[Baypiggies] Online Dictionary/Thesaurus

[J C]

How would one convert the xml file? I am fairly new to programing etc. Are you sure this is required? Words are grouped by a particular range in the alphabet (shown in the file name). Words are in a particular tag with a corresponding unique identifier.

You'll want to convert it to something with faster lookups. XML is extremely slow compared to even the slowest database. But, it should be relatively simple to convert.

I was would like to ask what the best programming language is to develop an online dictionary/thesaurus similar to dictionary. com

Java?
Perl?
Python?
