Hi
Some of you who use JS and Python were probably excited about
deployment of new RCStream (1) and some of you who use .Net were
probably disapointed how complex it is to get it, JSON and
websockets.IO running on .Net in order to get it working.
Here I made a super simple C# library that utilizes a XmlRcs (2) proxy
to RCStream using only native .Net libraries that are provided by
microsoft and mono. That means this library is working out of the box
anywhere. You can get it here:
https://github.com/huggle/XMLRCS/tree/master/clients/c%23/XmlRcs
This library makes it extremely simple for anyone to connect to
wikimedia recent changes stream for any WMF project and hook event to
any change made to wiki. This would be probably very useful for .Net
bots and tools.
Let me know if you needed any help or improvements, or just use that
github tracker! Have fun
