Hello,
I'm trying to learn how to convert MediaWiki markup to HTML. One of the
ways I've figured out is by sending a query to api.php:
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=parse&text={{Project:Sandbox}}…
After parsing response which I get is all special characters in HTML are
kind of escaped. For e.g. < is <
So <a> becomes
<a>
Is there any way to disable this feature ?

When you get the results in XML format, those characters need to be
escaped. Add a &format= parameter for a different one (with different
escapings).
