The Java API for WordNet Searching (JAWS) is an API that provides Java applications with the ability to retrieve data from the WordNet database.

JAWS - the Java API for WordNet Searching (JAWS) is an API that provides Java applications with the ability to retrieve data from the WordNet (a large lexical database of English.) It is a simple and fast API that is compatible with both the 2.1 and 3.0 versions of the WordNet database files and can be used with Java 1.4 and later.

JAWS was created and is maintained by Brett Spell, a faculty member in the Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) department at Southern Methodist University.

The detailed JAWS API documentation (with help to get started) can be found here.
