Readme for mediawiki-0.2.4
= mediawiki - Accessing MediaWiki from Haskell =
'mediawiki' is a Haskell package providing a comprehensive binding to
the programmatic interface to MediaWiki (aka, 'the MediaWiki API') -
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API
The binding is allegedly complete (2008-11-17), letting you write
applications in Haskell that accesses and (if enabled by target Wiki)
manipulate content on MediaWiki pages.
= Getting started =
For some code samples showing you how to get started using this
API binding, have a look in the examples/ directory.
= Building and installing =
This package is provided in Cabal form, so only thing you need to
do to get going is:
foo% runghc Setup configure
foo% runghc Setup build
foo% runghc Setup install
The package depends on a bunch of other packages though, so you
need to have them built&installed, as well. They are:
* HTTP: http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/HTTP
* xml: http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/xml
* mime: http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/mime
* utf8-string: http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/utf8-string
