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
• SAX interface for parsing
• Lazy loading of files for DOM
• Callback support with DOM
• Directly operate on compressed wikipedia dumps (gzip/bzip2/native xml supported)
