On the surface, Enchant appears to be a generic spell checking library. You
|
|
can request dictionaries from it, ask if a word is correctly spelled, get
|
|
corrections for a misspelled word, etc...
|
|
|
|
Beneath the surface, Enchant is a whole lot more - and less - than that.
|
|
You'll see that Enchant isn't really a spell checking library at all.
|
|
|
|
"What's that?" you ask. Well, Enchant doesn't try to do any of the work
|
|
itself. It's lazy, and requires backends to do most of its dirty work. Looking
|
|
closer, you'll see the Enchant is more-or-less a fancy wrapper around the
|
|
dlopen() system call. Enchant steps in to provide uniformity and conformity
|
|
on top of these libraries, and implement certain features that may be lacking
|
|
in any individual provider library. Everything should "just work" for any and
|
|
every definition of "just working."
