Hi all,
First, thank you for viewing my post. I'm working on product to get information
from wiki and show them in office application. And when I am working with MediaWiki APIs,
I found a problem. I use C# to build my application and I get the query result from
MediaWiki by Json format. And my problem is that Some APIs will return a json object which
cannot be deserialized to a C# object.
For example, when I try to get the image list of Seattle,(the request url is this)
The result will be:
This image got scrubbed by the mailing list.
Interestingly, it arrived here in the html version (it contained just
[image: JSON%20result.jpg] in the plain text one).
It was a hotlinked image to

Please check the red box in the picture above. As
we know that JSON is a key/value based format and in the red box,
this key is dynamically generated according to the page id. in this
way, this json
is unable to be deserialized to a C#
object since I have to map a C# property to a const
key/ID in code. I just wonder why MediaWiki do this? if MediaWiki
APIs wants to support to show multipage in query result, probably it should use Array to
show all page info?
Can't you iterate the keys?
