Project Objectives

jwiki is intended to be a simple, reliable, and low-overhead framework for anybody seeking to make use of the MediaWiki API. Emphasis is placed on:

• Simplicity - Complex objects and functions are abstracted into the background so that anybody, regardless of Java experience, will be able to use jwiki.
• Speed - Network calls, local computation, and memory usage are optimized and kept at a minimum, so as to enhance performance and reduce overhead.
• Succinctness - Most complex API actions can be performed in jwiki using one line of local code consisting of simple objects and primitive types.
