.
