I have not yet found a good and stable library for JSON parsing in c#, should you know some let me know :)
However, I disagree with "I feel like such a project would take an insane amount of resources to develop." If we wouldn't make it insanely complicated, it won't take insane amount of time ;). The cache daemon could be memcached which is already written and stable. Listener is a simple daemon that just listen in UDP, parse the data from mediawiki and store them in memcached in some universal format, and dispatcher is just process that takes the data from cache, convert them to specified format and send them to client. Sounds easy ;) On Fri, Mar 1, 2013 at 3:10 PM, Tyler Romeo <tylerro...@gmail.com> wrote: > On Fri, Mar 1, 2013 at 9:04 AM, Petr Bena <benap...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> The problem is that while XML is widely accepted standard supported on >> all platforms and languages, JSON, even if it might be better, is not >> so well supported in this moment.
