Hello,
Thanx for the rquick reply
If it is not possible to use API though another language
then is it better to map my contents from xml to wikitext markup language which is standard for wiki?
I also dot understand how would we store the pages and related data in databse?

hello,
Sorry to post a very basic question as I am new to API
I couldnt get the overall idea of using API as I went through the mediawiki API.
I still wonder how does it work in general?
You can request information by sending HTTP requests to http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php
I have a xml file and want to export to wiki using api
See http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Edit_-_Import
I want to use this API through a programming language VB
I still wonder how would it be possible? and how do we display pages using api?
See http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:FAQ for some frequently used requests. That FAQ page is not really finished yet but it contains some useful information already.
