This C++ version of wikiq in this repository has not be updated since ~2011 and has a number of critical limitations. The repository is being kept here for historical and archival purposes. Please don't rely on it!

A improved version of a very similar stream-based XML-parser for MediaWiki by the same authors can be found here:

https://code.communitydata.cc/mediawiki_dump_tools.git

These new tools are maintained by some of the same authors (now based in the Community Data Science Collective) and the new tool relies on many of the same libraries including the expat non-validating XML parser.

This new version has a very similar interface, is in written in Python, and leverages Python MediaWiki Utilities for XML dump parsing and several other tasks. The two tools have been benchmarked and the new tool's performance measures are generally within 90% of the C++ version of tool in this repository.
