Hello!

We have been working on a Java API for reading Wikipedia XML dumps for sometime and it's now reasonably functional. Check out:

http://code.google.com/p/wikixmlj/

*Features:*

* Easy access to important elements of a Wikipedia page
* Also provides interfaces for Wiki text parsing.
* Memory efficient
      o SAX interface for parsing
      o Lazy loading of files for DOM
      o Callback support with DOM
* Directly operate on compressed wikipedia dumps (gzip/bzip2/native
  xml supported)

Interesting. Is it usable by people who don't know what a "DOM parser" or "SAX interface" is?
