Source code

WikiPipes is a Java library for programatic wiki usage. It can be used to migrate wiki pages from one wiki to another one, using a different syntax.

What it does

WikiPipes can

• log into a wiki
• fetch a page by name
• download it locally as wiki snytax or STIF (essentially XHTML)
• upload STIF or native wiki syntax

For MediaWiki it can also return the link to the Semantic MediaWiki RDF feed.

Status

Adapters supporting read and write (and login) exist for:

• JSPWiki
• MediaWiki
• Google Code Wiki

Download

Latest release: http://semweb4j.org/repo/de/fzi/wikipipes.dist/1.0.0/wikipipes.dist-1.0.0.zip (fixed broken link on 1.7.2008)

Usage

• API JavaDocs
• Example code How to copy a MediaWiki to a JSPWiki
• Copying to the local file system is similar, just replace the target wiki with a WikiPageFS.
• See also WikiPipes/FAQ

IWikiPage

You have three options:

• page.getContentAsWif() -- returns the content as a STIF document as a Java Reader. This format is ideal for conversion to other syntaxes. It contains only the relevant parts of the visible HTML rendering of the page.
• page.rawWikiPage().getNativeWikitext() -- returns the raw, unparsed wiki syntax
• page.rawWikiPage().getRawHtmlContent() -- returns the HTML content of the page

Future

• We currently work on exporting a complete wiki (page content + page graph) as a single CDS model.
• We also work on support for reading the previous versions of a MediaWiki.

Developing

We manage our issues in JIRA .

• Project page at Google Code
• Developer Site
• Source Code in SVN
