[Mediawiki-api] How does API work?

[Herulee]

Hello,

Thanx for the rquick reply

If it is not possible to use API though another language

then is it better to map my contents from xml to wikitext markup language
which is standard for wiki? 

I also dot understand how would we store the pages and related data in
databse?
