@d33tah the only thing I can find is that it's [open source](http://www.chise.org/index.en.html) and [copyrighted](http://www.chise.org/ids-find)...maybe I didn't look in the right places.

<p>I'm developing a set of tools meant to aid in learning Chinese characters and I realized that I don't know a good dataset containing character decomposition. Ideally it should be comprehensive (or have as good coverage as possible), machine-readable and available for free (creative commons?). So far I know about <a href="https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Wiktionary:Main_Page" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Wiktionary</a> and <a href="https://github.com/skishore/makemeahanzi/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Make Me a Hanzi</a>. What are the other ones?</p>

Please note that this kind of decomposition is merely graphical. A lot of the time they don’t reveal how the character functions at all. See [this related question](https://chinese.stackexchange.com/questions/30261/chinese-character-decomposition/30266#30266).

CHISE (<http://www.kanji.zinbun.kyoto-u.ac.jp/projects/chise/ids/index.html>) is one of the most comprehensive ones available, containing decompositons for almost all characters in the [CJK unicode block](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CJK_Unified_Ideographs_(Unicode_block)).

<https://github.com/amake/cjk-decomp> or
<https://github.com/cjkvi/cjkvi-ids> is what you're looking for. Licenses are included in the repos. The IDS decomposition is newer but licensing seems a bit unclear. Then again, Chinese characters haven't changed since the first repo, cjk-decomp, was created, use that perhaps.
