Oxford Dictionary API Wrapper in Dart

The package is under development and doesn't have all API functionality. Feel free to contribute!

The Oxford Dictionaries API offers an easy way to access powerful lexical data (words, definitions, translations, audio pronunciations, synonyms, antonyms, parts of speech, and more) to use in your apps and websites.

To test package soundness there was 100 requests saved with according responses in test/fixtures/{entries,lemmas}/ folders. If you encounter any null value error please open an issue in repository Issues page.
