ANN: A Go package providing utilities for processing Wikipedia and Wikidata dumps

by Mitar

Hi! I just published the first version of a Go package which provides utilities for processing Wikidata entities JSON dumps and Wikimedia Enterprise HTML dumps. It processes them in parallel on multiple cores, so processing is rather fast. I hope it will be useful to others, too. https://gitlab.com/tozd/go/mediawiki Any feedback is welcome.
