How are you guys categorizing them?

http://emoji.codes/family?c=emoticons http://emoji.codes/family?c=nature etc.

I don't see that the SDKs provide ways of pulling the emojis out in a categorized list to choose from, it seems to all be about the conversion. If want a list of just emoticons, how would I do that with your SDK?

In our git repo we provide a list of all the emoji, their category, keywords, shortnames etc in json format.

One more sorting question, how do sort within the category like at http://emoji.codes/ where all the smiley faces are together / people are together / etc. It has a very neat order. I've tried sorting by the unicode value but that wasn't it.

Hey, thats a great idea! We went ahead and just added it to our json file, as "category_order". :)

you rock!

Glad to help! Feel free to shoot us an email if you end up integrating us somewhere, we're very excited to see what people will do with these!
