Programmatically expanding iOS dictionary app lexicons

There is an app in the Apple App Store that downloads custom dictionaries and programmatically adds them to the iOS's built-in Dictionary.app without user intervention. It works normally with the stock ROM, i.e. no jailbreak or anything of that sort is required.

I wonder how this is possible since Apple has never documented such a "feature." There is no API or hints in the iOS and Dictionary.app documents to explain how this is done.

How could this be implemented?
