A collection of dictionary data, configs, and test data for Simplified and Traditional Chinese conversions from the OpenCC project.
Compatibility
This package is intended for opencc-js, opencc-py, and other OpenCC-compatible implementations that consume OpenCC dictionary and config data.
- Strict Version Matching: Compatibility is only guaranteed when the version of
opencc-datastrictly matches the version of the consumer package. - Breaking Changes: We do not guarantee compatibility between different versions of
opencc-data. Structure or file names may change to align with upstream OpenCC updates.
Data Sync Policy
This package syncs dictionary .txt files and config .json files from OpenCC's generated resource zip, plus test/testcases/testcases.json from the upstream repository. Each sync keeps the upstream resource manifest as an internal baseline so future updates can detect substantive data changes by resource hash.
Usage
Use the config files shipped in data/config/ as the source of truth for dictionary order and conversion-chain behavior. Config contents can change between OpenCC versions, so consumers should load the matching config file for the package version they depend on instead of hard-coding dictionary lists from this README.
Dictionary text files are shipped in data/. Config files reference those dictionaries by file name and preserve OpenCC's stage/group ordering semantics.
Python consumers can install the opencc-data package from PyPI and use the opencc_data module to locate packaged resources:
import opencc_data
config_file = opencc_data.config_path("s2t.json")
dictionary_file = opencc_data.data_path("STCharacters.txt")
testcases_file = opencc_data.test_data_path("testcases.json")
Release versions match across npm and PyPI, such as 1.3.2. For next prereleases, PyPI uses the PEP 440 equivalent of the npm version: for example, 1.4.0-next.20260628 is published to PyPI as 1.4.0.dev20260628.
