XDXF (XML Dictionary eXchange Format) is a project to unite all existing open dictionaries and provide both users and developers with universal XML-based format, convertible from and to other popular formats like Mova, PtkDic, StarDict.

Available dictionaries

As of December 15, 2006 XDXF project repository contains 615 dictionaries, which have in total 936,189,613 byte compressed size and 24,804,355 articles

Software

GUIs

XDXF file format is used by Atlantida, WiseDict, mDictionary on Maemo and MeeGo platform, Alpus, SimpleDict, GoldenDict and Stardict fork. Stardict starting with version 2.4.6 has basic support for XDXF.

Converters

Project has converters from DSL and Atlantida formats, and a "many to many" converter tool makedict.

Alternatives

The dicML markup languages serve a similar purpose. Currently, neither concept is specified completely. For example, XDXF lacks elements to annotate possible hyphenations, while the recent working draft of dicML does not include elements to describe the etymology of words.
