Hi all,
First, thank you for viewing my post. I'm working on product to get
information from wiki and show them in office application. And when I am
working with MediaWiki APIs, I found a problem. I use C# to build my
application and I get the query result from MediaWiki by Json format. And my
problem is that Some APIs will return a json object which cannot be
deserialized to a C# object.
For example, when I try to get the image list of
Seattle<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seattle>,(the
request url is
this<http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&prop=images&imlimit=6&titles=Seattle&format=json>)
The
result will be:
[image: JSON%20result.jpg]
Please check the red box in the picture above. As we know that JSON is a
key/value based format and in the red box, this key is dynamically generated
according to the page id. in this way, this json is unable to be
deserialized to
a C# object since I have to map a C# property to a const key/ID in code. I
just wonder why MediaWiki do this? if MediaWiki APIs wants to support to
show multipage in query result, probably it should use Array to show all
page info?
