This repository contains the Java code for the vCat 'visual' category renderer, which uses Graphviz (http://graphviz.org/) to render the category structure of MediaWiki wikis (in particular those run by the Wikimedia Foundation) as graphical trees.
It replaces a similar tool written in PHP, Catgraph.
It consists of five Maven submodules:
- vcat-core: The core library to evaluate parameters, get the necessary category information from the wiki and render it into an image.
- vcat-caffeine: An addition which allows the use of Caffeine to store the API and metadata caches.
- vcat-toolforge-webapp: A version of vCat which uses the meta_p.wiki table to look up wikis, and Caffeine for caching, as used on Wikimedia Toolforge. Builds an executable JAR file based on Quarkus (https://quarkus.io/).
- vcat-webapp-simple: A simpler version of vCat for local testing.
