Finding hyponyms and antonyms

Hyponyms and antonyms can be useful in identifying similar words. In this recipe, we will use the JAWS API to perform this task. This API uses the WordNet database as the source of words and their usage.

A hyponym is a word that is similar, but more precise, in meaning to another word. An antonym of a word is a word that has the opposite meaning. For example, the word sailor is a hyponym of person, and buy is an antonym for sell.
