I downloaded a Wikipedia dump and I want to convert the wiki format into my object format. Is there a wiki parser available that converts the object into XML?
Parsers are used when there is a need to represent input data from source code abstractly as a data structure so that it can be checked for the correct syntax. Coding languages and other technologies use parsing of some type for this purpose.
Definition of parser : one that parses specifically : a computer program that breaks down text into recognized strings of characters for further analysis.
Parser is a compiler that is used to break the data into smaller elements coming from lexical analysis phase. A parser takes input in the form of sequence of tokens and produces output in the form of parse tree. Parsing is of two types: top down parsing and bottom up parsing.
A natural language parser is a program that figures out which group of words go together (as “phrases”) and which words are the subject or object of a verb. The NLP parser separates a series of text into smaller pieces based on the grammar rules. If a sentence that cannot be parsed may have grammatical errors.
See java-wikipedia-parser. I have never used it but according to the docs :
The parser comes with an HTML generator. You can however control the output that is being generated by passing your own implementation of the
be.devijver.wikipedia.Visitor
interface.
