EDRDG makes JMdict_e_examp.gz anew every day: JMdict in English with Tatoeba's sentences on the meanings, the file jmdict-simplified's examples edition is made from once a week. The curator now reads it directly (a file not named .json is read as XML), streaming 72 MB of XML in some 30 seconds and 300 MB, each entry put into the shape jmdict-simplified gives it and made an entry by the same code: against jmdict-simplified's conversion of four days before, the entries differ only by JMdict's edits since. JMdict's entities stay codes (`&v1;` is `v1`), text cut between two chunks is joined before its entities are read (the xml package's normalizeEvents), and a sense without parts of speech has the previous sense's, as JMdict's DTD says. Its version is the day it was made. So an instance can keep its dictionaries current from the source alone, as EDRDG's licence asks of servers (at least monthly).
