Lexicon Management

Lexicon Garden lets you create and manage lexicon schemas right on the website. You no longer need to edit JSON files or push to repositories. Instead, you can define, update, and publish lexicons straight from your browser.

To get started, sign in and go to your identity page. There, you’ll find an option to enable Lexicon Management. Accept the site policies, then pick a subdomain. This subdomain is a unique name for your account, like "stunning-leafcutter" or "expansive-kookaburra." If you don’t like the options, you can try again, but choose carefully because you won’t be able to change it later.

After you enable this feature, you can create lexicons under your Lexicon Garden subdomain or manage lexicons on domains you own. When you view a lexicon you own, you’ll see a new "Manage" section. There, you can check the resolution status and edit the schema definition directly.

The main advantage is the garden.lexicon.* namespace. Your subdomain can be used as a base NSID. For example, if you choose "stunning-leafcutter," you can create lexicons like garden.lexicon.stunning-leafcutter.example or garden.lexicon.stunning-leafcutter.music.album. DNS entries are set up automatically, so lexicon resolution works right away. You don’t need to configure TXT records or wait for propagation. Just create a lexicon and start using it immediately.

This turns Lexicon Garden into a real development environment for trying out new schemas. You can create a lexicon, test it, and change its structure without dealing with DNS or deployments. If you use your own domains, the manage page will show you exactly which DNS records to add for resolution to work.
