A set of utilities for processing MediaWiki XML dump data.
Project description
# MediaWiki XML
This library contains a collection of utilities for efficiently processing MediaWiki’s XML database dumps. There are two important concerns that this module intends to address: complexity and performance of streaming XML parsing. This library enables memory efficent stream processing of XML dumps with a simple [iterator](https://pythonhosted.org/mwxml/iteration.html) strategy. This library also implements a distributed processing strategy (see [map()](https://pythonhosted.org/mwxml/map.html)) that enables parallel processing of many XML dump files at the same time.
