Jitendex is free, offline, and openly licensed and claims to be basically a more modern alternative to JMDict.
The open-source browser dictionary Yomitan is using it by default.
Maybe it suits your project?

I believe Jitendex is more of a "competitor" to my Jisho (as in, it's similar in its purpose), being a friendly interface to the same JMdict data that we all use.

It has MDict format and has this additional information and also it has like ~8400 native japanese speaker audio:

This information has all been implemented in Jitendex and is missing from JMdict.

I think it tries both, to be a alternative to Jisho (but only in that regard, that it has a Yomitan format, so its essentially not a website like your project, but a offline program) as well be an alternative to JMdict.
