Emoji List Repository 😀

This repository contains a JSON file with a list of emojis, their associated keywords, Unicode, categories, and text representations. It is designed to be easily used in JavaScript and Python applications.

Source

The emoji data is sourced from the Unicode Consortium's Full Emoji List, v15.1, which can be found here.

File Format

The data is stored in a JSON file with the following structure:

emoji-list.json

[
  {
    "emoji": "😀",
    "unicode": "U+1F600",
    "text": ":grinning_face:",
    "category": "Smileys & Emotion",
    "subcategory": "face-smiling",
    "keywords": ["grinning", "face", "smile"]
  },
  // ... more emoji entries
]

emoji-list-categories.json

{
  "Smileys & Emotion": [
    {
      "emoji": "😀",
      "unicode": "U+1F600",
      "text": "grinning face",
      "subcategory": "face-smiling",
      "keywords": [
        "face",
        "grin",
        "grinning face"
      ]
    },
    // ... more emoji entries

emoji-list-categories-subcategories.json

{
  "Smileys & Emotion": {
    "face-smiling": [
      {
        "emoji": "😀",
        "unicode": "U+1F600",
        "text": "grinning face",
        "keywords": [
          "face",
          "grin",
          "grinning face"
        ]
      },
      // ... more emoji entries

How to Use

JavaScript

To use this data in your JavaScript code, you can import the JSON file and search through the emojis based on keywords, Unicode, or text representation.

const emojis = require('./path-to/emoji-list.json');

// Example: Find an emoji by keyword
const keyword = 'smile';
const emoji = emojis.find(e => e.keywords.includes(keyword));
console.log(emoji);

Python

In Python, you can load the JSON file using the json module and perform similar searches.

import json

# Load the emoji data
with open('path-to/emoji-list.json', 'r') as file:
    emojis = json.load(file)

# Example: Find an emoji by keyword
keyword = 'smile'
emoji = next((e for e in emojis if keyword in e['keywords']), None)
print(emoji)
