export

Export a language dataset to file.

Alias: x

Synopsis

unimorph export [OPTIONS]

Description

Exports a downloaded language dataset to a file in TSV or JSONL format. Useful for integrating with other tools, creating backups, or processing data with external programs.

Options

Option	Description
`-l, --lang <LANG>`	Language code (ISO 639-3)
`-o, --output <PATH>`	Output file path (use `-` for stdout)
`-F, --format <FORMAT>`	Output format: `tsv` or `jsonl` (auto-detected from extension)

Examples

Export to TSV

unimorph export -l heb -o hebrew.tsv

Exported 33177 entries to hebrew.tsv

Export to JSONL

unimorph export -l heb -o hebrew.jsonl

Or explicitly specify format:

unimorph export -l heb -o hebrew.json --format jsonl

Export to Stdout

Use -o - to write to stdout:

unimorph export -l heb -o - --format tsv | head -5

איבד	אאבד	V;1;SG;FUT
איבזר	אאבזר	V;1;SG;FUT
איבטח	אאבטח	V;1;SG;FUT
האביס	אאביס	V;1;SG;FUT
אבל	אאבל	V;1;SG;FUT

The status message goes to stderr, so piping works correctly:

unimorph export -l heb -o - 2>/dev/null | wc -l
33177

Scripting Examples

# Filter exported data
unimorph export -l heb -o - | grep "FUT" > future_forms.tsv

# Export and compress
unimorph export -l heb -o - | gzip > hebrew.tsv.gz

# Export multiple languages
for lang in heb ita deu; do
  unimorph export -l "$lang" -o "${lang}.tsv"
done

# Convert to CSV
unimorph export -l heb -o - | tr '\t' ',' > hebrew.csv

Output Formats

TSV (Tab-Separated Values)

lemma<TAB>form<TAB>features

Example:

hablar	hablo	V;IND;PRS;1;SG
hablar	hablas	V;IND;PRS;2;SG

JSONL (JSON Lines)

One JSON object per line:

{"lemma":"hablar","form":"hablo","features":"V;IND;PRS;1;SG"}
{"lemma":"hablar","form":"hablas","features":"V;IND;PRS;2;SG"}

Notes

Format is auto-detected from file extension (.tsv or .jsonl)
Use --format to override auto-detection
Stdout export writes status to stderr to avoid polluting data
