In this gist we provide 2 JSON files.
- joyo2010.json
joyo2010.jsonis a parsed JSON file to facilitate the search for Japanese Jōyō kanji readings.- It is retrieved from github.com/cjkvi/cjkvi-tables which is based on the "List of jōyō kanji" from Wikipedia with some modifications. Such as missing "kyu-jitai" ("旧字体", old kanji) that corresponds to the joyo-kanji.
- Currntly, it only supports 2,136 characters of "常用漢字" (Jōyō kanji) defined by the Japanese Ministry of Education in 2010.
- old_to_new_kanjis.json
old_to_new_kanjis.jsonis a JSON file that maps the Kyūjitai ("旧字体", old-form kanji) to Shinjitai ("新字体", new-form of kanji).- It is a simple key-value mapping. The key of each element is the "old-kanji" and the value is the corresponding "new-kanji".
- Currently, it supports 5,314 old-kanji characters.
- Note that it contains new-kanjis that are not in Jōyō kanjis.
