Dictionary Lookup

Look up any word and read its definitions — nested JSON, unpacked.

Type a word, get its pronunciation and definitions grouped by part of speech. The data comes back as arrays inside objects inside arrays, so this is your lesson in reading real, nested JSON.

• Definitions grouped by part of speech
• Reading deeply nested JSON, step by step
• Handles "word not found" (404) cleanly
• Shows examples where the API provides them
• Free API, no key required
