Public API and Backward Incompatible Changes

Implement methods to get synonym groups

This improvement adds a method to get synonyms for a specific word from the synonym dictionary. Also, this improvement adds methods for getting the groups of synonyms to which a certain word belongs in the dictionary, and for getting all groups of synonyms contained in the dictionary.

Public API changes

Method String[] getSynonyms(String) has been added to com.groupdocs.search.dictionaries.SynonymDictionary class.
Method String[][] getSynonymGroups(String) has been added to com.groupdocs.search.dictionaries.SynonymDictionary class.
Method String[][] getAllSynonymGroups() has been added to com.groupdocs.search.dictionaries.SynonymDictionary class.

Use cases

The following example demonstrates how to get synonyms for a word and how to get synonym groups to which a word belongs to.

Java

// Creating an index in memory with default synonym dictionary
Index index = new Index();

// Getting synonyms for word 'make'
String[] synonyms = index.getDictionaries().getSynonymDictionary().getSynonyms("make");
System.out.println("Synonyms for 'make':");
for (String synonym : synonyms) {
    System.out.println(synonym);
}

// Getting groups of synonyms to which word 'make' belongs to
String[][] groups = index.getDictionaries().getSynonymDictionary().getSynonymGroups("make");
System.out.println("Synonym groups for 'make':");
for (String[] group : groups) {
    for (String group1 : group) {
        System.out.print(group1 + " ");
    }
    System.out.println();
}

Implement methods to get homophone groups

This improvement adds a method to get homophones for a specific word from the homophone dictionary. Also, this improvement adds methods for getting the groups of homophones to which a certain word belongs in the dictionary, and for getting all groups of homophones contained in the dictionary.

Public API changes

Method String[] getHomophones(String) has been added to com.groupdocs.search.dictionaries.HomophoneDictionary class.
Method String[][] getHomophoneGroups(String) has been added to com.groupdocs.search.dictionaries.HomophoneDictionary class.
Method String[][] getAllHomophoneGroups() has been added to com.groupdocs.search.dictionaries.HomophoneDictionary class.

The following example demonstrates how to get homophones for a word and how to get homophone groups to which a word belongs to.

Java

// Creating an index in memory with default homophone dictionary
Index index = new Index();

// Getting homophones for word 'braid'
String[] homophones = index.getDictionaries().getHomophoneDictionary().getHomophones("braid");
System.out.println("Homophones for 'braid':");
for (String homophone : homophones) {
    System.out.println(homophone);
}

// Getting groups of homophones to which word 'braid' belongs to
String[][] groups = index.getDictionaries().getHomophoneDictionary().getHomophoneGroups("braid");
System.out.println("Homophone groups for 'braid':");
for (String[] group : groups) {
    for (String group1 : group) {
        System.out.print(group1 + " ");
    }
    System.out.println();
}
