Hi folks,
I am trying to work with the wikipedia API and i am having some little
problems :-)
I can fetch the main description of the topic i am looking for using:
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&prop=revisions&rvprop=content&rvsection=0&format=json&pageids=wiki_id
I received a correct json object, but the content of the revision is
full of data I do not need like {{....}} [[...]] ecc. I would like to
get only the clean description, only text (like the one visible from
the wiki website).
How can I do that? there is some parser to clean my json object?
hope someone could help me out|!
kind regards
Marco
